What is the name of Keith Richards' solo album released in 1988?

Keith Richards’ 1988 solo album is Talk Is Cheap.

It was Richards’ debut solo studio album, released in October 1988 while tensions between Richards and Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger had temporarily disrupted the band. Richards formed the X-Pensive Winos with drummer and co-writer Steve Jordan, and the group became the core backing band for the sessions.

The album blends rock and roll, blues, roots rock, funk, and country-influenced playing. Songs such as “Take It So Hard,” “Make No Mistake,” and “You Don’t Move Me” helped establish Richards’ solo voice while retaining the loose, guitar-driven character associated with the Stones. The title also reflects Richards’ long-standing musical attitude toward grand talk without action.

Talk Is Cheap was recorded in several studios, including facilities in New York, Quebec, and Montserrat. It reached No. 24 on the US Billboard 200 and No. 37 in the UK. A common mix-up is Main Offender, Richards’ second solo studio album, released in 1992.
