The Lost Albums
I have been listening to a lot of Stevie lately and noticed that there is potential for two "Lost" Albums
After Wild Heart but before the actual release of Rock a Little she did a lot of recording. Rock a Little was a MESS when it came out. Too many Chefs in the Kitchen. What would Rock A Little Be if it had had only ONE producer? What songs were done and IN THE BAG before the departure of Jimmy and the push to change the sound of Rock a Little? What would those songs be?
Then Right after Enchanted tour Stevie went into the Studio with Sheryl Crow. What we got form those sessions are the BEST of TISL and also appeared on Practical Magic. What would that track sequence be? Notice that there are again TOO MANY CHEFS in the kitchen on TISL. There is such a wide range of SOUNDS. it goes from the organic later 1998 Sheryl Crow tracks to the electronica Early 2000's heavy handed programmed stuff. Clearly, two different albums. Could there be other tracks from in the preceding two years before TISL (starting with maybe the rumoured tracks recorded around the time of Free Falling) up till when Sheryl left? And then a totally different album with the other remaining songs including the outtakes like My Heart and "wall of sound" Thrown Down?
