The Rolling Stones in Phoenix: raw, scrappy and unpolished in concert. And that's how it should be

The Best Rolling Stones Songs That Don’t Really Sound Like the Rolling Stones | Pitchfork

Ten times they transcended their blues-rock traditions

No. They they aren't. But the basic point of this is true. Being the second greatest band in rock n roll history is still not bad!

"The truth is, the Stones could be every bit as musically adventurous as the Beatles. But their experiments remained just that—brief trial runs that never fundamentally altered their DNA. Anytime they’ve strayed from their base to explore more au courant sounds, they’ve always been sure to hedge their bets by counterbalancing their albums with songs that reassure us how much they still love rockin’. Even their most atypical genre exercises rarely break free from traditional verse/chorus/verse schematics. The Stones are essentially like those foodies who are eager to Instagram the most exotic dish at their neighborhood’s new poke bar, only to hit up the McDonald’s drive-thru on the way home."

Rolling Stones to keep on touring as Keith Richards tells pals “I want to do more” - Mirror Online

The idea that the Stones can keep doing this should sound crazy. But, I saw Jack Jones over the weekend. He is 80 and still does his thing REALLY well. His voice, stage presence, and command of the lyrics were the same as they always have been. So why should he stop? The same with The Stones!

Rolling Stones in “the early stages” of new studio album

Keith Richards says work on their new studio album has begun - as Rolling Stones add extra London date in May

Yeah baby. The last album was EXCELLENT. Personally, I wish that they would do a few more blues covers albums because The Stones don't do the typical worn out cliched blues thing. They are such connoisseurs that the material is music that most people have never been exposed to. Anyway, this is good news!
