All this is pure speculation ... but it 'appears' The Stones will resume 'performing live' activity in October. I'd expect the new album to come out right around that same time.
They are talking about playing a the big music festival known as Coachella on October 7th. I'd expect their own set of shows to be in planning to occur right around the same time ....with the release of the album to coincide with that
... This is all and only based because if they are to be performing live around October... I'd say almost ...'positively'... the album would surely be out / released at that same time.

Here is what we know for certain...
1. There is a brand new studio album in the works
2. They first got together to officially work on it in December of last year.
3. They cut a few new songs in December and several blues covers (none of the blues covers are certain to make it to the album).

Strong evidence:
- They are working on it on and off as we speak ..most likely in London (per Keith)
- It is to be released later this year
- Release time frame is this fall.. most likely October / November.

Pure speculation:
It is an album consisting of mostly Blues covers
The Producer? (nobody knows who it is).
That is where we are. It's the straight dope -
