Songs From The Vault Volume 2

[gldstwmn]

What's on it? Stevie has said she would like to include City of Hope. I love that idea.
I'd also like to see Beautiful Ghost, Forsaken Love and the live version of Love Is.

When did she say that??

[gldstwmn]

When did she say that??
I think it was in the Rolling Stone interview.

[welcomechris]

I think it was in the Rolling Stone interview.

Oh wow! I'd love to hear that.

Stevie dear, how about Fleetwood Mac first

[SisterNightroad]

Didn't she already say during the facebook Q&A that she had Julia ready from the Vol1 sessions?

[olive]

add it to the list of THINGS STEVIE SAID ( should be on jeopardy )

[BlueLight]

Didn't she already say during the facebook Q&A that she had Julia ready from the Vol1 sessions?

She said that Julia was among the songs she brought to Nashville. She didn't say that it's "ready," but she did say that she loves the song, and that it will be on the next album.

She also mentioned a "song about the Kennedys." :rolleyes:

Isn't that question little ahead of time? She just mentioned she is considering it. While she has some songs in mind, it's doubtful she made any decisions. We can only speculate our heads off, much like we did before.

Beautiful Ghost and City of Hope are certainly contenders. Space Needle is an epic and haunted song, which could be stunning with some editing and a new arrangement. Baby Doll is one of my favorites. The Three Birds of Rhiannon could be amazing, given a major rehab.

Great minds think alike my friend!The demo of Space Needle is a favorite of mine as is but I am interested in hearing a revised version developed in retrospect of the rehab days and also from a perspective based on wisdom and maturity.

I just think Dave Grohl/Butch Vig should produce it. the mood of the song is much closer to grunge than the rock/pop/tech/country vibe that DS seems to put her songs

[bombaysaffires]

Beautiful Ghost as it stands sounds too coked out so it could be interesting to hear it redone… but doesn't it just rehash most of the lyrics from Mabel Normand starting about a third of the way in all til the end?
all the 'back to the house that held nothing but waiting for messages' onward??

(digging thru my demos now……)


Disregard……I was thinking of All the King's Men. Sigh. Old age takes its toll. :(

[BlueDenimLamp]

Might work...Isn't "Space Needle" supposed to have a "Nirvana" connection?

Yes but look at how well "Mable Normand" turned out. Stevie used to say LB knew what to do with her demos but maybe after all these years Stevie herself is the one who now knows what to do with these demos.

[APerfectLie]

I have to say, I've been listening to a lot of In Your Dreams lately and I really want new Stevie songs because IYD was just so great. That being said, if she does do volume 2, it better have Joan of Arc, Christian, and China Doll on it! Also, I love City of Hope almost as much as I love Mabel Normand so I am hella excited that she mentioned it!

[Artemis]

The only "vault songs" left that I think I'd like to see the light of day are At The Fair, Joan of Arc, Julia and Space Needle.

Possibly Call On Me For Magic (if she can beat that vocal... which I doubt).

I think I'd prefer new stuff now though. 24 Karat Gold felt like she was sweeping the vault empty - ready to move forward perhaps?

[PenguinHead]

Wow! You are so right on about that! He's the right guy to take the song where it needs to go.

I agree that she should move on to something new; she dwells way too much in the past of what was, in direct opposition to what can be. Artists typically move forward. Still, it would be nice for one more more volume, since it can be cranked out in record time.

[johnnystorms]

just a thought! Butch Vig did some incredible work with Garbage... check out "Milk". that should be the aural soundscape for Space Needle

Didn't 24 karat Gold teach you anything about songs you'd like to see the light of day? It doesn't matter how much you like her demos, they can change into something unexpected in officially released form. Mable Normand was a song i didn't think id like to see the light of day and it's now my favorite stevie nicks solo song behind only edge of 17!

