Pause+Play is the industry listing for upcoming releases. I've followed them for years, and they are as accurate as can be. They list Stevie's CD being release 3/1/2011. They also list Lindsey's CD out May 2011.

I'm not questioning that site's accuracy, as I have seen it cited before...but do we know where they get their info? What I'm saying is, is it at all possible that that 3/1 date is just grabbed from what Stevie has said in interviews (which I, personally, do not put a lot of confidence in...)?

They also list Christine McVie as having an album coming out sometime in the future...

One thing I noticed tho is that Stevie doesn't seem to have much competition that week!

Not that competition really matters, but both Lucinda Williams and Ron Sexsmith are releasing CD's on the same day and they have HUGE fan followings. And there could be other big names without release dates who decide to release their albums on that day as well. Who knows? Just getting a new Stevie album is good enough for me. I could care less about competition or sales. Whatever happens will happen.

I PRAY that March 1st is the date...but I still won't believe it until it's in my hands on that day!

Pause and Play has always been a mixed bag. They have inside sources, but they'll also give popular internet rumors the same credence.

Re: Lucinda Williams. If Stevie & Lucinda did go head to head with their albums in 2011, it shouldn't surprise anyone if Lucinda ends up outselling Stevie in Week 1.

Oh, that's pure nuttiness. On what planet is Lucinda Williams more popular/recognized than Stevie? I couldn't name a Lucinda Williams tune, let alone hum one, if my life depended on it. Also, her most recent album in 2008 sold 35,000 copies in its first week- before the big financial meltdown and back when music was still selling somewhat. It won't happen again for her. There is no doubt in my mind that Stevie will sell at least 50,000 in the first week. I'd bet my house on it.

I Agree ^^ This is a long-awaited return for Stevie. And much anticipated among her hard core/cult fan base. I don't deny that Lucinda has her core fans but she is nowhere near the star that Stevie is, despite the fact that she stole the Grammy for female rock performance from Stevie back in 01', but Lucinda unlike Stevie has been consistently a music critics darling

Also when TISL came out, it was at the height of file-sharing/napster etc. her sales as well as many other artists suffered due to this.I have no doubt that both TISL & SYW would both be platinum if not for rampant file sharing in the early 00's.

So I concur with HejiraNYC, Stevie should have no problem shifting 50K her 1st week of release, which would be a little under half of what TISL sold in it's first week 10 yrs ago. I think that is doable and realistic, esp. if the record is a great as Stevie and others are saying.

What?
What?
What?

Unless VH1 comes along and saves the day,
she'll be lucky to get into the teens.

House keys please.

March 1st. hmmmmm, lets friggin hope so!! If we can just get this album released next year I will be one happy camper! All the talk lately of Stevie CD and now Lindsey's CD and maybe a FM CD gets me a bit worried! I hope they dont decide to throw it all together and make it a double FM CD

Who is Lucinda Williams? Also, I think Stevie can definitely sell 50,000 the first week, especially given proper promotion. The whole 30 years since Bella Donna thing will help that process. Don't forget the Twilight song, which will get the album off it's feet. However I don't see a single having any impact at all. There just isn't an audience to gear it toward because playing it on classic rock stations will only attract the people that know her anyway.

Lucinda Williams is an alt-country singer/songwriter.
