Had to look and he said "we are a band of musicians and a great singer." He didn't do a head count on the musicians. Still, he'd be an idiot to call Stevie a musician. She's a singer and, more importantly, she's a songwriter. She's an artist. But she herself says she's not a musician, for instance:

“I have archives of demos, and I have many, many friends who prefer the demos — who have them and listen to them, and that’s kind of really hard to take when it costs you nothing to do a demo and it costs you $500,000 or $1 million to do a record, and people come to you and say, ‘Can I have a cassette of the song when it was just a demo?’…It’s very important to me that what I’m saying comes through. I’m not a musician. More than musically, it’s very important that what I have to say comes through and so on this record, he did what I asked. He let me put my demo feeling through.”

It's no more of an insult not to call Stevie a musician than it is not to call Lindsey a pianist.