So in addition to the demos I love already ( space needle, you like me, baby doll, mistaken love, Joan of arc and Julia) the list of her unreleased demos that we know of is still about 20 to 30 songs. So I think saying 24kg swept the vaults clean is inaccurate. I think a 2nd volume would officially sweep the vault clean of anything worth releasing.

And remember 24 kg gave every fan at least 2 songs that no one had ever heard ( I don't care and Hard Advice). So there's always a chance there are more unheard demos. And I would absolutely not mind if she feels another one of her soundtrack songs are deserving of being re recorded (battle of the dragon blue lamp etc.) just not more then one.

[Macfanforever]

I cant wait for this to happen.Hope for a tour to promote both of them.

I would not mind seeing a Mac from the vault too..

[sorcerer999]

That being said, if she does do volume 2, it better have Joan of Arc, Christian, and China Doll on it!

Agreed!!! Give me those three plus "Night Gallery" and I'll be a happy camper! The demo of "Night Gallery" is pretty much a RAL era "hot mess", just like the demo of "Mabel", but can you imagine what they could do with it? The lyrics and the synth riff alone make it gold!

Ditto. 24KG feels like she did a huge chunk of Spring cleaning...and Part 2 will be like she's finishing the job. She knows there are at least 10-15 more "classic" and "brilliant" demos that still need to "go out to the world", otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned "Julia" or "City Of Hope" in previous interviews...or even mentioned a Songs From the Vault Part 2 in general...she knows this will most likely be her next project, seeing how easy it was to record and put together the first one.

But yeah, after Part 2, PLEASE STEVIE, go back to recording new material and let the demos lie fallow...at least for the majority. One or two old demos out of a 12 songs isn't that bad, but at least make the majority of them new or newer, written in the last 5 years at least. I think a SFTV Part 3 would be pushing it...and scraping the bottom of the "demo barrel" in my opinion.

Sadly, this is all wishful thinking. I think Stevie will record SFTV Part 2 and then call it quits with the solo career, although I HOPE I'm wrong! :shrug:

[gldstwmn]

I think a finished modern day version of Night Gallery could be quite stunning.
I also think you guys are way underestimating the amount of demos she actually has.
I'd also like to hear a finished version of Mix Down.

[sorcerer999]

I also think you guys are way underestimating the amount of demos she actually has.

Oh, I know she's got TONS of demos...I'm sure many of which that never got stolen and circulated among us fans ("Hard Advice", the song about "The Kennedy's", etc)...

...but I do think over half the demos out there that HAVE been circulating, are not very good. I went thru a list of her demos a few months ago and could really only pick out 20 of the 40+ circulated demos in existence that really have potential. The rest is just awful. Of course, this is only just my opinion...

...but that's what I mean when I say that a SFTV Part 3 might just be scraping the bottom of the demo barrel, but who knows...she took both "Mabel" and "Starshine" (two of my least fave demos) and made them wonderful, so maybe she could do the same thing with "the bottom of the barrel"? :lol:

[PenguinHead]

Mable Normand was a song i didn't think id like to see the light of day and it's now my favorite stevie nicks solo song behind only edge of 17!



Mable Normand, the most startling demo to be recorded for 24 Karat Gold, went from stank to rank as one of Stevie's most notable songs in her catalog. The lyrics make more sense, telling a story, the more you listen to the song.

I don't understand the beef some have about the album for being old songs/demos. The most familiar dig is something like "they are old, and were left of f albums for a reason," inferring inferiority. That's just negative ignorance.

Artists of all types might typically collect a body of work - sketches, pieces, and things aren't released in the market. They may borrow parts of them for new creations, or revisit them at a later time. That's is exactly what Stevie did with this album. Had all those demos never circulated, no one would know the difference.

I imagine that Stevie must have some newer demos that we know nothing about. If she produced and released them on a new album, why would it matter if they've been sitting around for ten or so years?

I'm still playing the album frequently, and appreciating all of it. It's a shiny gem in her collection, full of many different facets.

