Something odd about the statement from Rolling Stone: "Richards even called sessions with Mick Jagger 'really fun'".
First of all, I don't think I've ever heard Keith use the word "fun" regarding anything.
Secondly, calling something "really fun" seems totally out of character and is not a part of his vocabulary.
Thirdly, using the phrase "really fun" in the same sentence as Mick Jagger would never happen. Maybe "really funny" in regards to Mick's solo career, but that's about it.
I wouldn't consider this latest blurb totally fake news or breaking news as there might be a grain of truth in it somewhere, but it seems like the same 'blah blah blah' we've been hearing for a long time now.
That said, I'm sure they're still at least thinking about making a new album in the back of their minds, but I wouldn't put any money down on a pre-order just yet.
Meanwhile, Mick's on vacation in India with his family, and Keith is having someone shoveling snow at his home in Connecticut - or maybe he's in Jamaica now smoking a giant spliff with his Rasta brethren.
"A really good original album"....coming from the man who titled an album Talk is Cheap....so let's hear it Keith.

I agree, it doesn't sound like something that Keith would say. But then, perhaps someone working for Keith said it to someone working at Rolling Stone who handed it to some writer at Rolling Stone and then the article was edited afterwards... So essentially it might be true.

"It was quite fun. We did a whole week in a little room, slowly putting a new album together."

I hope Keith isn't in Jamaica at the moment.
Huge safety issues and warnings to tourists to 'stay in their resort'.

Bottom line: It's from the current RS

The chances of a new Stones album any time soon is as good as the Minnesotoa Vikings making the Super Bowl.
Current score 4th quarter: Philadelphia 38 > Minnesota 7.

Yezz ... I agree there .. I think any of us should agree with ya there. The album is certainly not just around the corner. It'll be a good while yet before we get it. As I said before... I speculate a late summer or fall (some time in fall) release... Probably September - November. However I think it'll still def come. It will simply be very late summer or Fall release.

Are the chances of a new Stones album this year better than the Cleveland Browns making the Super Bowl next year?
The Browns went 0-16 this year....

I believe the UK (and other countries) Tour has become the priority over the new album, but even that isn't etched in stone as of this moment.
As georgelicks said recently - to paraphrase: "family time is the priority right now". Maybe mpj200 can add some insight to the situation, whether it's the supposed new album or the supposed upcoming tour.
Yes it seems to be a quagmire, and unfortunately they can only be in one place at a time. Family first though, and you can't blame them!Quote

Now it's "family time" .. then it's 'tour time' ..and then its some "Art Show Time"

But..........
Grammy time is coming up - next week in fact!
January 28, 2018 airing on CBS 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT on CBS.
Now if the Stones win for the category they've been nominated in (traditional blues album), there's a possibility this will put some pep in their step regarding the new album, and encourage them to finish what they started two years ago. Not saying it's going to happen as there's some better choices in that category imo (R.L. Boyce for the win), but if they do win it could be a win-win situation for the band and the fans!
If they lose, oh well...at least they were nominated. If nothing else, maybe another Blue and Lonesome type covers album will see the light of day eventually.
*Should be noted that it's highly unlikely the category they're nominated for will be part of the televised event as it's a "minor" category along with New Age, Christian, Spoken Word, etc., and I think it was Dean Goodman who confirmed this.

I certainly can understand anyone allotting time for their family .. in a specially reserved space and such .. especially at their age . They already had three months with family ... How much is needed. Only takes a couple weeks here and there to continue work on this thing.. and they can still have pleeeeenty of time for family ... I mean unless there is more going on we don't know about.

WOW.....I pine for a new Stones album, but to begrudge them ANY time with their family at their age just beggar's belief. At their age ANY time with their family should be both a right and a bonus not an "allotment" or a "reserved space" of time.
Me at 64 yearns for time with my family, NOT for the time I have to go to work (and I love my work).
I hope YOU never grow old and be alone.
