I think a new musical direction for Stevie would be a great thing. I also think a new contract with a small label would be a good thing for Stevie, so that she had the freedom to take whatever musical direction she chose. I also would love to hear a country album from her. Some of my very favorite Stevie songs are basically rooted in country - After The Glitter Fades, Think About It, That's Alright, Bella Donna, Enchanted, Candlebright, Angel.....I love her renditions of It's Late, and Are You Mine, and Wear My Ring. A country or blues-esque Stevie album would be a great thing to my ears. All in all, I'd just like a new album. I'm still excited about the Rhiannon movie project soundtrack, and the recordings with the Melbourne symphony, but no one other than Stevie knows if those will really materialize. At this point, any direction would be nice....but only after she's rested and feeling inspired. Albums of any type aren't good when they're produced out of pressure rather than creativity.

Well, I don't like country or folk music really, but I loved the jazzy/bluesy stuff she did during the Don Henley benefit shows, "At Last" and "When Sunny Gets Blue", so I would love to see her do a CD of classic jazz and blues. Maybe some Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaughn, of course Etta James, I would love to hear her sing "Georgia" in the style of Ray Charles...ooh!

I'd be mesmorized. But if she kinda re-invented herself, how should she do it?

Hmm, that would be cool, I loved "Wrecking Ball"

"direction" is the same chances of me burning my 20+ years of hard work "metal" collection...And replacing it with "polka"

Sorry, dont see that happening in this lifetime.

Even if she never does a full fledge 'new' album...I want a 2 disc LIVE CD from her best performances over the last 20 years. Also...an acoustic album would so ROCK!!! She could release a CD tomorrow simply called: "The Bootlegs"...we would all rush out and buy two copies....Another thought would be an all 'cover' CD, she could pick her favorite songs like..."Hello, It's Me"...I doubt she would go for that being known as a SONGWRITER though...lastly I could see an all 'duets' CD maybe with re-release of Stop Dragging and Leather & Lace...with a bunch of new songs with Stevie and all of her "friends" like, Sheryl, Lindsey, Joe Walsh, Chrissie H, Bonnie R., Chris I, etc etc...bottom line...I love her....we all do...and selfishly, we all CRAVE anything we can get...I cherish every CD I have, everything she has shared with us...I guess I just want more....her music just makes things....better.

I need another Stevie bootleg like I need another medical bill

However, An "official" live album wouldnt be a bad idea...

Yeah, maybe you're right. Sad to think.

How 'bout a really nice Christmas album?

This is maybe one of the funniest posts I've ever read.

My two cents: Country album. Definitely.

Actually, I'll probably be happy if she just steers clear of the John Shanks crowd. One album was fine, but I fear pushing our luck.

And stop hanging around with Sheryl Crow so much. She ain't that great, and it shows on the TISL songs she produced.

Stevie doesn't "get typecast." She typecasts herself.

I remember on the Enchanted tour, when she would get ready to do the acoustic set, she'd say, "I could never do this kind of thing on a normal tour." And I just thought, well why the hell not?

Actually, she seems to do better stretching herself when she doesn't have a new album to push. Her setlist was really interesting on the Enchanted tour, and it's been intriguing on her mini-tour this year. When she's pushing a new album, though, whatever slots aren't taken up by new songs seem to go to the warhorses.

wouldnt be bad...But if she did do one, I would like to see an album without any special guests whatsoever.

Well shoot, why do a country album if you're not gonna bring along a few friends?

I agree, I wouldn't want to see "special guests" over-running the album, and I definitely wouldn't want to see most of your run-of-the-mill popular modern country stars on there, but (as I mentioned in a thread in the Rumours forum) how about a little duet with Emmylou Harris or Merle Haggard or someone of that age and stature?

I would plotz if she did a song with Emmylou. Can't say that I can see Emmylou singing Stevie Nicks material, though.

that asslick needs to be dragged to my hometown, dragged up the stairs of the courthouse and receive his ass-pummeling for that gawd-awful song "Okie From Muskogee" which has forever given Muskogee a black eye (Yo Merle, Ya admitted ya only live in Oklahoma for 2 months as an infant...And the town ya lived in is Checotah, Home of the latest American Idiotic Idol winner).

Brian "Okie from Muskogee....The worse song ever!!!" j.

ps-I was so glad when Faith No More (While opening for Robert Plant at the Muskogee Civic Center) spoofed the living hell out that Merle Haggard tune.
