It did happen. I posted links to photos of the September mixing sessions on October 1st and there was even a title of a Gregory Isaacs song mentioned
http://rocksoff.org/cgi-bin/messageboard/YaBB.pl?num=1380585941/0But yeah, maybe I'm 'mis-informed' and just imagined it.
PS - I never said or suggested he's been working on a solo album five years ago or for the last five years. You're twisting this into something you wish to believe. By his own admission he barely touched a guitar after the ABB tour for a few years afterwards.
PPS - The Stones took six months off the road after Hyde Park. They're not in the middle of a tour. They're in a cycle of mini tours with no designated 'ending' and so the whole studio record/tour/hiatus bollocks is irrelevant.
PPPS - He's not going to be promoting a solo record if he's on the road with the Stones. Which, had it not been for recent tragic events would have taken up most of the first half of this year. No, I dont think he'll tour to do so when it comes out. What I meant was a short burst of promotional work, such as TV appearances, interviews and the like.

I never said you imagined it or were ms-informed. In fact, I remember, wasn't a hip-hop artist of some sort who first blew the whistle? (or was that on Mick)
What I am saying is I do't think they mixed the whole darn thing and have it ready to go. They might of toyed around with a mix or two.. but I can't see mixing the entire album to leave it sit for a couple years? Never heard of any Stone doing that with or without the band.. nor do most artists.
Sure .. not saying they didn't work on a mix or so.. but in honesty.. it seems like it wasn't actually selecting and mixing all the songs having them ready for a release when it calls for it.
Never said you said it started five years ago .. <I> did. He was doing songs in his basement for a while wasn't he? Didn't we hear he said that and in that hes not sure what to do with em.. possibly a solo jaunt if The Stones don't want them? that was how long ago now? four or five years right?
Again.. Stones album or no Stones album .. I sure am not holding my breath for Keith's solo release.
(I agree in the TV appearances..interviews etc. to promote it now.. not gonna be able to tour on his own,,, or even do whole shows on his own IMO.. ).
**Btw ... they mixed "a" song... <one> song... the article stated... (and a cover at that). That is what we know. This notion of mixing the record is stretching what we know for sure. Like I said ...not gonna hold my breath for The "supposed" Keith solo album.. I suggest you and everyone else follow this advice.
