I wouldn't say I'm jumping up and down... but finding out that Stevie's doing nothing but an album full of her famous demos, and is releasing it by October certainly seems like a grand gesture to her fanbase. She's giving us all exactly what we've been clamoring for for eons- a quickly recorded album, and is finally letting some beloved songs see the light of day. What else could we ask for? Plus, this seems to quell my fears of a country album, and the album eating up Fleetwood Mac time. Because it's official now- the album will be out before the new Mac tour begins.

Stevie may be my favorite Mac member, but I'm still a Mac fan first & foremost. I will take a Mac album any day over a solo one. And I won't apologize for that, either. Would I still rather Stevie be in the studio recording with Fleetwood Mac rather than making a solo album? Absolutely. But this is the best possible option besides that...
