Keith Richards has confirmed details of his first solo album in over 20 years. 'Crosseyed Heart', the guitarist's third lone release, follows on from 1992's 'Main Offender' and 1988's 'Talk Is Cheap'.

The Rolling Stones released their most recent studio album 'A Bigger Bang' in 2005.

"I had a ball making this new record and working with [drummer] Steve Jordan and [guitarist] Waddy Wachtel again," Richards said. "There’s nothing like walking into a studio and having absolutely no idea what you’re going to come out with on the other end."

Richards' LP will be released on September 18 via Virgin EMI, consisting of fifteen tracks in all. A press release states that the record was inspired by "reggae, rock, country and the blues".

The record will feature contributions from The Rolling Stones' late saxophonist Bobby Keys, who died in December 2014.

The first single from the album, 'Trouble', will be released on July 17.
