Stevie was RECORDING yesterday...
 

..with John Freese (session drummer who formerly played drums for Nine Inch Nails, Guns N' Roses, & more recently, Weezer, & Paramore) - according to his FB status post yesterday.

What could this be? Is Stevie recording something extra to add to the doc in memoriam to her mom? It wouldn't be surprising that she is planning on dedicating her IYD doc to her mum! Maybe she re-recorded "Touched By An Angel" or wrote a new song!

Doesn't suprise me. She often records demos in February of any year.

I haven't been keeping up with Stevie. What happened with that tribute album for her mom she was supposed to do? I've seen several posts on the Ledge that suggest it's no longer in the works. Was the project shelved?

I think it's a big assumption to say it was ever "in the works" to begin with. The only info we had on a possible album in tribute to her mother was a "source" quoted by the National Enquirer, who said that Stevie wanted to do something in light of her mother's passing.

Then, of course, speculation here went crazy, and before we knew it, people had concluded that Stevie was putting together everything from a CD of covers of songs her mother loved, to a whole new CD or original material.

So to answer your question, we don't even know if there was a "project" to be shelved.

Recorded w/ Stevie Nicks 2day. Hung out w/Jackson Browne accidentally on my way 2 studio and told him Paul Westerberg loves LATE 4 THE SKY

Did you read the original post that started this thread?

Thats good she's in the studio.

Yes I did. First post was a Facebook mention and my post was Twitter mention.

Thank you for the update, Ruby. Interesting to see how this information is spread via different social media. And second day is intriguing, of course. Now if we could get him to tell us if she wanted it to be: " like Fleetwood Mac wasn't there but they were there." :thumbsup:

Yeah I agree.;)

stevie always keeps us guessing...first another short tour with Rod and now shes in the studio...who knows whats in store for us...i think she may be re-energized and we may have some new music by the first of next year

I wonder if this will delay the FM plans for next year.

I'm sure this is what was contemplated when we heard that she wanted to spend more time promoting IYD, rather than jumping back into FM. So, I don't think it will delay 2013. I just think that it was in the offing when we heard the band wouldn't be working together in 2012.

I think the delay has already been factored in.

Stevie could simply be recording some demos for inclusion into future projects (the Mac being a possible home for some of them). She probably has lots of poetry following the death of her much beloved Mother, and she's probably just putting some of that into song form. :)

...or she's doing backing vocals/a duet with one of her "famous friends." There have been quite a few people who have mentioned lately they'd love to work with her. :shrug:

Does she normally call in a drummer for demos? The demos that I've heard all sound like drum machines were used.