Yes. And look how popular Moonlight is from IYD.

[jcalzaretta]

I am hoping for Julia, Sanctuary, Forest of the Black Roses, and Space Needle.

[TimeCastASpell]

Space Needle for me too. I need to go listen to more demos, only actually have a few in my collection and otherwise browse YouTube from time to time. Mixed feelings though, while I love Mabel Normand like everyone else I'm so bummed on what happened with The Dealer. I far prefer any of the 3-4 demos I have, such a jazzy fun feeling and then the 24KG has a bizarre country vibe... Ugh. Personally have mixed feelings on Moonlight for that matter, love a lot of the words, relate to it even, but less fond of all the "strange" repetition... But I may be alone...

I think the problem with demos we are familiar with is much like cover songs, I think you're just naturally predisposed to prefer the first version you've heard especially if you really like the song. I mean I can even think of, using the cover example, several covers I prefer to the original because I heard the cover first (not always the case but still). Only legit example of knowing and liking an original then proffering the cover would be Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt"... So that's my thoughts... It can very much go either way. And Stevie's voice is considerably different, I ove both young Stevie and more current Stevie but they're distinct sounds and eh... I don't totally know how to explain what I'm trying to get at here.

I would love a redecorating of Battle of the Dragon. I really love the 24KG version of Twisted. It's definitely in my top three or so on the album.

I lean more towards wanting new stuff. Or a blend. I adore IYD (bizarrely I was less fond of it in the beginning, maybe 24KG will continue to grow on me too but currently while 24KG is nice enough, I largely prefer IYD and TISL, at least as a complete package.)

Also I totally second the suggestion of a Mac Vault album.

[Machu]

I hope she throws a couple new songs on there. A new song is still a "vault" song if it hasn't been released. :nod:

imo, some ideal choices to be considered would be:

Julia
Chanel, Chanel (take 2 demo is the best)
Forest of the Black Roses
China Doll
Gold & Braid
Forsaken Love
All The King's Horses (I KNOW there's a great song in there though she'd have to work it out a little)
Cecelia (Same as above, I know there's a great song in there)
Melacine (LOL another "incomplete" song but I know it would be great finished)
Castaway
Christian
Maker of Birds / Three Birds of Rhainnon
Anybody Out There
Space Needle
City of Hope

I agree Starshine and 24K were bad demos and they turned them into great listens. 24K is a great album.

I would like to see all the Rhiannon songs, plus Night Gallery, Julie, Love You Enough, Baby Doll, China Doll… on the next one.

[PenguinHead]

She also mentioned a "song about the Kennedys." :rolleyes:

Oh no, another topical song! It's fun to imagine how she would insinuate herself into the lyric, somehow associating her life with the Kennedy legacy.

[gldstwmn]

Possibly Call On Me For Magic (if she can beat that vocal... which I doubt).



The song is so out of character for her it wouldn't fit with any of the other songs unless she decided to do an album of standards. That would be interesting and at this point I can honestly say anything is possible.

[gldstwmn]

Oh no, another topical song! It's fun to imagine how she would insinuate herself into the lyric, somehow associating her life with the Kennedy legacy.

Anyone who lived through that time can associate with Camelot...

[welcomechris]

Here is the interview btw

Q: 24 Karat Gold could easily have a Part 2 or 3 because of the number of demos you have. What would you include on it?

A: I think that this is one of the best records I’ve ever made. So I can’t just let this record go. When the Fleetwood Mac tour is over, I might go straight back to Nashville and record eight or nine songs, and Warner Brothers can take it and repackage the album. I have another 10 demos. There’s a song that’s called City of Hope that I love that needs to go out because that’s [the name of the California-based hospital] Robin was in. I spent a lot of time driving through the big sign that says “City of Hope” when there was no hope. With a bottle of brandy and a gram of cocaine, thinking, “Please God, don’t let her die.”

