Gift of Screws CD Set for September 16, 2008 Release

[lbfan]

Per amazon.com. It's on the Warner label, so LB probably cut a deal for a new FM CD in exchange for a solo release/deal.Very few other details (no track listing yet).

[bucklind17]

Aww, the day before my birthday! Lindsey is giving me a gift of screws! If only he was on the right coast that week, har har har. Kidding.

I hope a tracklist surfaces sooooon. So curious!

[Nico]

YES!!!!!:blob2::blob1::]I'm so happy right now!!! New Lindsey tour, new album, *possibly* Twist of Fate. Thank you Linds!!!:xoxo: Woohoo!!

[Josh2003]

I can't believe that after all these years, that title is still sticking. I like it, I just figured that since it had been leaked so long ago, he might have come up with something else.

[Moz]

Oh my ****e. I hope this is for real and the release date won't be pushed back! :]:]:]

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Is Lindsey totally cluless about how many people have the GOS boot?

Anyway, totally excited, and totally hoping for Twist of Fate (!), new songs, and a new FM album next year. Looks like we're going into another great time to be a FM fan!

[TulsaMINI]

I love the title...and the title track is the one I listen to the loudest in the car. http://members.cox.net/tulsamini/rochard.gif

[TrueFaith77]

AAAAahhhhh I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[Betsy]

Thanks LBFAN for the news.

You people amaze me with your bloodhound internet searching instincts...

Shuffle Riff is my favorite on that set. I wonder what the *single* will be or if he will release one.

[Maccafan5000]

I second betsy about the bloodhound instincts of you ledgies. I love that I can come here and any new article/cd release/tv show/sets list/tour dates are ALWAYS posted.

Damn I'm excited about this release. Pretty cool that Stevie's soundstage DVD is being released exactly one week in advance (if nothing gets postponed, crosses fingers)

[michelej1]

With Lindsey's tour dates already out, the album can't be postponed too much. So glad to have it confirmed!

Good point! Quite a year to be a Mac fan, what with Live At The Bass Performance Hall, Soundstage, and now . . . Gift of Screws!

Amazon lists the price at $18.98 and describes it as 1 CD.

Looks like the Gift of Screws for her 23rd b-day! ha!

Gee, such an ironic date (For personal reasons) for that release.

Bout time! At least it's only a year late...

but...shouldn't the album be coming out BEFORE the tour starts? Kinda weird...

[Nico]

but...shouldn't the album be coming out BEFORE the tour starts? Kinda weird...

At this point, I'm just thrilled there is an album! I commend Lindsey for still having it in him, really. It's the same way I commended Paul McCartney for keeping it up enough to release something as gorgeous as Chaos and Creation in the Backyard and Bob Dylan for hisTime Out of Mind/Love and Theft/Modern Times trilogy, and Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris, shoot, any one of them that is still releasing quality stuff I can dig.

I may be the exception, but Under the Skin was really beautiful to me. I totally loved/love it and was so thrilled to see his show. I'm not as shocked the second time around, but I'm just about as excited. Plus, he may have Twist of Fate on there.:blob2::blob1: That calls for celebration.

I COMPLETELY agree. Every time someone who's been in the music industry for decades releases an album, I feel as though it's a gift.

Under the Skin, to me, was incredible.

If Twist of Fate were the only song on the new album, I'd still be stoked.

[michelej1]

You're far from the exception. Michele

Yes, i totally agree! We've got Stevie's Soundstage CD/DVD, then a week later Lindsey's brand new album, and then in a few months after that, the new Mac album and tour...i feel like it's late 2002 again!

I hope Stevie isn't too pissed about the fact that Lindsey's album is going to be released a week after hers. I guess Warner doesn't want to have them battle it out for the top spot on Billboard...but that would be sweet if they did release both albums on the same day!

WOOT!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

....And to the September 17 people I see made it here before me, lol... My birthday actually IS September 16, which is absolutely wicked!!!

Best. Present. Evar. Thanks, Liddy!!!

(Seriously, I'm grateful for FAR more than just this coming out on my birthday. This is....truly amazing. I'm completely blown away by all this...I never thought Under The Skin--which I, too, LOVED--would happen, much less a tour, much less meeting him... And now, another album, another tour which happens to hit my hometown randomly...it's all incredible to me.)

[AliceLover]

So the only songs from the original Gift of Screws are....

She Smiled Sweetly
Gotta Get Away
Shuffle Riff
Gift of Screws
Twist of Fate
The Singer Not the Song

If Lindsey released JUST these songs for his album, id be ecstatic, let alone the other new songs he has ready for us.

Question...Didn't a fan ask Lindsey about Twist of Fate recently and he had no clue what that was?

Also, who cares if Stevie's pissed?

Not saying anyone "cares", but she just likes all the attention on herself.

Yes indeed.

Then again, I'm sure that if someone asked him about his cover of "Big Yellow Taxi", he'd probably have no clue about that either.

