Mick working on solo album !
Mar 2^nd, 2011 at 11:56pm

Looks like i'm the first to have caught this...a bit of a shock, but Keith had it coming didn't he, what with his cheap comments in his autobiography and lack of musical creativity since...VL pretty much...Dave Stewart doesn't strike me as the best possible musical partner, but I suppose Mick feels comfortable with him. The Alfie soundtrack wasn't too bad and Mick stole the "Oh No Not You Again" title from one of his old songs...and LINDied was supposedly worked on during the Alfie sessions.

Quote:

olling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is reportedly hard at work on a record with producer Dave Stewart in Los Angeles -- or so says Jagger's baby brother, Chris.

In an interview airing yesterday (Mar. 1) with a Portuguese TV station, during which Chris discussed his own music career, the lesser-known of the Jagger brothers mentioned that Mick does his best to keep in touch. "He's doing a record at the moment in Los Angeles with Dave Stewart," Chris Jagger mentioned. "He called me last night telling me what he was doing." Watch Chris' interview below.

The album would be Jagger's first solo effort since 2001's "Goddess in the Doorway," but it would not be the first time the rocker frontman has collaborated with Dave Stewart. The producer, who first made his name as one half of the Eurythmics, co-wrote several songs on Jagger's 1987 solo album, "Primitive Cool." The two collaborated again in 2004 for three original songs that appeared on the soundtrack of the "Alfie" remake.

The news coincides with tweets last week from Roots drummer Questlove, who reported he was in a New York studio with Jagger, but did not specify on what they were working.

Stewart has his own album, titled "The Blackbird Diaries," coming this spring, and worked as a producer with both Stevie Nicks and Joss Stone on their upcoming albums. Jagger's last high-profile outing was at the 2011 Grammy Awards last month, where he performed a tribute to Solomon Burke.

Reply #2 - Mar 3^rd, 2011 at 3:51am Jagger knew exactly what to answer about Keith's book, the best way to make scream keith is releasing a record. Again, jagger is encouraged by his last performance at the Grammys. Keith must do his own ?

It has been many years since I saw him play one end to end on a single song...my guess is that his playing days have ended.

Looking forward to some 'new MICK' with or without the Stones. Good for MICK, it's payback time for KEEF!

Reply #28 - Mar 3^rd, 2011 at 8:58pm I think Keith is a spent creative force, the last time he had any energy for new music was...18 years ago when they wrote VL. Actually he was still OK in 1996/1997 judging by the numerous (unavailable) unreleased tracks he got credit for (Karnbach book), since then he's been all but dried up oddly enough.
