Which Demos Will Make the Cut for the New Solo Record?
Now that we know there are 17 of 25 demos recorded, which ones do you guys think will be on the new release? Stevie said they were found on YouTube (which I guess saved Lori a trip to the old Arizona Vault ;))

Much as I love Stevie's songs, I do also think that her best songwriting days are behind her, so I would be very happy if any of those old demos made it onto the new disc. My picks would be...
Space Needle (such a dark song but I dearly love it) Watchdevil China Doll Blue Water Here's to hoping... :) :) Kevin |
I can only count on one hand how many demos I've listened to of hers, but I just now listened to the "Julia" outtake on YouTube and WOW. I love it!!
(... now going off to listen to the rest you guys are listing :)) |
I don't know how I feel about this...Some of her old demos are priceless (China Doll, Forest Of The Black Roses and others) if they can turn out the way "Crystal" did when Stevie re-recorded it then this new record could be great...If Stevie is going to start recording old songs I think she should re-record ALL of her FM songs it could be a huge seller...And while she's at it a couple "standards" albums wouldn't hurt...If Stevie recorded a "Standards" album and toured with Rod Stewart again it could be very profitable for her...If Stevie want's to do any of this she's got to put Fleetwood Mac to bed ...Do a FM farewell tour and then go on a recording spree...The clock is ticking Stevie do you want to do a bunch of cash grab tours or do something worthwhile...The choice is yours...

No wonder Dave described the album as Classic Stevie Nicks.

Not to mention it's just a bit bizarre for me to swallow 65 year old Stevie recording an entire album of songs from her youth. Don't get me wrong, these songs are all from her golden songwriting era. But Stevie's in such a different place in her life these days. Plus, I hate to even go here... but there's a reason some of these songs never turned up on an album. :sorry: Quote:

On the one hand, this is pretty cool because her demos are beloved among fans and it's kind of awesome that she realized that and is recording them. If they turn out well, this could be great, and something really nice to have.
However... on the other hand... one of the reasons I was so shocked/excited about the new album was because I couldn't believe that she had been writing that much. And now it turns out she hasn't and it's all old songs. Additionally, all of those songs were written when she had a very different vocal timbre and range so it will be interesting to see if she just goes for it vocally or if she alters them to fit her current voice. And there's a bit of a risk factor either way in that regard. So I don't know, I have mixed feelings. |
I've never agreed with the idea that the demos are better than what was released. I find many of them interesting, but most of them aren't things that I'd listen to for enjoyment. And yes, there is a reason many of them never made it on an album.
A lot of them, though, definitely have potential and I'm dying to hear what they're like as fully produced songs. The Rhiannon-related piano demos would be great to hear fleshed out. I can't imagine that "Julia" isn't among the ones recorded. I am really excited by this and I'm pleasantly surprised that she decided to do this. Dave must've talked her into it. |

This is a great idea. All my frustration with Stevie has been washed away. I look forward to what she and Dave come up with. I hope it comes out before the Mac rehearsals.

My wish list; and I must say, this would be a dream come true. While I love these old demos, new versions would be absolutely welcome in my collection - it's not like I can't keep listening to the old ones if I like them better! I would really have loved to be looking over her shoulder while Stevie perused these old songs on YouTube - the memories must have prompted hours of reminiscing.
