Now tell us George Licks.. you have been absent during all this studio work .. What have you heard about said album .. its content.. and any release time frame yet?
The band is still working on the album, at least 12 new songs were recorded during the past 18 months but it looks as some of the material lacks 'focus on it', people at Universal talked about some good stuff and some uneven songs.
There's no pressure at all to get the thing ready and done yet, maybe we can get a new single released during the early fall, that's the rumour in Universal.
Today, June 23, chances for the album released this year is 70/30 NO, it was 50/50 in April so we can do the maths...
_________________________________________
A single from the album or just a single song? hmmmmm?
Seems like they need a bit more time ... I tell ya .. they better do this one right.. being as they have had plenty of time by the time its ready
Things don't seem as productive and fluent as I thought they would be, and the notion of a "happy family" in the studio I envisioned is probably fictional.
Would be interesting to be a fly on the wall, but then again it might be get pretty nasty in there......safest thing is to just be patient and hope for the best.

...And the Apollo tribute show to Merry Clayton...Keith didn't sound very pretty to put it mildly.

I don't think its really been a happy family for 20 years and if you hear stories it never was as smooth as people think.

Well more like 35+ years or even more that it's been rough, but I was being hopeful that after the success of B&L they would be on better terms - at least in a working relationship.

OK maybe even as far back as early childhood then. There was a split in their relationship before they became reacquainted on the train platform.

ever watched stones in exile? keith and mick would show up at different times. show up on days when they knew the other wouldn't. charlie or bill even said mick and keith would make their own mixes of the songs then it would be a debate over which mix was the one that should be used

I guess the main reason for it to take so long has more to do with finding time when they can meet up and work, rather than lack of inspiration.
Had they spent three months together in the studio they might have been finished by now, but they obviously prefer to do this in spurts.

Don't Mick and Keith usually have most of the album in the bag before they call in Ronnie and Charlie. IT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME. That makes me optimistic

mmm I think I disagree. The big picture is that if there was no shortage of inspiration they would have put out more new material in the last 20 years. Of course we're talking of people in their seventies with different lives and priorities, hard to combine. Still..
but worse of lack of inspiration is to be unaware of it and putting c*ap out fast, that's why I am vaguely oprimistic

I think we will get 3 or 4 new songs before the European Tour, on a cd-single or something. And the new album with the rest of the new songs, just before the 2018 UK Tour.

The fact that this new album is taking so long might be a good thing though, maybe because its probably their last album Keith might be digging his heels in and fighting with Jagger over things, a very good sign if true.
I think that the fact that it takes so long to release an album is rather a bad sign. If you have good stuff you don't have to re-work it again and again. In case you have mediocre stuff there seems much more reason to rework it, to add something, to overdub, reproduce it etc etc.

They're just looking for a 'direction.' Once they find one, all will be well. I know that Ronnie isa fanthe mentor of One Direction. Perhaps The Stones can borrow their direction.

Maybe you're right about the UK tour, but CD single? Who buys CD singles in 2017?
No way, 1 or 2 songs released on Spotify, that's the way to go.

Blue and Lonesome has staying power.
Sirius XM Channel Bluesville plays different cuts from it ALL the time.
I've heard almost every single song on that station.
The DJ on that channel last night played 'Ventilator Blues' and commented that although the channel had been playing lots of the "new" album, he dug deep into the catalog for that one!
On a personal note, my wife really DIGS B&L and commented that she likes "that kind of music". Last night, I had it playing as dinner music and my 15 and 17 year olds were dancing to it.
Don't ever underestimate the power of The Rolling Stones.
I'm getting more and more excited about the new album with each tidbit of news.
"Dinner music" is the worst anybody could ever say about the Stones' music from my point of view. But you nailed it:-(
