Mick Taylor hasn't been a Stone since 1974 and people still expect the band to include him in things. We should be grateful and amazed that they included him at all on those recent tours. You can't expect a band to keep inviting someone who quit four decades ago to continue participating.

No, it's a travesty the IORR-band wasn't involved in this, I would say.
Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
...Exactly! Who said anything about EC being "invited"? Maybe (obviouysly?) he was just 'around '... !?
The whole thing doesn't seem "planned" at àll to me -
so why 'freeze' (kill off) the moment by concerning yourself with DO's and DON'Ts, WHAT IF's and MAYBE's?!
Just play on for three days, have the occasional pizza every now & then, record the damn thing & put it out!!
I mean, they're finally doin' something spontaneous for a change... and 'we' start complaining about MICK TAYLOR not being there???
As if that guy is the ONLY guy in town who can play the blues?!?
And because of his mere four-five years with the band, the rest of the guys have lost àll prerogative to play with anyone else!!??

Never gonna happen. Mick's been watching the Periscope feed, Stop Breaking Down scared his pants off. It would be Rock and Roll Circus all over again.
LOL!
If that happens, it will be a Great Album.
Jeroen
Looks like I'm totally wrong then.
...Which I'm actually very glad about
Agreed. Not only am I looking forward to this but I'm already hoping for the expanded version to be released with a dvd of the sessions. I mean, the album is going to have +/- 12-15 tunes on it. Yet they supposedly recorded over the course of three days. How many other tunes did they play? How many alternate versions of the same tunes? Yeah, sign me up for the expanded version, outtakes and bootlegs of those three days. I'd put that right up there with any recordings of the jam sessions that Keith organized with Bill back in 2012 ('11?) on my list of Holy Grail recordings.
Peace,
Mr DJA
It's a travesty Mick Taylor was disillusioned by the music biz and stopped recording albums. An authentic blues album by him would be absolutely stunning. He could have some younger collaborators that admire him like Slash and some different vocalists (Jagger perhaps) if he didn't want to sing on everything. Hell, I'd record him for free!
I don't blame the Stones for not including him. He garnered so much attention during the recent tours that maybe there was some jealousy.
I just can't stand anything he has done (Dylan, Nelson, Black Crowes etc), and I was hoping they would get someone new for this album who could get the boys out of their comfort zone, not to do something new, but to do something that is less bombastic. Bigger Bang is the worst Stones album. Overproduced, in-your-face, very loud and full, weak songs that feel like outtakes...
There was a time when Jack White's name was quite often mentioned as a possible producer... That would have been interesting...
Unfortunately Don Was is still not past tense.
Talk about your favorite band.

Today, French outlet Le Figaro published an interview with Don Was. He said, “The album consists of covers of blues songs of Chicago. It was recorded live in the studio in just three days, with the musicians in a circle around the microphones."

If you record a new album and invite one guitar player to participate on one or two songs who´s going to be your choice:
a) an ex-member who quit out of the blue 40 years ago and since then is a complete unknown to broader audiences
b) a legendary figure in music-business and world-wide superstar
Please stop all this moaning about MT not being with the Stones, he´s a figure of the past. He is no more a Rolling Stone. He will never be a Rolling Stone again. He will never appear on upcoming RS-albums.
Btw, I think the Stones had no plans for another guitarist participating, it just happened that EC was recording his own album at the same studio at the same time. So he just sat in for one or two tracks.

