No, it's a travesty the IORR-band wasn't involved in this, I would say.

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.

And besides...when it comes to raw, crude, authentic blues, I feel pretty confident that Keith Richards and Ron Wood can deliver. Adding Clapton is a nice touch but I'm sure it would be some good music without him.

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.

*but all around mic, nothing else, nothing but instruments and voice, no?
No Was. No adding. No sound problem. All captured live. No backs.
That's what I say.
Sounds like no Was.
No added opinions or talking about it.
Just the action baby.

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.

The band in a circle playing the blues in a studio with Eric "slow hand " Clapton sitting in on a few songs. Then throw in Mick on the harmonica.
Nothing could screw this up....this will be as good as it gets.
And what I have waiting for ..for a long long time.

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.
