They have all tracks almost ready...They'll must work entirely on 4/5 tracks only...Then a touch here and there and new album will be ready!I think that they are into a studio right now for a couple of weeks then they'll come back in Late April/May for another couple of weeks, then mixing and overdubs and the new album will be ready in September with a new North American Tour with major cities...
It is possible that now they'll cut 2/3 tracks for the upcoming Southamerican Tour...

North America has had a tour this year. The UK and Europe should be visited first!

Wood tells ABC Radio that another thing he’s looking forward to is getting perform in Colombia and Peru, countries where The Rolling Stones have never played.

Well, in all likelihood, let's look at the past two decades...
1996 - Mick writes a bunch of songs intending to do a solo album, but the rest of the band decides they want to do another album/tour instead so the solo album becomes Mick's half of BRIDGES TO BABYLON
2000 - Mick writes a bunch of songs. A band meeting is held where tour concepts such as BLASPHEMY and 2001: A STONES ODYSSEY are kicked around. It's decided to wait for the 40th anniversary and do an "over the top package" instead. Mick's songs become GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY.
2004 - Dave Stewart invites Mick to join him on the ALFIE soundtrack. They bring along one GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY outtake [BEING MICK DVD features the demo of "Old Habits Die Hard"], one WANDERING SPIRIT outtake [Dave recorded his own version of "The Blind Leading the Blind" as a B-side to GREETINGS FROM THE GUTTER], and two hastily "written" efforts for the project. That Fall, Mick (sometimes with Keith present) begins demoing A BIGGER BANG unsure if Charlie will be available or not.
2008 - Mick takes part in a series of jam sessions organized by Dave Stewart over the next three years that will eventually take form as SUPER HEAVY.
2009 - Mick finishes a bunch of outtakes selected by Don Was and Matt Clifford over the next two years for the reissue projects. Not all are released.
2012 - Mick and Keith each bring one song for the 50th anniversary project.
2015 - Mick states he has enough songs for another album. Either a Stones album or a solo album.
Conclusion: there is little interest in genuine collaboration. Mick prepares polished demos with Matt Clifford and the band decides whether they like it or not. Mick's interviews over the years (see the wonderful TIME IS ON OUR SIDE website's track talk) make it clear the band are sometimes dismissive of Mick's ideas. Likewise, Don Was or the record label are sometimes dismissive of his ideas. As CROSSEYED HEART showed, Keith absolutely requires time and indulgence to develop songs through jamming. He isn't allotted that any more from Mick who finds that creative process unsatisfying. The result is Keith makes changes such as adding descending melody lines or changing opening riffs rather than actually sitting down and creating songs from scratch with Mick.
What the band thinks of Mick's demos when they gather in December will determine whether we get a new Stones album or a Mick solo album is the bottom line. The process though is largely done. All that's left is dubbing their parts onto the demos. Much like they have worked for the past twenty years. I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt I am.

Could Mick have finished Keith and Jack's recordings while he was in Nashville?

"I've got a lot of new songs, and songs I've written over the last couple of years," Jagger said, describing the new Rolling Stones album. "I've done really good demos for all of them, which I would love to record. I'd love to record a Stones album." April, 2015
...add two Keith's solo songs and new album is ready!

For the record, I'm a Stones fan who enjoys both Glimmer Twins solo as well. I've come to accept over the last thirty years that they work best creatively apart. When they do work together, you're just as likely to get a VOODOO LOUNGE as a DIRTY WORK. And, as Mick said about VOODOO LOUNGE, the results do not differ substantially from working quickly (the STEEL WHEELS model) to justify the aggravation. Much as I enjoy CROSSEYED HEART, I'm not convinced Keith is "back" in terms of bursting with creativity. I think he needs indulgence and sympathetic collaborators. That isn't necessarily the Stones. Like it or not, they both know their best work is behind them. What they do now is simply carrying on. The pressure is far greater than ever before to not "tarnish the legacy." This is something every veteran artist faces. That is why many will create only for themselves in their last years and be reluctant to share the results. That certainly describes Mick's continuous songwriting efforts. As Dave Stewart noted several years ago, Mick could release tons of new songs they've amassed over the years. He suggested Mick do so exclusively as a cloud release. And it isn't just talk, one journalist reported Dave Stewart playing him a track. L'wren's fashion shows even featured some exclusive Mick songs never aired elsewhere. There's a lot that is locked up in the archive of recent vintage.