[henryscutter]

Lindsey was the attention whore on the last mac tour and I would guess she doesnt care when his cd drops. I do though and I will be buying both cds.

[Peestie]

She Smiled Sweetly
Gotta Get Away
Shuffle Riff
Gift of Screws
Twist of Fate
The Singer Not the Song


I think all four of these songs will make the album unless he decided to hold a couple over since they have John and Mick on them.

Personally, I hope that if he releases all four of these that he has reworked them to fit in with the new songs because they have a pretty distinct production style that will make them stick out like sore thumbs.

[LukeA]

Not saying anyone "cares", but she just likes all the attention on herself.

No kidding.

She cleared ~$16M for the SYW tour, yet she still bitches to anyone who'll listen that it was too much of a "boys club". Well, apparently, it wasn't too much of a "boys club" for her to do it all again next year, in order to rake in another $10M or so.

Hmm - interesting. Thanks Tango for giving us the link.

It lists Peacekeeper and my boot doesn't have that song.

The boot I got was from Canada. It has a drawing of an ant on the front cover with LB floating-on-a-plastic-raft-holding-his-guitar-to-hide-his-privates on the inside.

The back cover says "mixed by LB in 2000-2001."

[gretchen]

EEEEEEEEEE! Thanks Linds!!!!!!!!

[billwebster]

It's good to hear that there is something going on regarding the release of the "rock album".
The title "Gift Of Screws" is all over the internet already, and has been there for years, so what better promotion can you get? It's only logical that they release it under that name.
I can't wait ... :blob2:

[alexandmaddie]

The "Gift of Screws" release date is now posted on LB's website.


Krista

[gldstwmn]

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Is Lindsey totally cluless about how many people have the GOS boot?



He might be. He might be one of FM's non computer types.

[gldstwmn]

Amazon lists the price at $18.98 and describes it as 1 CD.

Damn! But you can fit a lot of tracks on 1 CD.

[TrueFaith77]

He might be. He might be one of FM's non computer types.

That never hit me. Perhaps more "casual" music fans who had heard of GOS and, therefore, found a bootleg might not appreciate that this will be a very different album. . . and, therefore, not purchase the new one. hmmmm..... Hopefully reviewers/press will make the distinction clear.

[MacMan]

No kidding.

Purely speculative.

This is cool I can't wait for the new cd.....I do hope it rocks better than UTS though...its ok but my favorite still is OFTC.....so if the new one can get better markings than that cd....it'll be great......:blob2:

They can't because Stevie's prolific "mad songwriter" abilities have been somehow transmitted to Lindsey.

[bucklind17]

Aaaah, I love that more than I should, seriously.

[TrueFaith77]

Aaaah, I love that more than I should, seriously.

Lindsey has totally gotten carried away with the hand held camera thing.

Now seeing the front, just makes me want the setlist even worse! Can't wait.

Michele

Purely speculative.

You haven't seen the numbers.

[MacMan]

You haven't seen the numbers.

Numbers for what?... Here pay stub, contract/agreement, or the Tour Gross for 03/04?

[Regina]

Not too fond of the cover, but it's very Lindsey.

I don't really care if it would be in a brown paper box (although that would be a crime), it's THE long-awaited Gift of Screws!

Amazing. The man takes a long time to deliver on his promises, but he does come through.

I agree, the cover doesn't really matter, but SHEESH! The face reminds me of one of his "It Was You" shots! :laugh: Still: in TWO YEARS, TWO albums, TWO DVDs, TWO SOLO TOURS. It's all good. And then Fleetwood Mac right around the corner. Where are all the Lindsey ladies of yester-year that were waiting and WAITING for ANYTHING from Lindsey?

[D.W-Suite]

Eh, once again I must say that I'm quite disappointed by the album cover, Lindsey never has had much imagination with them..:distress:

[#1LiddyBuckFan]

yeah, I like it too...can't wait for a track list!!

Seriously, I will weep uncontrollably if Shuffle Riff and Twist of Fate do not appear. :o Though I think we might have to wait until the actual release to know for sure. He probably changed the track titles...

[TulsaMINI]

I quite like it. I like the simplicity and the pop of red in the typography. I would bet there's a lot on the inside and it would most likely be a non-plastic case. Could be very cool.

I can't freaking wait!!!

That was a good one Brian!

Now, my first thought was:

"Kristen has a shaky hand when she takes photos."

....but I like your comment much better.

(Put me in the column for -- I don't care much for the cover.)

P.S. Thanks Macman for snooping that new cover out. I hope that I can count on you for audio files in the future... You seem to be extremely good at that, and I, for one, am very grateful.

[DavidMn]

I actually really like the cover.:woohoo:

[michelej1]

"Kristen has a shaky hand when she takes photos."

From the angle, I thought Lindsey took the picture himself. I believe he and the camera have grown into a public nuisance. Very shortly, an intervention will have to take place. Sorrowful little children pleading, "Please dad, just take your hands off the flash. . ."

I don't like the shot aesthetically, but I like Lindsey and Lindsey is often silly, so . . . I'm pretty happy.

