Still Shot from the Netflix Documentary Keith Richards: Under The Influence
For the past four weeks, an interesting on-line campaign has been underway to promote the release of the upcoming third solo studio album by Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards called Crosseyed Heart.
It began in August – exactly one month prior to the albums’s release next week on September 18th – and has now concluded.
The unique scheme involved four temporary “plaques” on specific sites related to Keith’s personal or professional heritage (the locations of which are in London or SW England).
These “plaque key” locations were revealed only on Richards’ Facebook and Twitter accounts.

However, to save you the hassle, I’ve listed the “keys” to unlock the four new tracks.
To hear them, just visit the Crosseyed Heart page on Keith’s website and choose the following:
Where Keith Lived as an Infant: 6 Spielman Road for Amnesia.
Where He Resided as a Teenager: 33 Chastillian Rd for Substantial Damage.
Where Richards Played His First Gig: Ealing Club for Robbed Blind.
Where Keith Auditioned: The Bricklayers Arms for Love Overdue.

Although not directly related to the album, Netflix will concurrently premiere a documentary, Keith Richards: Under The Influence. It’s directed by Morgan Neville, who’s music documentary 20 Feet From Stardom (about backup singers who both literally and figuratively stand and remain in the shadows of rock stars) took home an Oscar in 2013.
