Jack White and Keith Richards team up
Jack White has been living the fantasy of pretty much every guitar player. First he was in the documentary It Might Get Loud which showed him jamming with U2′s The Edge and Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page. Now, Rolling Stone is reporting that he has teamed up with the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards to record some songs together.
Keith recently talked to Rolling Stone and told them that the new Stones record could come out next year. “I’m trying to gather the boys together. One way or another, I’ll get them back in line.” As for the collaboration with Jack White? “I enjoy working with Jack,” Richards says. “We’ve done a couple of tracks.”
So a new Stones album plus the addition of Jack White? Will Jack have a hand in producing the new record? “I couldn’t fuel that rumor any more than to say Jack and I are in touch,” Richards said.
How does Jack White do it? Between starting his own label, starring in documentaries, playing in 400 bands and now teaming up with Keith Richards? He is one busy little bee. But do I want this to happen? Absolutely!

[...] If you were freaking out yesterday over the story that drummer Charlie Watts was quitting the Rolling Stones, you can put down the brown bag you were hyperventilating in. For those of you that don’t know, some small Australian music website started the rumor that Watts was quitting the iconic rock band yesterday. Several websites picked up the story until the band issued a statement that read the following: “Contrary to a fabricated story that ran this morning on a small music web site in Australia, drummer Charlie Watts has not left The Rolling Stones.” So you can relax. If anything, Charlie is gearing up to release a new Stones record next year if Keith Richards has anything to say about it. [...]
