The Rolling Stones’ new album is ‘in the can’

Keith Richards is divulging some details on the Rolling Stones’ new album. Richards recently told the Sun that the band’s upcoming LP is “in the can” and that “it might be a surprise to people, and I can’t say any more than that right now.”

Ron Wood also spoke about the new album in a separate interview with the Associated Press, saying the new tunes have a blues vibe.

“We went in to cut some new songs, which we did, but we got on a blues streak,” he said. “We cut 11 blues in two days. They are extremely great cover versions of Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walter, among other blues people. But they really sound authentic. When we heard them back after not hearing them for a couple of months, we were, ‘Who’s that? It’s you.’ It sounded so authentic.”

In other Stones news, “Exhibitionism” is in full swing. The first of its kind, “Exhibitionism” is a major exhibit about the Rolling Stones at London’s renowned Saatchi Gallery. The exhibit, which is Stones-approved, opened this week and offers an interactive glimpse into the legendary rock outfit’s 54-plus year career with nine themed sections taking over two floors of the gallery.

The exhibit packs more than 500 never-before-seen artifacts such as instruments, handwritten lyrics, posters, album art, diaries, costumes and more. It also offers previously unheard audio tracks and video clips.
