QuoteGasLightStreet Quote20kGrandmas it’s really all about the songwriting for me. I could care less about guitar solos…the idea that any type of magic is gone while Keith and Mick are still writing together is blasphemous. My favorite and one of the greatest songwriting duos of all time in the history of music are putting out another album. Just feel lucky we get one more. Can’t wait to add i

QuoteRocky Dijon QuoteGerardHennessy There appears to be a growing consensus that a new album will be released in November-time. Or something passing for a new album.

Quoterolling1us Quotekeefriffhards Does anyone else tire of all this BS concerning the release date of alleged studio album. Yup, it's getting boring and pointless. Without any official announcement it's just like talking about the weather. It might be sunny or it might rain and nobody can change that. Hope we will get a new album but if not, nothing we can do about it. Thank you

I love Blue & Lonesome. Always have, always will. And to be perfectly honest I would love The Stones to do another album of well chosen covers. Maybe soul, maybe country, maybe reggae. They excel at performing all these genres. Lucinda Williams did a whole series of excellent cover albums a while back. Including one of Stones numbers. And she is a performer who is still producing excellent or
