GetYerAngieI am not concerned about fast or slow songs. I love much of the slow stuff - fx on SF side B on TY. But I think the lesson from B&L is that Keith-vocals are not need on stones albums. They might be fine to some on his solo stuff, but since Before they make me run on SG they haven't done much good on stones albums. The heavy influence from Tom Waits (voice and style and fake authencity) has been hard to integrate on the albums from All about you (ER) and on.Quote

The mellow stuff on CH has Dylan-quality (musically, that is). If the Stones could capture some of that vibe on their new album, I'll be happy.
I hope they wont. Dylan has at his best made mediocre albums since Time Out of Mind. And sure hope that CH will not be the model for the forthcoming album - and that Keith vocal-tracks will be restrickted to the lewell on B&L, which was one of many strengths of that album.
Nobody wants only mellow stuff on the new album, I suppose. I was merely pointing to the production and the vibe on those kind of tracks. Many of the Stones's latter-day ballads sounds like an elephant in a green room – no dynamics, no warmth in sound.
+1 Neither I hope for an only-slow-ballads album for ***sake.
But I completely agree with DandelionPowderman here, and would add: greatest Stones album in the past are far from uptempo tour de force. Just for the record: Beggars Banquet that basically has just SFTD and SFM that you would consider "fast" and they are peculiarly so; Sticky Fingers (I think I recalla MJ interview just before or after the release of the Fonda gig, in which he showed his concerns about the quantity of "slow" material on the album to be played live); side B of Tattoo You.
Stones are about the "roll" far more than the "rock" and there are many different paces to roll on.

I know its getting annoying Hairball but i keep agreeing with you lol.
Yes i too was very disappointed that Keith, Mr Blues himself, didn't get at least one song on BAL.
it really needed it, the album is far too one dimensional, especially after half a dozen plays. I got bored with it after the first week and haven't wanted to play it since.

According to the Daily Mail (yes, take it with a grain of salt) Keith is back in the studio, this time in NY.

Great news. I thought the same when I saw the picture of Mick from NYC a few days ago.
Normally they do final overdubs and mixing in NYC.

A live compilation of what? The less played songs from the past tours or that much rumoured live duets album?

My understanding is that they've made real progress over the last few years on nailing songs like "Gimme Shelter," "Satsfaction," "Miss You," "You Got Me Rocking," and "It's Only Rock'n'Roll," among several others, in concert. Perhaps a record chronicling that achievement would do well?

If the news is reliable, this could be the compilation of previously released live material that was considered a number of years ago and then wisely scrapped. Much as no one may want The Best of 2012-2016 previously unreleased concert recordings, The Best of 1971-2016 previously released concert recordings would likely appeal even less.

I just hope he hangs around when the final production and mixing of this album takes place. I feel he has neglected the finishing touches in recent decades, Mick seems to take over and drown Keith out of the mix as much as he can. That's why we keep ending up with Mick solo Stones albums.
Come on Keith stay the course this time me beauty.
FREE KEITH!

"They were experimenting in the studio earlier this year, and everything just gelled. They ended up with around 15 tracks which they have cut down to album-length, and when the label execs heard it they were thrilled"

Typical Daily Mail, making a statement that the Stones will make 2 million pounds from the new album. Big deal, obviously they are not making it for the money, they are making it for themselves and the fans.

Quite different than what georgelicks said just last week:
"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..."
I put more weight in what georgelicks has to say than whatever the Daily Mail has to say which is usually 10% fact and 90% fantasy.
The only sentence that might be true in from the Daily Mail is "They were experimenting in the studio earlier this year", but with their track record you have to even question that.
