I wouldn't say I'm jumping up and down... but finding out that Stevie's doing nothing but an album full of her famous demos, and is releasing it by October certainly seems like a grand gesture to her fanbase. She's giving us all exactly what we've been clamoring for for eons- a quickly recorded album, and is finally letting some beloved songs see the light of day. What else could we ask for? Plus, this seems to quell my fears of a country album, and the album eating up Fleetwood Mac time. Because it's official now- the album will be out before the new Mac tour begins.

Stevie may be my favorite Mac member, but I'm still a Mac fan first & foremost. I will take a Mac album any day over a solo one. And I won't apologize for that, either. Would I still rather Stevie be in the studio recording with Fleetwood Mac rather than making a solo album? Absolutely. But this is the best possible option besides that...

"For What It's Worth" a search for "Stevie Nicks" on twitter shows her new album is quite the topic of conversation...

Agreed. And I hope that they can honestly put this out by October, like they're hoping to do. But knowing Miss Nicks...

I'm waiting for Dave to post a snippet of one of the tracks...Can't wait to hear what they sound like.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Of course, this also occurred in the lead-up to the In Your Dreams album, even though the criticism wasn't necessarily in regard to the stalling of a Fleetwood Mac album. So many people whinged about Dave's involvement and then did a 180 once the album was released. There are certainly some fickle members on this forum.

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.

So does anyone have any idea which of the demos might go as far back as 1969?

Love those songs. Hope at least one (Farewell Failure would be my pick) got recorded and makes the album.
