Producer Don Was in Le Figaro (of all places): “The album consists of covers of blues songs of Chicago. It was recorded live in the studio in just three days, with the musicians in a circle around the microphones. There was no retouching on the pieces... The record sounds very crude, very authentic. It captures the essence of what [the Stones] are.”

It's been painful watching and listening to the Stones over the past few years but maybe this will be small and OK, maybe just the right project to sing them off the stage and into retirement.

Release date: December 2 2016.

[UPDATE DEC 2 2016: Oh well……….]
