The Rolling Stones guitarist is one of the chief architects of rock 'n' roll, and this film traces the sources of his inspirations — electric blues, country honky-tonk, southern soul, and more. Richards has typically been known as a tough interview, but here, in conversations with director Morgan Neville, he comes across as reflective, funny, and poignant. Neville and his crew sit in on the New York recording sessions for Crosseyed Heart and speak with Richards' musical collaborators, who include Tom Waits and musician/ co-producers Steve Jordan and Waddy Wachtel. They also journey to Chicago — where Richards first encountered Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and the hallowed studios of Chess Records — and to Nashville, where he explores his long love of country music.
