If you're a big Stones fan and have a knowledge of their history, then this documentary won't have much new stuff to offer. We get the usual story about what influenced him starting out from the old blues of Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf to the early rock of Chuck Berry and Elvis. Most of the documentary is about his appreciation for the music as well as the making of his third solo album Crosseyed Heart (though it doesn't really get much into the songs themselves). The making of the album is more of a backdrop for Keith's ramblings on the music he loves, which I suppose was sort of the point, but it makes the documentary feel choppy and sporadic at times. It'll jump from him praising Reggae, from breifly mentioning his 80s feud with Mick, to him playing with his idol Chuck Berry in '86 within a span of 2-3 minutes. These are all very entertaining on their own, but these stories don't always get as much breathing room to go too far in depth.
This is by no means a bad documentary, its very watchable and entertaining, but its not as grand as you'd want a documentary to be about a legend like Keith.
