Anne Rice should write Stevie in as a witch queen of some kind in a new Mayfair Witches book.

well, she had a vampire as a rock star, she could have a witch or priestess as one...

Anne Rice would be the right person to write about Rhiannon.

This is super cool!! As soon as I heard the song, I had tried to email Anne , through her website (I do not have Facebook), but, there were so many tornadoes going through, I couldn't get an email out.

I think Stevie will be thrilled when she hears Anne wrote this.

...there is a longing in the that song that would make her homesick. The song definitely evokes that.

Whoa, that's a really good point.

This is soooo awesome!!!!!!!

That's really cool. "The oaks of uptown & the twilight sky over the Garden District, & the breeze off the river."

I wish Rice had written the words for the song. It would have been amazing.

You really think that's better than:

"I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads, I wanna wear feathers and lace..."

Oh, man, nobody can pull you into a world like Anne Rice. However, I think Stevie's lyrics are just perfect.

"Garden District" is so romantic, oh it's so soulful.

Almost as good as cellar door.

Cool that Anne heard "New Orleans" and seems to like it.Definitely the big surprise on the album IMO.This song sounds like a timeless Stevie classic .

On Bourbon Street you see
People puking and they pee
I remember it all
Trash was everywhere
I tried not to fall...

not sure about the Bourbon St. reference as it's the most commercial-t-shirt shop- fratbar-hustler-strip club section of NOLA! waaaaaaaaaaaay too commercial and cheesy to evoke Stevie's magic! i guess she put that lyric in there because Royal street, with its art galleries and antique shops just isn't as well known to a national/international audience. i just don't see Stevie on Bourbon St. unless she popped into the Pub to have a drink with me!

Yeah, I was disappointed all she really sang about in the song was the Quarter, Bourbon St, etc. There's sooo much more to N.O. than that. Give me Magazine St over Bourbon St any day.