Q: You also have a song about JFK. Is it on your list of possibilities to record for the second volume of 24 Karat Gold?

A: I’ll probably do that, too. It’s called The Kennedys. That was about a strange dream I had about meeting the Kennedy men, at a cocktail party benefit in the Hamptons. I went in to play the piano and sing [for the party] and Martin Luther King walked me down the hallway. It has this amazing part that I just think would fit with the world right now: “Please God, show them the way. Please God, on this day. Spirits all gather round. Peace will come if you really want it. Peace will come if you fight harder. I think we’re just in time to save it.” I’m ready for Jack Kennedy’s dreams. I’m ready for there to be somebody leading the country that somehow puts some kind of a respect and charisma into things … basically the same thing that Clinton had.

I cringed when she first talked about this and I cringe reading it here.

This has embarrassing written all over it. :sorry:

[DauphineMarie]

... I hope she sticks with City of Hope omg.

[PenguinHead]

I cringed when she first talked about this and I cringe reading it here.

This has embarrassing written all over it. :sorry:

It sure does! However,I have a twisted obsession with the songs she writes that have reference real people and events-- Greta, Desert Angel, Jane, and Battle of the Dragon come to mind. Instead of becoming signature anthems closely associated with their subject matter, they just end up being unique or peculiar obscure editions to her song catalog.

Naming a song about the Kennedys 'The Kennedys" is blatantly lazy and not very creative. Camelot is a better song title. She talks a lot about things that are never realized. I hope this song gets developed and released. I don't expect it to be a masterpiece, but it would be oddly entertaining.

[sorcerer999]

If SFTV part 2 does in fact come to fruition, do you guys think she'll revisit the Polaroid "selfie" theme for the album artwork or do you think she'll choose another creative path?

I would personally LOVE the concept of either having the artwork to be all of her drawings, paintings and artistic endeavors...or maybe just filled with those colorful hand-tinted black and white photos that she was obsessed with doing for a long time.

[Jondalar]

I hope she picks all her atmospheric songs, plus some rockers...

Night Gallery
Maker of Birds
Forest of Black Roses
Foresaken Love
Space Needle
Have a Heart
Cecilia
Joan of Arc
Malacine
Love You Enough
China Doll
Baby Doll

Now this is a true Stevie Nicks album!!!!!!!!! I would buy 50 copies.

[JohnL]

I cringed when she first talked about this and I cringe reading it here.

This has embarrassing written all over it. :sorry:

I dont think it is embarrassing. It sounds like she had a dream and woke up and wrote a song about it. What is so horrible about that? No one is going to think that it really happened or anything. To me it just shows the artist in her. She has never been someone who writes everyday songs.

The Polaroids are great. I would love to see some of her artwork. She may also choose to pay tribute to Herbie. He took all of the photos that she had tinted, I think.

I agree. We haven't even heard the song yet.

[gldstwmn]

I'd like to add Chanel Chanel and Something Exquisite to the imaginary tracklisting.

[APerfectLie]

I agree. We haven't even heard the song yet.

But we do have the poem she wrote...


The Kennedy’s

I had a fragile dream
In a great house in the Hamptons
I’d been there before
Singing songs ~ doing benefits
I was in a room alone
Putting on my make-up
Like so many things have come to me,
The dress ~ came across the Persian carpet~
As I fell into the dress
A thought came to me
Into my heart~
“I have a dream”
And a door opened~
It’s time now~ they’re waiting
I turned around to face the music (the dreamers)
“I’m ready for the Kennedy’s~”

I don’t know if it was 1960 or 1963
Everything was timeless ~ even me
I wasn’t old~ I wasn’t young~
I was just ~ part of the dream.
A shadow walked with me ~ down the hall
It was Martin Luther King~
All in shadow ~ all before me
Overwhelmed by destiny
Someone said, “sing us a song”
“There’s the piano..
And handed me a drink~
The room was full of hope~
A song would set them free…

