Obviously, we know she produced Bombay Sapphires on Trouble In Shangri La. I, too have wondered exactly what the extent of her producing entailed. But honestly, she's been Lindsey Buckingham's musical partner for what, over 40 years now? She's recorded 7 Fleetwood Mac studio albums, 6 solo studio albums, and has recorded countless songs for various other projects... I'd have to think after all this time, after all her experiences, she'd have to of picked up some production knowledge :).
Regarding the never ending whining about Stevie "posers" and "wannabees"... seriously guys, get a grip. Stevie's in show business. That involves working with other people who are in show business. I'd be willing to bet that much of the time, these little pairings we've seen with Stevie this past decade have been management orchestrations to begin with. And even if that's not the case, why the hell would anyone care? In the end, these little girls who are hanging out with Stevie always get her some form of press... even if it is minute. And that's never a bad thing for any celeb. Even after Taylor Swift's less than swift performance at the Grammys, I can assure you both Taylor AND Stevie's album sales saw a small bump. Even amidst the cries for Taylor to throw in the towel.
Regarding why Stevie would be producing a Christine song, it probably has to do with the fact Michelle Branch is recording it. They're clearly friends... friends help friends. Friends like to do stuff together. Has anyone stopped to think that Stevie might have her fingers in the production of this whole album? Probably not since everybody is too busy bitching and nailing themselves (or Stevie) to the cross. :rolleyes:
Honestly guys, I'm getting very, very sick of the "nobody is good enough to work with/be friends with Stevie" schtick. Stevie's just a human being. She eats, sleeps, breathes, and takes a crap like the rest of us. She just happens to be in the music business. So does Michelle Branch. It's just another day at the office for them, folks!
