The Rolling Stones recently concluded recording sessions for a new album in Paris with producer Don Was. The band will reconvene in the New Year for additional sessions for an album tentatively due in summer 2005, Was tells Billboard.com.
Was describes the Stones' new music as considerably different from their recent releases. "Mick [Jagger] and Keith [Richards] are writing songs together in a collaborative fashion that probably hasn't been seen since the late '60s," he says. "I would say that longtime fans of the Rolling Stones will be thrilled with these results, and new fans will understand why they're the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world."
Was recalls sessions in which Jagger and Richards composed spontaneously, sometimes with Richards playing bass and Jagger on drums. "He's a great drummer," Was confides. "He's also playing a lot of guitar, and he's a really good guitar player. He's been playing bass on some things, [and] Keith is playing bass on some things. They're just great -- there's a reason that they've been the Rolling Stones for so long.
"And they can do it four times a day, every day," Was says of the pair's writing sessions, "and they're really good songs. I've never seen anything like it."
Drummer Charlie Watts, who was recently treated for throat cancer, also attended the Paris sessions and is in excellent health, Was says. "And he's playing like a lion," he adds.
In 2002, the Stones recorded at Studios Guillaume Tell, also in Paris, with Was and engineer Ed Cherney. Four of the songs recorded there are featured on the 2-disc "40 Licks" compilation released in 2002. Additional material recorded at those sessions may appear on the Stones' next album, says Was, "but this all seems to be of a piece so far, and is substantially different than anything I've worked on with them. It's really collaborative.
"It's not done," Was adds. "We can still f*** it up a thousand different ways, you know? But what I'm hearing now is very much in the great Stones tradition."
Was has been active throughout 2004, producing the Stones' two-disc "Live Licks" set released last month, as well as upcoming albums by Solomon Burke, Jessie Coulter and Kris Kristofferson, the latter recorded specifically for release in a surround-sound format.
Meanwhile Don has regrouped with David Was to lead their R&B project Was (Not Was) through a 12-city tour launching Dec. 27 at House of Blues in Anaheim, Calif. The tour will mark the first performance of the group in 13 years.

Ho Hum. This isn't telling me anything that I didn't already know....apart from a few particulars that nobody could know. So the Rolling Stones prove themselves ONCE AGAIN to be the best band ever...JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE FUCKING OFFICE. |

Yeeeeeeeeaaaaah!  It's official! I like the sound of this!

Maybe he's just being loyal, justifying what the Stones pay him, but Was does sound enthusiastic. Of course it must be an awesome experience just being there. Imagine you're in a room with Mick and Keith, fly-on-the-wall, and new Stones' music emerging from their fingers like a fountain...
But the best part is:

That is great f'ing news! It sounds like the Stones have taken a tip from Dylan and really started to consentrate on the writing of some great tunes. Judging by the hard on that Don Was seems to have about the sessions it sounds like we could be in for another Some Girls. In as much as the critics had written the Stones off prior to that album landing and shuting them all up. That is what the boys need desperatly. Can you imagine the Stones touring behind a #1 album after all these years?!
Keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't just hype and we get a classic Stones album again!!

Hype? How could the Stones create a "bad" studio album? That's a theoretical impossibility.

Call me naive, but I've had a feeling for a long time that they had it in them to put out something great....I still believe Charlie's illness was a wake up call to the Glimmer Twins.
Charlie is "playing like a lion." Bless ya, Mr. Watts.

So one can only wonder when these new tunes might show up on the web....Perhaps the glimmers will have tighter security than U2 and others lately... |

Don't get me wrong here TTM. I don't think that the Stones have ever put a "bad" album,with the possible exception of Thier Santanic Majesties Request and Dirty Work. However,even those two had flashes of brilliance,but I mean I hope we get another album that is classic, ala Some Girls,or,dare to dream Exile!
Hey it could happen! Look at Dylan's Time Out of Mind. Nobody thought he had it in him to write such a great peice of work. Then he followed it up with an equaly strong disk Love and Theft.
All I know is that Don Was said something that I thought I'd never hear again. He said that Mick and Keith are writing together again! Shit when was the last time that happened?! That's right! 1978 Some Girls!
I'm likeing what I'm hearing Ronnie!

You just gotta believe I guess. We ain't getting younger ya know. Things don't really change much over the years and centuries though. You know that worn out old qoute "as it was in the beginning...." So here we are! Never under-estimate the Rolling Stones.
