Country ‘Rumours’ album – who would you like on it?

[greendaze5]

So it looks like there’s gonna be an upcoming ‘Rumours’ tribute by country artists.

Who would you like to be on it, and performing which songs?

I have a hunch Faith Hill and Tim McGraw will want to appear. They’re both known to be FM fans.

Maybe Keith Urban for ‘Go Your Own Way’?

[vivfox]

There's a possibility that when Mick said Stevie is recording a country version of Rumours he could have meant she is recording a solo album of country songs in the format of Rumours style songs. Not necessarily a Rumours re-release with country artists.

It's hard for me to believe that only stevie Nicks would be behind the production of a Rumours based product.

Just sayin'...

[ButterCookie]

Not Taylor Swift, that's for sure.

[bluefox4000]

Won't be buying if it happens........I DETEST country. My hate for it burns like a billion suns:nod:

Mick

[StreetAngel95]

hmm. i can stand a little Blake Shelton, Zac Brown Band, and of course, since we are talking about Stevie, we can assume Sheryl will be on it, right?

Well I think Keith should do Never Going Back Again because he does that in concert and I'd love to have that officially recorded for posterity.

WOULD LOVE TO BE ON THE ALBUM:
Iris Dement
Dolly Parton
Big Blue Hearts (who I think are influenced by Law and Order-era Lindsey)
Bekka Bramlett
Brad Paisley
Keith Urban
Ray Scott

Wouldn't mind at all:

Kenny Chesney
Dierks Bentley
Loretta Lynn
Gretchen Wilson
Some hot guy who did a lovely homage to MJ that was on YouTube (really good singer, but can't remember his name; don't own any of his work)
Miley Cyrus
Taylor Swift (note the order I put those two names--I'm LOOOVING Miley's new song; sue me)
and I know the kids are loving Lady Antebellum so I would be fine with that

And country-haters need to get real. You hate country but you love Bella Donna?

[ButterCookie]

Oh god. That would be something that would put me off too. And I like country! :lol:

[StreetAngel95]

Oh god. That would be something that would put me off too. And I like country! :lol:

i know right? But it's just an assumption, as Sheryl was on Say You Will....

[ButterCookie]

I'm not SYW's biggest fan. My favourite tracks are Bleed to Love her and Steal Your Heart Away. First person to get why gets a cookie!!

GASP!!!! seriously, you don't know what a snickerdoodle is? It's a cinnamon cookie - sooo good! But i'll settle, i'll settle...:lol:

Maybe he meant that, but that is not what he said...

"There will be another version of 'Rumous,' with some fairly well-known country artists,"

[mylittledemon]

I like what Little Big Town did w/ Buckingham on CMT Crossroads... so it's be nice to hear them do The Chain. :D

[Macfanforever]

As everyone on here knows I'm a country bumpkin,I think it's about time.like a Eagles Common Thread version or Themselves which I prefer.
Oh I would love to hear a country versions of Dreams and Golddust Woman,Don't Stop, The Chain, or the rest of the album sang on the Grand Ole Opry.I will fly there.

[gypsy4life]

Mick's info has been wrong before,so, I doubt this will happen.
However, if it does, what about Tanya Tucker? She did cross over to rock w/ her TNT album....and her cocaine addiction got her the title of "country music's Stevie Nicks", so, just sayin'!

[Cammie]

We made snickerdoodles in Girl Scouts !!!
Good memories!!! Delicious and easy to
throw together for the kids!!!:blob1:Cammie

[HejiraNYC]

Emmylou-lou

[AnthonyMI]

Hmm. If Dolly Parton was on it I could totally see her singing Gold Dust Woman the way she covered Soul Alylum's "Shine"

I'm with with you, Mick. Can't stand it....and I live in Texas...ugh...

[HomerMcvie]

What's with all this country hate? When I don't listen to FM, I mostly listen to country. Your musical palate is lacking dimension.

Until you've learned to love Bob Wills, you are truly missing out on some joyous music.


Now here you go, I see you, off to Google Bob Wills(and the Texas Playboys). Ahhh ha!

[TrueFaith77]

Emmylou-lou

omg i forgot to put emmylou on my list

[GypsySorcerer]

What's with all this country hate?

