I believe Stevie will have 4 songs that just say written by Stevie Nicks not 3. She said she wrote 9 with Dave and 7 of them are on the album. Then there's 2 with Mike. So that leaves 4. I'm gonna guess they are Secret Love, New Orleads, Soldiers Angel and Italian Summer. Or maybe Moonlight is in and one of those 4 is out. Not that it matters to me what songs say what, really it's weird that some songs give Stevie sole credit when they are still transfromed quite a bit by other people. It's all psychological for Stevie and for us. BUT I belive this will be her first album ever where EVERY song will have her name next to it either alone or as a cowrite. That's really impressive.

I hear what you're saying, but listening to the Secret Love demo all these years and hearing the final product - the finished song doesn't stray from Stevie 's melody or simple chord structure at all. The rest is arrangement and embellishments. Stevie clearly should be given solo songwriting credit.
And it's interesting to hear D.S.'s favorite song is FWIW, I hadn't heard that he said that. Perhap's it because he's in an alt. country frame of mind with The Blackbird Diaries. None the less, it gives me another song to look forward to, as well as the so called "catchy" title track. I'm predicting that this album will blow most of us away
And it is exciting that this will be a 1st for Stevie - to have songwriting credit on every single song on the record.