Even if the album has nothing but Gift of Screws songs on it, if he actually finished all of them, that would be enough. Deep Dense, Given Thing and Wear You Down. That's enough for me.

Michele

[Betsy]

When I wear my black UTS Tour T-shirt to the gym, I often get asked if Lindsey is Keith Richards.

I never saw the resemblance but in that photo where he's playing the guitar, he does kinda resemble Keith...

[gretchen]

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a123/nickslive/GiftOfScrewsCover.jpg

beautiful.

[lbfan]

GOS Cover reminds me of the FM Live photo of Lindsey (plus 29 years).

[Regina]

When I wear my back UTS Tour T-shirt to the gym, I often get asked if Lindsey is Keith Richards.

I never saw the resemblance but in that photo where he's playing the guitar, he does kinda resemble Keith...

Yikes (I'm yikes-ing at the thought, not because I see the resemblance).
Maybe it's so horrifying a thought, because I did see KR in person once and...I've been traumatized and using moisturizer by the bucket ever since...

I would think that thought alone would get LB to stop being so morose on these covers.

[wondergirl9847]

The cover is kinda...odd, but I don't care, as long as we get amazing music!!

PLEASE let there be tons of music we've not heard yet. I love Twist of Fate and all those other songs, but I hope we get more songs we've never heard. :)

When I showed her my UTS keychain, my friend said the very same thing to me.

[michelej1]

If you squint when you look at it, the picture clears up.


Michele

[ajmccarrell]

I think the photography on Under the Skin was horrific in places, like that badly pixelated picture on the inside cover. I asked my wife, who also does photography and she said it was an odd setup for the camera on this latest cover. It was very deliberately blurry. I don't get it!

I would think GOS deserves a wacky cover like that one with the car stuck in the tree because some of the sound is just plain wacko! In a good way!!! :D

[Betsy]

Well, unlike Stevie who's all Leather and Lace (haha), Lindsey does things in a very raw and natural form, so this album cover is the epitome of that. And to be honest...i like it! :thumbsup:

[michelej1]

. It was very deliberately blurry. I don't get it!

Even after all these years, I can’t even see you clear.

Michele

[JbbyStew86]

Im a fan of both the recent album covers. I thought live at bass was great for a live lindsey cover, but wouldnt be good for an album cover. look at out of the cradle, add twenty six years (dear god) and you've got the same cover. or out of the cradle. anyone seeing a pattern here???

Wait, it hasn't been 26 years since OOTC. I'd hate to FF through a whole decade.

Michele

[henryscutter]

That photo reminds me of how clinically depressed he looked in the "show you how" video. Hopefully it gets replaced before the release date.

[Nico]

I'm not bothered by the cover. Just a pic of Lindsey looking sort of sad and constipated, which is nothing new and something I've come to expect. He looks that way throughout those UTS videos and on the cover of the last studio album and in a LOT of promo shots for the past 5 or so years.

Yes, it ages him. Yes, he's sooo much more attractive and youthful when you can see his teeth (like that famous picture with the kids), but it is what it is. The art speaks for itself. Picasso isn't being remembered for his face.

That cover!! Heavens above, I hope thats not it.:distress:
As for whatever music we get, I'd be more than happy with our leaked GOS songs, every single one, even in the raw state we got them originally...they were great, love them, as is...

[Richard B]

That picture certainly works with the album title.
He looks pissed off and seems to be saying 'fuk you, fuk off'
all in a haze of angry blur.

I love it. Hope the album is just as promising.

:laugh:I was thinking the same its very in your face its like he's saying "HEY YOU THERE HERE IS YOUR DAMN GIFT OF SCREWS THAT TOOK LONGER THAN CHINESE DEMOCRACY TO COME OUT AND I TRIKED YOU BOOTLEGERS BY CHANGING SOME OF THE TITLES AND ADDING NEW STUFF NOW SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO IT!!!!!"

[michelej1]

:laugh:I was thinking the same its very in your face "HEY YOU THERE HERE IS YOUR DAMN GIFT OF SCREWS THAT TOOK LONGER THAN CHINESE DEMOCRACY TO COME OUT NOW SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO IT!!!!!"

That's funny. Because Lindsey knows we have asked about it so long. He even said something along the lines of, 'I'm not sure that was actually going to be the title. It was one of them.' I don't have the quote. But it was something like that, that made me want to shake him. So, yes, I do think calling it Gift of Screws is sort of like saying, "happy now?"

People were saying that we had to have the song Gift of Screws, since that's the album title, but really there's no song called Rumours, so we didn't have to have it. It could just be Lindsey's nod to the 10 years we suffered through. Hmmm, I see that sexy Mirage version of NTF in my head: Don't make me wait.

But it's different because we know he has a song called Gift of Screws so if that's what he's calling the album then there's a 99% chance that the song would be on the album. Of course we now know that it is on the album.

Very cool news!! I know a second album was mentioned after Under the Skin was released but had no idea it was actually going to happen! What's up with that cover shot?
