I'm happy to hear they are open to considering album designed by a fan. The results will probably be her most creative album cover. Can you imagine a cover without Stevie posed on the cover? I can, and it's about time. There will be plenty of space on the back and in the inserts for her photo shoots. I hope they go that route, with very creative artwork/graphic design. It would be more intriguing , and likely less dated in years to come. There is no requisite to have every album cover feature her.

I agree with you that she doesn't need to be on the cover.

That said, I do not like the 'fan art' or 'fan design' concept *at all*.

When "Stevie Nicks" and "fan design" are mentioned together, I imagine those hideous artistic renderings of Stevie with unicorns and curls and doe-eyes and wolves and moons...yeah, I hate that crap. Yes, I am talking about that Johanna and every other piece of Stevie Nicks fan art ever made. Hate it.

Let's not forget the roses and crystal balls, I think I've even seen dreamcatchers. The art nouveau style is the only one I really care for.

Like Bob Masse? I do generally love his work.

If the fan design thing becomes reality, hopefully they'll pick from submissons created by professional artists and designers, who have had the opportunity to hear the entire album first, for inspriation, who happen to be fans and see it as paid work, and not the realization a lifelong obsession with Stevie Nicks. I'd hate for someone like me to be designing an album cover.

I really hope that "Gold & Braid" is one of the songs that was NOT RECORDED for this project. I really don't see how they could top the Live version we got on the "Enchanted" Boxed Set. To me, it's perfection. I really love how tight the band is on that one, plus the harmonies and Stevie's vocals are flawless. Sometimes, when I sing along to it, I forget that it's live.

I'm not to keen on that idea, either. It would really have to be a super DUPER talented fan with an idea so original (and so far removed from the Johanna wolves, moons and unicorns) that would capture the essence of Stevie's music PLUS some sort of visual awe inspiring bombshell!

I think having Fan Art for a cover is an awesome Idea. If I am correct the pic sleeve for "If Anyone Falls" was done by a fan.

I have a strong feeling it was recorded and will be released on the album
It might be the song she said that was played live but never recorded .
(And I'm a little wary as well btw )
If I was a betting man I would say it might even be the single release.
that or : All the Beautiful Worlds "

While I'm at it I have a theory that the unknown snippit that Dave tweeted might be
Teleohone/forget about me .

I have no basis for these assumptions .
Just fun speculating .

It's not like Stevie's team is going to pick a crappy, amateurish cover just because someone submitted it (and I'm talking to you, Mr.Nicks).

Can you imagine all the talented artists and graphic designers who would gravitate to this project -- inspired to come with an amazing conception, and "outside of the box" design.. Someone might submit something that would just knock them out. I assume Dave Stewart thought of this idea. It's great way get people engaged, while stimulating the creative process by making it a competition of sorts.

It's a Fantastict idea

Your quote states exactly why it would be senseless for that to happen.
There is no need to re-record a song that has already been recorded and released (albeit not in a studio). Technically, it's not a "vault" song. Given all the unreleased songs she has, I can't imagine the need to regurgitate that song. I hope she doesn't go there, because of the comparison. The bar is too high. Bad move! Stevie, step away from that song!

I know that, but I think if Stevie had included it on perhaps 'The Wild Heart' instead of 'I Will Run To You', that would've been better. It's such an energetic song live and I think that would've come through on the album.

To be honest I'm ok with a new version of Gold and Braid .
Of course the Bella Donna concert version
Is the definitive one .
But even then I wanted a studio version..

I think I could allow the two to exist .

I think she could bring a different kind of energy to the song that might work .
As she is an older woman now a lot of these demos from the 70s and 80s will take on a new dimension from an emotional standpoint .

Songs like "the Dealer" "all the beautiful world" "gold and Braid ". If recorded could have now have this wisdom and worldliness. As well as touches of prophecy .
Kind of like Silver Springs did
