A lot of those OLD songs are GOOD because they were works in progress long before she put them on the reels to be considered for demos for Bella Donna. Gypsy, one of her greatest songs, went through MANY iterations before it was left off Bella Donna and then picked up again for Mirage.
Stevie of these days thinks "You wouldn't say that to Bob Dylan". Blah. Woman... listen... you need you take creative criticism! Stevie's best work has always been filtered, condensed, or polished by others, WITH her input. She needs to remember that and let the creative juices flow, and then keep working on it till it is fully cooked. LIke a Ham. which she can be sometimes as well!
