Hi all !
There was talk of another album of original songs being published in 2017. Is there any credible news?

After the success of B&L, we can't be surprised if they record a volume 2 of blues covers, they can do anything they want, a new album with new songs maybe is not what 90% of the buying public wants from the Stones.
It looks like Elton John was right about the Stones going back to the blues to be relevant again.
Blues covers = short time on the studio, more album sales.

High sales everywhere and out of stock too simply because it's over ELEVEN YEARS without a new album!
A new album of originals should be had the same glory!
It is not important what kind of music they play...People wanted new Stones stuff...
So, I hope that they don't copy Rod Stewart and his American songbook series...I don't wanna see Mick and his mates in jacket and paillettes in Vegas singin' old tunes..C'mon let make a solid decent 12 tracks studio album of originals and hit the road!

I have asked if they are still with Universal and have copied my post from 2008 saying they should do exactly what they've done with B & L and have received no response.
Anyway, if they are still with Universal, it seems there is someone guiding them in the right direction so maybe they won't be allowed to release another weak album like ABB.
Fingers crossed that they will release quality or nothing.
Crumbling_mice is correct about ABB and I'm truly sick of the perception that criticising the Stones means you aren't a true fan.
They aren't always wonderful and sycophantic grovelling won't help them get their act together.
