Then she did In Your Dreams and 24 K G but is back to "whoa is me, nobody buys my albums, whaaaaa, I'm alone, boohoo, all my friends are dying, sad angel" schtick. She's wasting time AGAIN. If history repeats itself we will get another Stevie solo album in 2024.
I am happy that MCVie and buckingham have gotten comfortable and continued their output. LB is insane. His output last decade was 1000% higher than anything before. Fatherhood and Family has been good for him. Stevie lives in the past. How many songs will we have to endure of Tom Petty telling her to Write Her Songs Herself and NOT By that friggen Doll? Girl... i love you, but you need to MOVE ON.
Anyhow, yes. the music is great. And the Box Sets, even Stevie's have been GREAT for diving back in and rediscovering the music. I am VERY MUCH looking forward to Rock a Little and hopefully Other Side of the Mirror box sets. There should be a whole second album worth of outtakes on Rock A Little, and even though Other Side of the Mirror era had some real DUDS like The Tragedy of Ones Own Soul and Lilly Girl, there should be some good covers like "Cry Wolf" that were recorded and attempted for that album.

I'd LOVE deluxe versions of RAL & OSOTM-but do you really think we'll see them? Sadly, I don't. All focus has been on the first 2 albums for years. Imagine the responseif Stevie opened a concert with Talk To Me (I think Waddy suggested this recently) or Rooms On Fire! But we all know it will never happen. Stevie acts like those albums never happened.