I sat at the piano
I stared at the shadows
I sang the words “I have a dream”
He wasn’t my old friend John ~ I didn’t know him…then
But he smiled at me
And I sang these words
“What ever it takes to be free”
I didn’t know these men~
But they knew me~

It was all symbolic,
Nothing was as it seemed.
They all left us in a single shot~
But they didn’t take the dream.
They were there in that house,
Discussing the future~
Drinking champagne.
I was just the piano player~
The voice ~ part of their dream.
I was 35 ~ or maybe I was 15~
It was just a night in the presence
Of Martin Luther King~
I was just a dreamer;
I was ready for the Kennedys…

I got up from the piano
I bowed my head
As I walked thru the room
They touched my hands
Write about hope and a change of plan~
Light up the world if you can~

Light the fire ~ start it over
Tell the world about the dream
Change the world ~ begin again
Start it up ~ make it real~
Back in the room where it all began
My heart began to hurt~

I remember the beauty of the Hamptons
The shadows playing in the sun
And a voice said “The dream is not over~”
“The dream has just begun~”
I spun around to another shadow
Slipping through the door~
My eyes opened ~ wide …
What is all this for?
The shadows said ~ “Don’t forget ~”
“What we were fighting for…”

:eek: Don't know what to say about this rambling. I hope the misnomer The Kennedy's was not Stevie's mistake. An apostrophe signifies the possessive case of a pronoun: The Kennedy's mansion. The CD's case. The Farmer's Daughter.

When there is no possession of the noun, there is no apostrophe: The Black Keys. My CDs. Your books. The movies.
It's an pervasively common mistake. For anyone who respects the integrity of proper grammar and communication, seeing the misuse of the apostrophe is like nails on a chalkboard.

Everything was timeless ~ even me
I wasn’t old~ I wasn’t young~
I was just ~ part of the dream.
A shadow walked with me ~ down the hall
It was Martin Luther King~
All in shadow ~ all before me
Overwhelmed by destiny
Someone said, “sing us a song”
“There’s the piano..
And handed me a drink~
The room was full of hope~
A song would set them free…

I sat at the piano
I stared at the shadows
I sang the words “I have a dream”
He wasn’t my old friend John ~ I didn’t know him…then
But he smiled at me
And I sang these words
“What ever it takes to be free”
I didn’t know these men~
But they knew me~

It was all symbolic,
Nothing was as it seemed.
They all left us in a single shot~
But they didn’t take the dream.
They were there in that house,
Discussing the future~
Drinking champagne.
I was just the piano player~
The voice ~ part of their dream.
I was 35 ~ or maybe I was 15~
It was just a night in the presence
Of Martin Luther King~
I was just a dreamer;
I was ready for the Kennedys…

I got up from the piano
I bowed my head
As I walked thru the room
They touched my hands
Write about hope and a change of plan~
Light up the world if you can~

Light the fire ~ start it over
Tell the world about the dream
Change the world ~ begin again
Start it up ~ make it real~
Back in the room where it all began
My heart began to hurt~

I remember the beauty of the Hamptons
The shadows playing in the sun
And a voice said “The dream is not over~”
“The dream has just begun~”
I spun around to another shadow
Slipping through the door~
My eyes opened ~ wide …
What is all this for?
The shadows said ~ “Don’t forget ~”
“What we were fighting for…”

I hope this doesn't get put to music.

:eek: Don't know what to say about this rambling. I hope the misnomer The Kennedy's was not Stevie's mistake. An apostrophe signifies the possessive case of a pronoun. The Kennedy's mansion. The CD's case. The Farmer's Daughter.

When there is no possession involved, there is no apostrophe. (The Black Keys, CDs DVDs Movies.) It's an pervasively common mistake. For anyone who respects the integrity of proper grammar and communication, this is like nails on a chalkboard.

bet you wouldn't say that to Bob Dylan's.

