Rolling Stones to release new album in 2016

Accordin to guitarist Ron Wood, legendary British rockers The Rolling Stones will drop a new album this year. Wood, talking to "Associated Press" on April 4 (in London at the group's "Exhibitionism" exhibit at the city's Saatchi Gallery), said:

We went in to cut some new songs, which we did. But we got on a blues streak. 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.

So there are new tunes and some blues covers in the can. Woody also said that the album would tentatively arrive "this year".

Keith Richards, who attended the exhibit too, wasn't too willing to unveil any detail and he just said:

There's one coming," Richards admitted. "I can't say no more. My lips are sealed.