RE: how unlikely it was to convince Mick to do a blues album...
May 1992, Mick cuts 14 blues sides with The Red Devils and states:
"The blues sides were cut with the Red Devils, a band signed to Def American. I used to go see them Monday nights at the King King Club in L.A. and I sung with them a couple of times. We did one whole day of 14 blues sides. Some obscure, some not. We don't know if we're going to put them out. We just did them for fun... You go in and out of these things. You think, I know it, I've heard it, it's all in my head. I don't need to put records on. It's different when you're actually playing it or seeing it - that's something else. Listening to blues records sometimes gets to be a bit... But sometimes you go back to it and you say, Wow, this is really great. Especially buying a new collection of something like old spiritual singers that I used to like when I was a teenager that I'd forgotten. God knows they're pretty heavy and dark. You come back to that and it gives you a bit of a chill. If you go in and buy records that you haven't heard in a very long time you can get back into it. Playing and singing it - especially with bands like the Red Devils who are a real blues band, they only play blues - you get a sense of, Wow, I was there. When I was 19 that's what I used to do - just play this music. That was all I did!"
June 1992, Mick organizes and headlines a blues festival in the UK and states:
"National Music Day is a celebration of music they have in France and other countries and we did one in England. My contribution musically was to do this blues evening, which I did with the Gary Moore Blues Band as house band. We had Pops Staples, who's not really thought of as a blues performer at all, but going way back he really was... And we had Buddy Guy and Jimmy Rogers who used to play with Muddy Waters, and Otis Rush. And Ronnie Wood, of course, the famous blues guitarist... It was quite a good evening all in all. I did a short set with Gary Moore. We did numbers by Sonny Boy Williamson, Z.Z. Hill, we did Who Do You Love by Bo Diddley. It was a really good evening. I hadn't done anything like that for a while."
July 2001, Mick states: "I would love to do a blues record, and I think a blues record would be very good to do with the Rolling Stones. But I'd also like to do a blues record on my own. The songwriting limitations upon the blues are rather too much of a structure, you know, and that's a real forced-into-a-corner kind of style. It's difficult to be forward-looking in that genre, and that's a really tough one."
September 2011, Mick states: "(I've been) writing loads of these 12-bar blues songs, so I'm looking forward to doing something more in that vein."
February 2012, Mick headlines RED, WHITE, and BLUES at The White House.
I think it's safe to say Mick has toyed with the idea of a blues album off and on for 25 years. This wasn't a spontaneous decision. It's something Mick Jagger, that Peter Pan slave to fashion as we're constantly reminded, has wanted to do for a long time. STRIPPED can be seen as a stepping stone to it as well.

If it is truly a raw blues album, I think it will be great.
But..... here are a few things that could mess it up:
1. Clapton playing more than Keith and Ronnie.
2. Don overproducing it.
3. If it is a "return to blues" in name only ala Rod's last 10 "I'm getting back to mandolins and acoustics" albums.
Also, I'd love a couple of (bluesy) originals with the standards.

Agreed. Not only am I looking forward to this but I'm already hoping for the expanded version to be released with a dvd of the sessions. I mean, the album is going to have +/- 12-15 tunes on it. Yet they supposedly recorded over the course of three days. How many other tunes did they play? How many alternate versions of the same tunes? Yeah, sign me up for the expanded version, outtakes and bootlegs of those three days. I'd put that right up there with any recordings of the jam sessions that Keith organized with Bill back in 2012 ('11?) on my list of Holy Grail recordings.
Peace,

A travesty Mick Taylor wasn't involved with this.
It's a travesty Mick Taylor was disillusioned by the music biz and stopped recording albums. An authentic blues album by him would be absolutely stunning. He could have some younger collaborators that admire him like Slash and some different vocalists (Jagger perhaps) if he didn't want to sing on everything. Hell, I'd record him for free!
I don't blame the Stones for not including him. He garnered so much attention during the recent tours that maybe there was some jealousy.

If it is truly a raw blues album, I think it will be great.
But..... here are a few things that could mess it up:
1. Clapton playing more than Keith and Ronnie.
2. Don overproducing it.
3. If it is a "return to blues" in name only ala Rod's last 10 "I'm getting back to mandolins and acoustics" albums.
Also, I'd love a couple of (bluesy) originals with the standards.
I just can't stand anything he has done (Dylan, Nelson, Black Crowes etc), and I was hoping they would get someone new for this album who could get the boys out of their comfort zone, not to do something new, but to do something that is less bombastic. Bigger Bang is the worst Stones album. Overproduced, in-your-face, very loud and full, weak songs that feel like outtakes...
There was a time when Jack White's name was quite often mentioned as a possible producer... That would have been interesting...
Unfortunately Don Was is still not past tense.

Claptons's virtuoso blues guitar playing will raise the level of the tune(s) he plays on to an extremely higher level.
Would have been nice to have Mick Taylor on board, but when it comes to pure nitty gritty blues playing, Clapton is the right man for the job.