I don't know if that's the case, but in Latin countries it's traditional to title literary works with a genitive that states the subject of the work; "The Kennedy's" would mean "The Kennedy's song" with "song" implied.
Or it's just a mistake, but I can see Stevie being this matronly.

[gldstwmn]

But we do have the poem she wrote...


The Kennedy’s

I had a fragile dream
In a great house in the Hamptons
I’d been there before
Singing songs ~ doing benefits
I was in a room alone
Putting on my make-up
Like so many things have come to me,
The dress ~ came across the Persian carpet~
As I fell into the dress
A thought came to me
Into my heart~
“I have a dream”
And a door opened~
It’s time now~ they’re waiting
I turned around to face the music (the dreamers)
“I’m ready for the Kennedy’s~”

I don’t know if it was 1960 or 1963
Everything was timeless ~ even me
I wasn’t old~ I wasn’t young~
I was just ~ part of the dream.
A shadow walked with me ~ down the hall
It was Martin Luther King~
All in shadow ~ all before me
Overwhelmed by destiny
Someone said, “sing us a song”
“There’s the piano..
And handed me a drink~
The room was full of hope~
A song would set them free…

I sat at the piano
I stared at the shadows
I sang the words “I have a dream”
He wasn’t my old friend John ~ I didn’t know him…then
But he smiled at me
And I sang these words
“What ever it takes to be free”
I didn’t know these men~
But they knew me~

It was all symbolic,
Nothing was as it seemed.
They all left us in a single shot~
But they didn’t take the dream.
They were there in that house,
Discussing the future~
Drinking champagne.
I was just the piano player~
The voice ~ part of their dream.
I was 35 ~ or maybe I was 15~
It was just a night in the presence
Of Martin Luther King~

Light up the world if you can~

Change the world ~ begin again

Thank you! I'd completely forgotten about the poem.

Did Stevie write that poem? I thought John made it up to entertain us.:laugh::woohoo:

[APerfectLie]

Did Stevie write that poem? I thought John made it up to entertain us.:laugh::woohoo:

Hahaha I wish I was that creative! But it came straight from la Nicks herself: http://rockalittle.com/message_jan20_2009.htm

The poem is a little rambly, but there are some pretty good lines in it and I do like the nod to Straight Back. I never envisioned the poem for "Soldier's Angel" working as a song but she pulled it off, so hopefully if she does record this she will keep the essential parts, write a great chorus, and axe the rambling. Bug we shall see!

[bombaysaffires]

I don't know if that's the case, but in Latin countries it's traditional to title literary works with a genitive that states the subject of the work; "The Kennedy's" would mean "The Kennedy's song" with "song" implied.
Or it's just a mistake, but I can see Stevie being this matronly.

yes but that would mean "the song the Kennnedys wrote / own"

if you just mean the Kennedys, plural, as in all the Kennedys, or all the Kennedy brothers, there is no apostrophe, just the 's'. Putting an apostrophe before the 's shows ownership.

It is Stevie's song about the Kennedys.

[Artemis]

You know, I have only just discovered The Forest Of The Black Roses and I think it's utterly spellbinding. I think Stevie could still sing this song superbly.

Is this one of the "Rhiannon songs"? I've always avoided them like the plague as the whole project just seems so... lame. But if the songs are all of this quality...

Yes, that's what I was saying.
In Latin countries genitive is used also to indicate the content of the work... I don't know how to explain it, but a poem titled "The Kennedy's" would be equal to "The poem about the Kennedys" because it's dedicated to them, and if it's dedicated to them then they "own" it.
By the way, if you don't recognize it it means that Saxon languages doesn't have this use and it's probablyly a typo.

[David]

Thank you! I'd completely forgotten about the poem.

Chris! You're not going to bestow the honorific "poem" on that, are you?

