If you thought that the Rolling Stones were close to being done, you would be incorrect. Maybe the band tours in 2027, but they could be dropping a new album then, too. This would come a year after the band dropped Foreign Tongues, which was quite good.
According to saxophonist Courtney Pines on BBC's Private Passions, he did a studio session with the Stones very recently. Unless the BBC recorded the Pines interview months ago and just released it in October (which is possible), Pines' admission of a session implies the Stones are already back at it.
That would make sense, as Mick Jagger said that the band already had enough material for more than one album when Foreign Tongues was recorded. Ultimately, and realistically, the Stones making albums in quick succession would make sense. Jagger and Keith Richards aren't getting younger, so why not push through a few albums?
Rolling Stones appear to be back in the studio (thankfully)
That isn't meant as a slight or to be disrespectful in any way. Heck, most bands would never be able to produce an album as good as the Stones' latest. The safe assumption is that the next record from the band and the next 10, should they release that many, would still be good.
Jagger, Richards, Ron Wood, and the rest of the group aren't likely to waste their time setting up in a studio, making new music, but having that not be good. If anything, the Rolling Stones have been making music for six decades, and almost all of that has been very good. Some might not have been better than older albums, but one would only be comparing the Stones to what they used to do.
That is obviously unfair. If Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were to make a new Beatles album, one shouldn't compare it to Revolver, for instance. Instead, the comparison should be any new record compared to what other music is being produced at the time.
The Stones make organic excellence that is well produced, well played, and mostly very good. No one can really ask for more, and if there is a new album soon, possibly in coordination with a new tour, then we should simply be grateful for it.
