"24 Karat Gold Songs From The Vault" Billboard article

This is fantastic!
I don't know if any of you remember me asking for "requests" of old demo's and such to give to Mick during a meet and greet. But I gave him 3 discs worth and his assistant took them and said he'd give them to Stevie and Mick said, no I'll give them to her! I asked him if she ever got them, about a month later at another show, and he said she did and that some one else had also given them a disc and that she was very interested.
So, power to the people!!

I am beyond thrilled about this new development. For the most part, I've really enjoyed when she's delved into the old demos for the last bunch of recordings (except, of course, Smile At You...sorry but it pales in comparison to the earlier demo versions...) ... THIS is going to be EPIC

wonder if it will be a double cd

At least Dave tweets about Stevie...Stevie should learn from him and start tweeting about her new record...

May 15, 2014 8:45 AM ETMany artists lament the fact that YouTube is filled with bootlegs of their unreleased music, but for Stevie Nicks, this proved to be a tremendous gift. Her entire upcoming album - tentatively titled 24 Karat Gold: Songs From The Vault - consists of newly recorded versions of obscurities she found on the song/video-sharing website, according to Billboard. The disc, produced by Dave Stewart, guitarist Waddy Wachtel and Nicks herself, is slated to hit shelves in October.


At the BMI Awards, Nicks revealed that she recorded the songs in just three weeks, which she says is a new record for her. "We went onto YouTube and we found all the songs that, somehow, were taken from my house or picked up or loaned out or whatever," she recently told the Associated Press. "And we went to Nashville (and recorded them). So they're like all starting from like 1969 maybe? I call them my 24 karat gold songs."

"24 Karat Gold" was originally recorded during the sessions for Nicks' 1981 LP Bella Donna. The other tracks from the LP have yet to be announced. Nicks' last album was 2011's In Your Dreams. Much of her time since then has been devoted to Fleetwood Mac. The group hopes to release a new album with Christine McVie when they wrap up their upcoming tour.

Maybe You Wont Forget Me or Fairwell Failure.

Dave is the best thing to happen in Stevie's solo career for a long time.

how cool is that?? you may have played a role in this... maybe even substantial!!

I find it extremely amusing that a lot of people who post in this forum, who just two days ago were b**ching and moaning about Stevie "selfishly holding up the process of making the new Fleetwood Mac album" have completely changed their tune after hearing the new announcement and details about her new solo album, and are now jumping up and down with anticipation and track predictions/wish lists.

Without knowing who or what posts you're referencing, I'd say it's due to one simple fact: They're Stevie fans who want Stevie's music, no matter the source.

I couldn't DISagree more. Demo versions were horrid.

Stevie Nicks Is Also Inspired by Stevie Nicks By Maggie Lange
As one does, Stevie Nicks reports that she once tumbled into the Stevie Nicks–specific YouTube rabbit hole. That's a notoriously difficult one to crawl out of — lined with slippery silken fabrics, a dearth of footholds, and whatnot. She told the Associated Press:

We went onto YouTube and we found all the songs that, somehow, were taken from my house or picked up or loaned out or whatever ... and we went to Nashville (and recorded them). So they're like all starting from like 1969 maybe? I call them my 24 karat gold songs.

But Nicks emerged, and she emerged with inspiration for a new album. How did you emerge from your Fleetwood YouTube fugue state?

Me too!!!! Brilliant move on her part and shows she is a generous spirit.