Yes, it's one of the Rhiannon songs. The only other songs that have been "officially" categorized as Rhiannon songs (that have been in circulation) are "Maker Of Birds" and "Forsaken Love". Both are also extremely gorgeous. Especially "Forsaken Love" which is one of my all time favorite demos. You should check both of those out. You won't be sorry! :D

According to Stevie, there are 10 or 11 songs that she has written for the "Rhiannon" project. "Stay Away" and "Melacine" (Water Witch) have been speculated to be songs from this project but I'm not sure what has been confirmed and what hasn't.

Has "Angel" ever been speculated to be a Rhiannon song too?
I say that because wikipedia seems to think so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhiannon_(song)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_(Fleetwood_Mac_song)
I know that Stevie said in more than an interview that the the lines "I close my eyes softly 'til i become that part of the wind that we all long for sometime" and "like a ghost through a fog like a charmed hour and a haunted song" were references to the song of Rhiannon and her three birds, as they had the power to heal and soothe pains.

[PenguinHead]

:] I respect Bob Dylan, but I'm not a big fan of his song's!:sorry:

That is correct -- there is that exception. However, I don't think Stevie intended that implication, but I will accept your excuses for her.

You are impressively sharp, considering that English is your second language. Your intellect scares me!

Thank you but actually since in high school we study Latin and this grammar use descend by Latin it was pretty easy to think about it.
By the way I knew about this use of the genitive in English because I used to be an avid reader of Edgar Allan Poe poetry and he does extensive use of it in his titles. Since we know Stevie used to read Poe too, it's possible that she may use it too, maybe she doesn't even know or remember about its grammatic origins but she uses it anyway.
Or maybe it's a typo.

Stevie has an unstudied grasp of grammar. But that is a part of her atypical uniqueness. Rock and roll "poets" mostly get a free pass to bend or break conventional rules.

[jkmaletic]

I'm not a big demo listener, but I just heard Joan of Arc and I would love to hear what Dave would do to it. It even has sort of a Eurythmics vibe to it, IMO.

It's already March - 2015 is almost 1/4 over. Can't wait for Stevie solo again!! :blob2:


Jamie

[He's So Unusual]

I would love her to record an updated version of At the Fair. I think it has the potential to be a really great song. The demo has a Kate Bush vibe to it.

[StevieNicksfann]

I may be in the minority because most of the songs I want in a Vol 2 don't seem to be mentioned or talked about that much but I would love the next album to include:

Rock A Bye Baby
Jimmy Come On Back
It's Not A Dream
This Is My Cross To Bear
Tied Up (In Promises)
Castaway
Ooh Baby
One More Tomorrow
Christian/Spinning Wheels/Mirror Ball
Rich Old Lady/Mystical Love
I Call You Missing
What Has Rock N Roll Ever Done For You?
Chanel Chanel
Love And War/Mixdown
City of Hope/Charmed Ones
Julia

I like this list! I too would be a happy camper to see "Castaway", "Spinning Wheels" and especially "Rock A Bye Baby" get an official rerecorded release!

[PenguinHead]

I've always had the impression that Jimmy Won't You Come On Back was not a serious song intended for release.

The story I recall is that during the recording sessions for Bella Donna, Jimmy was mad or frustrated or angry about some issue, so he walked away from the proceedings.

So the song was written on the spot to liven the moment; an impromptu fun joke to entertain themselves and Jimmy to get him back into the groove.

I can see this as a novelty b-side, but never as an album track. But it never even got that far. They had the chorus down, but the verses are a bit mucky. Has anyone been able to decipher them?

[The Highwayman]

Please someone tell her to do 'Forest of the Black Roses'. Gorgeous tune.

[bombaysaffires]

Not sure I want to hear it by her now, with the way her voice has changed. The voice she'd had on the demo is long gone. Just my personal opinion.

[PenguinHead]

Not sure I want to hear it by her now, with the way her voice has changed. The voice she'd had on the demo is long gone. Just my personal opinion.

