I don't this she is recording a country album she is just using Dave's setup at Blackbird to make this record as efficiently as possible. She probably sees this as her only opportunity to do another solo album (and possibly to work with Dave) before signing on to a two to three year commitment with FM. I think a FM album is still in the works but was pushed back until next year to give Stevie this window of time to do her own thing before she rejoins FM full time (with some solo dates here and there between legs of FM tours).
