I love her. Maybe Lindsey/Mac/fans deserve a slap in the face.

Are you kidding? Stevie has devoted a huge part of her musical career to Fleetwood Mac and almost always puts them first. Why do you think she's said all of her songs are available to Fleetwood Mac? She has been beyond loyal to the band and managed to have a sucsessful solo career at the same time. So she wants to do some recording on her own? She has every right to do that and in fact I bet the Mac members support her. Lindsey does his own thing and so does Mick. And maybe the members of FM don't want to do an album right at this very moment. I really don't understand how you could consider this a slap in the face. That's laughable to me.

I think he is referring to all of the mendacity surrounding their motivation to go on a greatest hits tour- supposedly to get their chops in shape for the studio. Over time it seems to have gone from "we're excited about going to the studio" to "hopefully something will happen" to "the band will be on hiatus for 18 months." I'm not sure if it's a slap in the face, but it sure seems like something happened over the course of the tour that made an album less and less likely to happen...

O.k. that makes a little more sense then but I'd still waaaaaaaaay prefer a Stevie album so it doesn't bother me much. And I really don't think Stevie is doing this purposely to spite FM fans lol.

I think people are deluded and just think they are working with Stevie Nicks. Peter Asher said he was working with her back in January for some Buddy Holly tribute album, but we didn't know if she was doing a song for the album or if the song they were doing was something different, yet details of his work with Stevie and about the Buddy Holly tribute album have yet to surface. Michelle Branch had Stevie produce a song for a Fleetwood Mac tribute album, yet no news on that either! And Dave Stewart has been writing and recording with her, but so far he is the only one to mention it! And some woman is doing a photoshoot of Stevie this month. I wouldn't be surprised if the pictures never turn up. Stevie has probably spent all of 2010 in England drinking wine and vodka tonics with Christine while all these people here are having schizophrenic visions of working with her! Oh the elusive ways of Stevie Nicks.

But on a serious note, I think we haven't heard anything from her because she hasn't really had the opportunity to talk about it. She hasn't had an interview or anything and I think the grammys could have been a great segway into getting her on some TV shows where she could say "I'm planning on doing a new album!" but since it turned into how awful Taylor Swift was, she knew an interview would be focused on Taylor Swift's horrible singing rather than what Stevie has been up to.

Waddy's site mentions it:

January 2010 Waddy Wachtel was called upon by his old friend Peter Asher to assist with production and play guitar on some tracks (featuring Stevie Nicks and Chris Isaak) for Peter's upcoming tribute to Buddy Holly album.

I would love to see Stevie do something with Robert Plant. That would be soooooooo cool IMO!

Hmmm, I heard that this isn't a Stevie solo project at all, but that it is a Dave project and that he is getting together artists that he'd like to sing with and have them do songs. So....what it sounds like to me is that this is going to be a Dave solo album. So sad.

p.s. I am also pretty sure I saw Dave in Starbucks today in Malibu...but I did not say hello. Maybe I should have tried to confirm this information but he seemed rushed AND they messed up my Vanilla Bean Frap.

My. Worst. Nightmare.

Saw it coming tho... when it comes to Stevie Nicks, always guess the worst... you'll still be disappointed.

Where in the world did you hear this?? According to the Eurythmics Official Facebook page, it is a "Stevie + Dave CD" with other contributions from Dave's friends from his label, WME. It's a collaboration project between the two of them.

Don't be disappointed yet, nothing has been confirmed.

Of course we all want to know where you "heard" this intel from!

I don't discount the possibility that it is a Dave solo album. However, it seems odd to me that he and Stevie would be writing so many songs and spending so much time together in the studio. But then again, in one of Dave's recent tweets, he did mention that he was writing songs with Joss Stone as well

, which lends credence to the Dave solo album rumor.

Was this the Starbucks in that little shopping center in Malibu with the big Banana Republic store in the middle? Some years ago I saw Robert Downey Jr. (freshly out of rehab) there walking away with four venti something-or-others while yapping on his phone. It must be quite the celebrity haunt!

Dammit, if this turns out to be a solo album from Dave with just one or two songs with Stevie I'm gonna be SO DISSAPOINTED!

Why be dissapointed. Then we'll have two new Stevie Nicks songs.

It all makes perfect sense if you really think about it. No doubt they're working on several songs, and will cherry pick the best one(s) at a later date. For Stevie, this is probably the perfect, no-pressure way to come off the yearlong roller coaster Mac tour: go record a few songs with an old FuBu for his album

. Oh well... at least she's still working, still creating something new. She hasn't pulled a Greta Garbo on us... I guess we should be grateful!

I agree with your points here.

We all have to think about this logically before we start hitting our heads against the wall in frustration about this being a Dave solo album. Stevie and Dave have been working together since February 22nd and are still working together, as of today, April 2nd. So for 6 solid weeks, they have been writing and recording at breakneck speed. If Stevie was only contributing a few songs to a Dave solo album, why would they still be working together, why would they have written that many songs together (about 6 or 7), and why would she be hanging out with him and Glen Ballard in their studio? Stevie isn't the "hanging out" kind of person when the project isn't about her solo work or Fleetwood Mac, so i just can't see that being a possibility since Stevie has invested so much time and work into this project. Also, Dave is an extreme multi-tasker...remember, included in his very first tweet about Stevie, he said he had written and would be performing a song with Colbie Callait. Dave is able to do different projects at once because he is mainly a songwriter and producer these days. Also, i think the reason Dave hasn't directly answered the question about whether this is his or Stevie's album is because it is a collaboration album with the two of them and he doesn't want to "spoil" the surprise yet.