I know! I listen to a wide variety of music, country included. Like all genres, you have to shift through the bull ****, and ignore crap like Rascal Flatts. :laugh:

[Phil]

Emmylou Harris ("You Make Lovin' Fun")
Dolly Parton ("Oh Daddy" but she could sing just about anything - she'd be great on "Second Hand News" as well.)
Linda Ronstadt ("Silver Springs")
Iris Dement ("Never Going Back Again")
Patty Griffin ("The Chain")
Mary Chapin-Carpenter ("Songbird" or "Oh Daddy")
Sheryl Crow ("I Don't Want To Know")
Natalie Maines ("Gold Dust Woman" or "Silver Springs")
Julie Miller ("Dreams")
Rosanne Cash ("Go Your Own Way")
Martina McBride (could be okay with the right song -maybe "Second Hand News"?)

I would leave "Don't Stop" out of the equation - such a terrible song to begin with, covers only make it worse - Elton John anyone?

I'd like it to be an all female affair - none of those dirty old bastards need apply... :nod:

[Phil]

Sorry ButterCookie, I do adore Christine and I think her other three contributions to Rumours are all outstanding, but "Don't Stop" is a very basic song in my opinion, that was most definitely over-played (not her fault of course, but the result is undeniable). What I loved about "Oh Daddy" was further developed on her Tusk compositions - lovely all round just like the woman herself...

Country isn't the definition of musical diversity. I'll listen to anything except country (and rap). I think mostly it's the country twang that I can't stand..but really there's nothing about it I like. I have friends (naturally, living in Texas) that listen to a bunch of country...or even only country.....and on the few occasions when I've been stuck listening to their music it's been torture.

This is a horrid idea!!!! It turns my stomach simply to ponder it!!

The country Eagles tribute around the time of "Hell Freezes Over" was one thing. There was/is a country vibe to some of the Eagles music, but Fleetwood Mac? Not really.

There are a few Stevie songs here and there that could be re-worked to fit what you might possibly consider country music, but definitely not the entire "Rumours" album. That's just a joke and an insult in my opinion.

Can the idea before any tape and studio time is wasted.

Let any of you think I harbor some hatred toward country music, that would be horribly incorrect. Next to FM, my music library is full of more country artists than anything else. Examples: Willie Nelson (largest number of CD's in my collection next to FM), Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, (Nelson, Jennings, Cash and Kristofferson all as solo artists and as "The Highwaymen"), Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Sara Evans, Patsy Cline, just to name a few.

I was raised on country music basically. Thus my love for the blues.

I always felt that "Oh Daddy" (and "Lola") was the daddy of Tusk.

Also, thank you for mentioning Iris (interesting song choice). I hope Stevie has consulted you for your recommendations on this project.

SPEAKING OF: I realize this dashes my dream of the Pet Shop Boys doing a complete cover of the Rumours album (w/ Johnny Marr on guitar). :(

Oh my God, I'd die. I love Tanya Tucker. Love her. Love her. Love her. What do you think she'd sound good on, though? I've always liked her voice best on those slow country ballads, and other than Songbird (which would be a mess with Tanya), Rumours doesn't really lend itself to that.

[billwebster]

The country music I like is more of the variety of these:

Junior Brown
The Jayhawks
Lucinda Williams
The Flatlanders
Chris Hillman (with or without his Desert Rose Band)

These artists probably would be as bored as I at the thought of a Rumours covers album in country style.

It just doesn't fit. Can you imagine Stevie dressed in her signature style walking through a cowshed, getting all dirty and stuff? H*ll no, g*dd*** it ...

These days, cash cows live in cowsheds, hence the record labels come up with ideas such as this one. The outcome is urban country.

[Macfanforever]

I agree ,Belladonna would of got more country station airplay today if Stevie released it today.Sorry country haters. songs Leather and Lace and After the Glitter Fades would of streamrollered any of todays artists including Taylor and the other girls.yes I could see Stevie on the saturday Grand Ole Opry in Nashville singing "After The Glitter Fades" I will be there cheering her on.

[gypsy4life]

After consideration, and remembering her voice on the TNT album, I'm going to say Dreams. It's got the slow, drawn out sexiness of a good Tanya Tucker song!! I'd like to hear her singing...what you had, and what you lost....

TrueFaith, you've made me have to change my knickers!! I won't rest until Neil Tennant gets his hands on Stevie. When asked a few years ago whom he would like to work with, he's immediate response was Miss Nicks. It must happen at some point but I wish for it to be all original material, written by either Stevie herself or in collaboration with Neil and Chris. That said, I wouldn't object to her covering "Love Comes Quickly" or "Being Boring".
Just the thought of them creating together makes me all a-quiver!! Time for a sedative methinks...

Well, yes, THAT would be the ideal. Of course, despite that option for a collaborator, Miss Nicks chose: Dave Stewart.
