A response to promoting IN YOUR DREAMS. Why?

[On Ice]

I love In Your Dreams, it is Stevie's most consistently good album in terms of writing and singing that we've seen since her awesome performances on Fleetwood Mac's Mirage. It is a long album, but that's alright (pardon the pun), it's so great to hear her singing her heart out. That being said, I don't think Stevie is any better or worse than her peers in terms of how you gauge the success of this album. Other examples of albums approaching career bests that didn't register on what passes for radio these days: Peter Frampton, Thankyou Mr Churchill, is pure perfection but didn't register a bit on radio, Heart: Red Velvet Car, some great songs, performed professionally, one of the band's best, but not a hit; The Doobie Brothers: released a really good album, no notice; Steve Miller Band, Robert Plant, Blondie etc, all within Stevie's league of 70's rock stars, same thing. So Stevie (or Lindsey) are not alone in this, the others who have done just as good a work as Stevie, have also not been hits. Putting it into perspective though, all of these albums are "hits" for we fans and that's really what matters. At this point in Stevie's life/career, having big hits are just not going to happen, we have to appreciate it for what it is and not worry about that. She's had more than her fair share of success so who cares really if the radio plays her songs, we can choose to play them.
