'The door is wide open,' says the Stones guitarist, who has previously recorded music with the former White Stripes man

The Rolling Stones' next album could be produced by Jack White. "[It's] always a possibility," Keith Richards told Rolling Stone magazine. "The door is wide open."
Next month, the Stones will convene in London to discuss plans for recording a new album and a possible 2013 tour. Although this year marks the group's 50th anniversary, the celebrations have been modest: the band spent just a week rehearsing together in April. "We hadn't done it for a while, five years or something," Richards said. "I thought I'd be quite rusty … but it sounded as fresh as you could hope for."
In studios in New York and Weehawken, New Jersey, the Stones played tunes such as Beast of Burden, Gimme Shelter and "everything, really", Richards said. "It was like playing in the garage, a maintenance check, you know?" But the band's next challenge is to work out whether they can write some new material. "We're going to talk about that in July," he explained. "I'd love to get some tracks down and see what songs we've got."
Asked about working with White, Richards seemed enthusiastic. The Stones played with the White Stripes in 2002, and the two guitarists recorded together in 2009. That music has still never been released. "I don't know if [Jack] ever considered that it was actually, like, master cuts," Richards said. "But at the same time if Jack wanted to [release them], I'd probably say, 'Yeah.'"
White has previously produced albums for Wanda Jackson and Loretta Lynn. And his label, Third Man, has released singles by artists including Beck, Insane Clown Posse and Laura Marling.
