Since they can't seem to get a new album of originals together, maybe they should try a new strategy: writing about trying to start writing. Here are a few suggestions to get the ball rolling:
Paint It Blank
Let's Try a Take Together
You Can't Always Write When You Want
It's Only Hitting Walls
Rhyme Waits For No One
Fool To Try
Sputtered
Worried About Groove
Flops
Ain't No Use In Trying
Waiting On A Pen
Almost Hear You Try
Mixed Demo Shuns
Perfect to stop at 13: an unlucky number for an album that doesn't seem to work.

Yes Ian, a frustrating and mysterious situation with this supposed new album, but can't say I'm really surprised.
13 years and counting...it's only rock'n'roll...can't get no satisfaction...GRRRR.....
But as the old saying goes, when life gives you lemons you make lemonade.

new tracks from the recent recording sessions as a bone to chew on for die-hards like us. Could of course mean that an entirely new recordings album will remain a dream forever.

Obviously I'm quite 'lackluster' about all of this too; but I have to say I agree here - seems the most plausible thingie for the near future.
And I have the distinct feeling that the "Gotta Get a Grip / England's Lost" debacle (not just the poor airplay, comments & sales, but moreover the umpty'th schizma it brought within the band...) has been the final nail in the coffin of our 'new' album.
Oh well - time will tell.

I can understand your association with CYHMN Taylor and the sound of Carlos Santana but that was in 1971 .. but Santana had only been known for maybe a year or two at the time.
Howdy Ian.
Santana, while still a relatively a young band, were already huge by the time the Stones recorded CYHMK. Along with their breakthrough Woodstock appearance in 1969, and their first studio album released around the same time, there's no doubt the Stones - or at the least Mick Taylor - were familiar with them and their sound when they recorded CYHMK. Similarities in the jam aspects and the Taylor solo of CYHMK with Santana's well known extended jams and Carlos's tasty guitar solos make comparisons inevitable.
Some interesting quotes from Timeisonourside:
Mick Taylor makes no mention of Carlos:
"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" ... is one of my favourites ... [The jam at the end] just happened by accident; that was never planned. Towards the end of the song I just felt like carrying on playing. Everybody was putting their instruments down, but the tape was still rolling and it sounded good, so everybody quickly picked up their instruments again and carried on playing. It just happened, and it was a one-take thing. A lot of people seem to really like that part." - Mick Taylor, 1979

Just listening to Gotta Get A Grip / England Lost.
I'm sure Mick had a lot of fun and a big smile by creating this (which actually sounds more like the Stones could but is denied here).
Mick also knows that his enthusiasm will not be met with the others - or probably Keith only!
Knowing that almost all productivity is on me I wouldn't like to work with them, too...
It's just more Might As Well Get Juiced. Although better than that crap song, there's nothing about Gotta Get A Grip that's good. England Lost is the more interesting of the two but there's nothing significant about either, really.
So yeah, that kind of work is all on Mick. Mick already had MAWGJ done. So of course Keith would say something like "Actually, I had very little to do with (the Dust Brothers). I'm like, What do you want me to do? And they're like, Oh, just do what you always do. I'm thinking, That's PRODUCING?"
Might As Well supports my point: The producTIVITY is on Mick almost only.

The new album is still on slow motion, they didn't work much on it during the last 6 months and is not on Universal's Q2 or Q3 schedule.
A new hits compilation is being discussed right now to cash in during the upcoming tour, all their compilation albums are out of print, even GRRR which was released only 5 years ago, so a new one is an option.

The album has not been dropped because of a solo single. The fact that their work ethic isn't what it was before they were in their mid-seventies would be considered understandable and realistic anywhere but here. People call Mick "Peter Pan" but IORR is truly the place where no one allows them to grow old. The new album is a work in progress. You'll get it in the same time frame as any creative work, when it's done. For now, keep your eye on December and wait and see.

We don't need another hit compilation, but we need a new album with new material.
WE may not need it... but the PUBLIC might... especially the NEW audience (20-30y.), of which I've seen NUMEROUS amounts on the NO FILTER tour.
These people (only) buy a 'new', 'fresh' hits compilation, in stead of going out looking for 'old' ones... even if the track listings are identical.
On top of that: give it, marketingwise, a new 'hip' coat, mumble some 'Star Wars' lingo about "Remastered multi-track XXXOMOMO K-576894 super dilbydolby Hi-tech" (...on extra-heavy vinyl !! "),
stuff that makes even many of you - the 'experienced' fans & completists - reach for the wallet, and taadaa.

Licks was 2002
Grrrrr was 2012
Too early to tour behind a greatest hits compilation. It's amazing they toured behind the Licks and Grrrr moniker as it is.........and got away with it easily

I dunno...georgelicks seems to know what's happening and there's no reason to doubt.
On the bright side -if you can call it that - there might be a new bonus track on the upcoming compilation.
Maybe the song Mick was working on with that dude Carl Falk that's filled with "blues chords"... could be titled NO STOPPING to tie in with the tour.

They've done it three times, toured behind a hits comp. 1975 was the first.

Stones front man Mick Jagger was beaming and not just from the news he's expecting his ninth child in September.
