About
Main Offender is Keith Richards' second solo studio album and his third overall. Released in 1992 in between The Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels and Voodoo Lounge project, Main Offender remains to date Richards' most recent offering as a solo artist. Regrouping with his group of musician friends — known publicly as "The X-Pensive Winos" — Richards teamed up with Talk is Cheap collaborator, Steve Jordan, adding Waddy Watchel to the mix both in composing and producing Main Offender. Sessions took place in California and New York City from March to September 1992, with another round of touring scheduled that fall in Europe and early 1993 in North America. When Richards would reunite with Mick Jagger (who was recording Wandering Spirit while Richards was making Main Offender) in mid-1993 to start work on Voodoo Lounge, Jagger would compliment Richards on Main Offender, even using lead single "Wicked As It Seems" as inspiration for The Rolling Stones' next single, "Love Is Strong". Released in October 1992, Main Offender received another round of positive review, but failed to match the commercial success of Talk is Cheap, reaching #45 in the UK and #99 in the US where it has sold over 200,000 copie. Following the touring commitments in support of Main Offender, Richards would return to recording exclusively with The Rolling Stones and put his solo career on an indefinite hold.
