Keith Richards Insists Solo Record Is Just A Side Project

The Rolling Stones are reportedly moving ahead with a feature film about the band's history, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood said to have signed an agreement with US production company 101 Studios.

The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has returned to the concert stage for the first time in six years, performing two intimate solo shows in Austria and Italy while revisiting music from every major chapter of his career with The Rolling Stones, Faces, the Jeff Beck Group and his solo catalogue.

The Rolling Stones have made “Bad Luck Hideaway” available as a bonus track from the Foreign Tongues era, giving fans access to a previously unavailable recording featuring the songwriting partnership of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has offered a revealing assessment of some of rock's most celebrated drummers, praising Charlie Watts and Ringo Starr for their musical intelligence while arguing that the explosive styles of Keith Moon and John Bonham were not always suited to every musical situation.

The Rolling Stones have revisited Amy Winehouse's landmark song You Know I'm No Good, connecting one of the most influential bands in rock history with one of the defining voices of 21st century soul.

The Rolling Stones have spent more than six decades rewriting the rules of rock music. With Foreign Tongues, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood have delivered another reminder that longevity means little without creativity, and creativity is something this band still possesses in abundance.

With The Rolling Stones set to release Foreign Tongues on Friday, 11 July, there is no better time to revisit the five albums that shaped the band's greatest creative era. From Beggars Banquet to Some Girls, these records defined modern rock music and remain the benchmark against which every new Stones release is measured.