Well the demo was made about forty years ago. Of course she can't replicate that voice. Age may limit certain abilities, but it doesn't limit creativity. Stevie's latest album proves that. She has the capabilities to reinvent any song. If the demo was never heard, there would be no comparison, The "new" song would just be judged on its own merits.

While I love the that she revisited old songs lingering in her vault, and resurrected them in the present day, I am dismayed by the criticism that stems from her age. She's doing the best that she can, and she's still a viable artist, Wisdom comes with age. And that seasoned wisdom often holds more value and power than just vocal range. I try reserve too much judgement and be grateful just for the fact that she is alive, well, and keeps doing what she does.

Just my humble opinion.

I agree if the demo was never heard we'd never know. But we have heard it. And she knows we have.

I have no doubt she could find a way to reinvent the song with Dave or whomever. But the magic of that vocal won't be there,for me. Will it be replaced by something just as magical? I would hope so, but since her voice has changed so much in the intervening time, for me it would probably not be the same, though with a full arrangement around it it could be very cool. It is what it is.

Who's picking on her for her age? I've certainly never said she's old or washed up or whatever. I've only pointed out that her voice has inevitably changed a lot with age, and that this makes it difficult for her to perform a lot of her songs the way she used to, and this can change how some people feel about her performances of those songs.

Like most fans, I'll be buying whatever she puts out until she stops putting any music out, new or old.

But some of the demo vocals (just like her vocals on Rumours) can't be matched by her today. I'm just glad they were captured in some form at that time.

I really appreciate your thoughtful response.

I realize that it's unavoidable to not compare her vocal abilities of yesteryear to her abilities in her present state. It just proves that Stevie is mortal like the rest of us! It's similar to looking at old photos of ourselves in our youth and seeing the startling change that age brings.

Though we lose our youth, we gain so much in the process. It's inevitably that no one can match the capabilities they once had. So I'm more sensitive about not always making those comparisons, as it seems to denigrate what she is still able to do. Is it possible to appreciate both sides?

I have gratitude that she is still a workhorse, still relevant, still staying true to who she has always been. That means more than the loss of vocal range. Over all, she has fared very well with the voice she has.

Consider Joni Mitchell. In her heyday, she an stunning vocal range. As an unapologetic, lifelong smoker, she has lost almost all of her signature range, On her latter day albums her voice has very little of the character that she is generally known for.

On the other hand, Stevie has managed to maintain the character of her voice. Throughout her entire career, she has had issues with her voice. And in live performance she often avoided the high notes she achieved on record. In the last decade or more, I think her vocals have been more consistent and controlled than in any other era.

this is why it would be so great if she would write a book! I think she has so much to teach a lot of these younger performers today about how to build a career and an image that will withstand the test of time.

I agree with you that over time her voice inevitably changed and can't be what it once was. She has said she loves the sound of her voice and loves that she sounds like no one else. I agree. It's the voice and it's the songs themselves. Her fierce commitment to being a songwriter is really to me what was the true foundation to her longevity, even more than her voice. Singers go in and out of fashion but the way she expresses herself in her songs and the deep meaning of those words to so many people is her real magic.

So I'll wait with you to see what she puts out on future albums and will be happy to judge new recordings on their own merits. ;) while still enjoying the gloriousness of her voice on the demos. It's nice to have both!

.

If Stevie write a book of any kind, she really needs a professional co-writer/editor to smooth out the quirks of her communication skills. Sure, she can be funny and ramble on, but she need someone to articulate her thoughts in a cohesive narrative. She's more ephemeral than literal.

Her career was established in a very different era. The music business has drastically changed since the advent of technology and social media. Whatever advice and wisdom Stevie has to give to fledgling artists is in the realm of style,image, attitude and emotion. But she's no maven of business and marketing. Her lack of social media experience leaves her ill-equipped to teach the modern day marketing skills of building a career.

Actually, the current generation is very savvy in utilizing social media to their advantage.

She has said she loves the sound of her voice and loves that she sounds like no one else. I agree.
