Word has it the album is not of blues covers and is new material. Album is basically finished and there is someone who .....has heard some of it. This person recently visited Don Was at Capital Records (in which he is President of Blue Note Records).
She said she spent the night there and he was showing them his office (with all kinds of music memorabilia). She told him she loved The Rolling Stones upon seeing some things on them in his office. Don Was told her that they are coming out with a new album and he could sense her excitement so he let her listen to a song.
She told Don Was she would ...'burn her phone'...(referring to her not being able to replay any of it).... if she could just please hear more / the album. She was.. well .. let's just say 'over-joyed' .. (<to put it very mildly lol).
He played her what they have. I specifically asked if they were blues covers ..or for a blues covers album or was it a new studio album? She said 'no covers'. I then naturally asked her how it was....
Her answer: "Fantastic"
So... Your source is a random person on Twitter?
Ok then.

It is not 'my' source...
Possibly I shouldn't have mentioned it at all here?
Either way .. I'm simply relaying something I saw on IORR and then I conversed with the same person a bit about it and her experience (I wouldn't think she has any reason to lie about it being as it won't go viral etc).
There .. (IORR) folks happen to be much more obliged to talk about said album and much more open to opinions (mine.. and other peoples) ... with less negativity and personal jabs.
After all .. it is a 'RS message board' -
It wasn't a jab Ian. Don't kid yourself, the folks on IORR are just as cynical as folks on here or any other forum. Ive been posting there for 15 years. It's just way more strict over there.
The question is, why would you trust a random person on the internet who claims to have heard the brand new Stones album? People make up stuff like this all the time. It's almost a tradition! It literally happens every single time there is talk of a new tour or album! Surely you know that by now? It's not negativity. It's just incredibly easy to be cynical and snarky when it comes to this band nowadays. That's all.

What I'm saying is every time someone posts something here it gets shot down by 80% of the people .. or totally scoffed at .. ...
... just for the sake of shooting it down and scoffing at it? ...
... to the point where ya can't even post much here anymore without that situation occurring .. that aspect has gotten so out of hand here it's become ridiculous.
I didn't say it was for 'certain' .. I said I believed her .. This is what someone said is all. It could be dead wrong.
However this person 'does' know Don Was ... and this person isn't a standard RS fan wanting attention.
I figured it better to post it as a possibility and at least put it out there rather than not post or mention it at all ... right? ..
Whether it turns out to be spot on or complete bullocks ..
... again .. like I said .. and after all ...
>>this forum is a Rolling Stones message board and this thread is concerning any news about the new album ..
Not sure why I have to explain the post .. I'm simply relaying what I came across. I could be crazy .. but I kinda / sorta thought that's what this thread / message board was all about and that's what you are supposed to do?
.. Anyway .. .. ......
