===Solo recordings=== Richards has released few solo recordings. His first solo single, released in 1978, was a cover of Chuck Berry's "[[Run Rudolph Run]]", backed with his version of [[Jimmy Cliff]]'s "[[The Harder They Come (song)|The Harder They Come]]". In 1987, after Jagger pursued a solo recording and touring career, Richards formed the "X-Pensive Winos" with co-songwriter and co-producer Steve Jordan, whom Richards assembled for his Chuck Berry documentary ''[[Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll]]''.{{sfn|Christgau|1988|pp=60β66}} Additional members of the X-Pensive Winos included guitarist [[Waddy Wachtel]], saxophonist [[Bobby Keys]], keyboardist [[Ivan Neville]], and [[Charley Drayton]] on bass. The first Winos' record, ''[[Talk Is Cheap]]'', also featured [[Bernie Worrell]], [[Bootsy Collins]], and [[Maceo Parker]]. Since its release, ''Talk Is Cheap'' has gone [[Music recording sales certification|gold]] and has sold consistently. Its release was followed by the first of the two US tours Richards has done as a solo artist. ''Live at the Hollywood Palladium, 15 December 1988'' documents the first of these tours. In 1992 the Winos' second studio record, ''[[Main Offender]]'', was released, also followed by a tour.<ref name="nzentgraf">{{cite web |last=Zentgraf |first=Nico |title=The Complete Works of the Rolling Stones 1962β2008 |url=http://www.nzentgraf.de/books/tcw/works1.htm |access-date=23 February 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080319105527/http://www.nzentgraf.de/books/tcw/works1.htm |archive-date=19 March 2008 }}</ref> Although the Winos featured on both albums, the albums were credited to Richards as a solo artist.
