If they do sessions for recording a new album after the tour, I would be very happy if they add some blues numbers. IMHO.

I love them playing the blues. Especially these days - they're grown up enough now to play it with authenticity.

So many past summers have been DEFINED by the new Stones single. Remember the excitement singles provided? How about just recording new takes of "Danger Up Ahead" and "You Got It Made". The world would respond.

BLUES ALBUM????
Hell yes, what a great idea. It's in their name for god sakes!!! Rolling Stone Blues. But, they can't play it like Muddy played it, would be way to slow. they should play it fast as hell, check out this version by the New Orleans band the Radiators

Second song in, stream it from right where it is. I could totally here the stones breakin' that song off!!!

And while they're at it they should make Ronnie sing I Can Feel The Fire in concert, he's been good.

Blues albums have been done 1000 times.But okay.

The real problem to me is: there is nothing more boring than an average,lifeless blues album.

The idea of a great blues album is nice.But if you want a good one you really have to play well and give your heart and soul.Their attempts at the blues since the 80's were mostly very mediocre imo.

But if you really want that just take Jagger and Red Devils.Thats okay but not great as well.
Well, Jagger wouldn't do it anyhow . .

I even love the title.

Remix/master Criss Cross Mind for the follow-up single.

Might be time for a new set of ears to help out.

Agreed.

Probably a hard job..
but im sure we all little suggestions..

Well, the producer doesn't write the songs, and I am not aware of any "lost" masterpieces that remain unreleased just because Don Was was not able to recognize their potential.

get rid of don was. he ruins even good ideas. try jack white or someone who has produced really good records lately. BOB DYLAN.

Jack White would be ineffective because in the end he is a fan and as such might become awestruck and subservient to Mick especially and as a result quality control would go out the window.

The producer needs to be someone contemporary to them, someone who can be assertive and say NO when need be, someone who isn't afraid to tell them when an idea or song or track as recorded just doesn't make it, someone who wouldn't be afraid to suggest trimming an overly long 60- to 65-minute album down to a high-quality 40- to 45-minute album, and, most of all, someone who understands the essence of musical dynamics and who wouldn't over-compress recorded tracks.

The only man for this job is Glyn Johns.

He's done a poor job. Don is more of a good time fun producer, Stones need a hard nosed boss that understands guitar tones. Jimmy Page would be my fantasy choice.

Jack White And Bob Dylan? That's Jack Froat who produces Dykan, a pseudonym for Bob himself and his team.

When the songs are lacking in quality and the songwriters bereft of inspiration, blame the producer...yeah, that makes sense.

In other words, Don Wasn't

Why not a record which highlights ALL of their strenghts?

1. Some Jazz for Charlie.

2. Chuck Berry-ish for Keith.

3. Like Jimmy Reed for Mick.

4. Blues for all of them in the early days.

5. Sitar to remember Brian.

6. Boogie-woogie piano to remember Stu.

7. Great sax for Bobby, Bobby, Bobby as a tribute/highlight.

8. Ronnie on slide guitar.

Hopefully, you get my drift.

Sounds more than just reasonable - but, still, they need great songs that fit this formula!

Naw just give me a raw Stones record with that great mish mash of blues, folk, country and rock (skip the disco and punk). I don't care if they are new compositions or covers, just good songs using production similar to Let It Bleed, excellent harmony vocals by only Mick and Keith, some acoustic guitars and good slide, possibly even pedal steel.

Don't try to find perfect riffs, just everyone playing for the song, heartfelt and soulful, without a ton of support musicians. The worst mistake would be over production, a million tracks and bad drum sounds.

I think your idea is admirable CE but better when all those strengths are combined into each song. Genre bending them all into something that is pure Stones.

Huu, that sounds a bit scary to me, CE.

Think I better stay with this:

Rolling Stones wellicht aan de slag met nieuw album

Rolling Stones may have started with new album

The Rolling Stones go after their current tour probably started with a new album.
Keith Richards says there are plans to enter the studio.

"But that's really not more than an idea. I think it would be really cool to be back
with the guys in the studio. Anything can happen," Richards said in an interview
with Rolling Stone.

The guitarist says temporarily not ready to be making music. "I want to see how
far we can still grow. I have no requirements or a vision for the band, but to remain
just part of it and see how far we can get enough."

Richards says still to enjoy touring as much as he had many years ago did.
"It's really a unique feeling that you miss when you do not. I'm really ready for to be
on stage. I look forward to it."

Cripes! And ONCE AGAIN, my thread gets tossed in with another thread.

What's a poor girl to do........give up!

Yes yes yes yes - and this is not a gripe because of it being in another thread - Keith said absolutely nothing. Again. Especially when you read this part:

Richards says there are plans to enter the studio.

"But that's really not more than an idea."

Mick Jagger and the band will be working through song ideas in a Los Angeles studio and the sessions could lead to the much-anticipated blues album

...or not

But on the other hand, if I look back at 2012, there were all those vague quotations about how nice it would be to hit the road again that didn't sound any more real than this and now we have The Stones on the road for the third year in a row. So who knows
