Dave mentions Stevie's "forthcoming album" in new Billboard article

Following the dirty things she's said about her last recordings with Fleetwood Mac, I can't imagine she'd want to roll the best work of her life into Fleetwood Mac. It could all be an elaborate ruse to fluster Lindsey Buckingham, but I'd hope Stevie isn't that childish in her 60s. To me it seems more likely that they're all just trying to properly set the stage for the next Fleetwood Mac project by being involved in each other's current solo works. I think they all badly want to right the course after Say You Will, and they know they have to establish personal trust to do that.

It's hard to tell if she's been insecure or just plain unsatisfied with the sales of TISL & SYW. I suspect a bit of both. Industry people & management telling her why bother recording new material with all the pirating & her conscience wondering if she could artistically top TISL. But alas she is now in a place (according to one of her Aug. interviews) where she is on record saying she's not all that concerned if it sells a ton or not - which bodes well for creativity. Hauling millions of tour $$$ from 03' through 09' certainly did not hurt either. Ultimately, I think Stevie needs this to be her time to shine as a solo artist and wrap a perfect bow around her solo career per say...in order for her to be happy recording with FM one more time.

What Warner Bros is probably planning for the marketing campaign is two-fold: not only is this Stevie's first solo album in 10 years, but it also marks the 30th anniversary of her debut solo album. These are two remarkable feats and I'm sure Warner is trying to put all of the pieces together for a successful marketing strategy.

Another possible scenario is that Stevie is currently in the process of having the album released under Dave's label, WME. It could explain why Dave is saying mid to late spring is the new projected timeframe for release, and it could also explain why he's being so coy at the moment.

Remember Dave tweeted that Warner Brothers wanted a duet with Stevie from his album on her album also? Well to me that says her label is WB.

When Mick says this album is one of the Top Two things Stevie has done, I'm wondering what #1 is.

I would have to assume he means within her solo career? For someone who yaps so darn much, Mick is chronically vague .

Agreed... I guffawed at that myself! Good grief, and can you imagine THAT grunting over you?!

Thank God most of us have fantastic senses of humor... it's what keeps me coming back year after year!

Lots of planning goes into releasing a CD when it's done thru the major labels. Not only must they devise a marketing campaign, but chances are good they are still developing art work and the overall package. Plus, the artist could very well ask for time to rest, or lose weight or get ready for the onslaught that often comes with a new release and tour.

You just don't record an album one day and release it the next. Even Dave isn't doing that, and he's on his own label! Many, many people become part of the marketing+advertising team, and that's not to mention getting everyone and everything being scheduled strategically so the rollout is smooth and seamless. I doubt WB will pass up the opportunity to totally capitalize on this new work if it seems like a winner. Chances are very slim they'll ever get another solo CD from her (at least not in the pop/rock genre.)

Thank God.

In 2001 Elton John came out with Songs from the West Coast. It was one of the best albums of his career, yet, it hardly sold anything. I hope they find a way to market her. Even if she has a bunch songs that sound like hits, they are really going to have to push this album.

THAT just gave me the image of a giant board room with a long table with Helena Bhonam Carter at the end dressed in full queen of hearts regala, shouting.
