All the more reason for not touring this year. I hate to say it, but I think a projected release date of Spring 2015 for the Mac album is more than wishful thinking. I'm assuming there are no plans for the band to reconvene in the studio until January 2015 (at the earliest), at which time Stevie's tracks will need to be recorded from scratch. Christine's songs also need to be completed and perhaps Lindsey might have something new to add by then. Stevie also needs to add harmony vocals to Lindsey's and Christine's material. That does not allow a lot of time, given the way this band works. Remember, the eight songs recently recorded by Christine and Lindsey are not finished and I suspect post-production could be a lengthy process.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I think we'll be lucky if the album gets released before the end of 2015.
PS I know this seems unlikely, but if Stevie was open to work-shopping her songs with Lindsey and Christine during the tour, this might allow for speedier results in the studio next year. If this occurred, then it's conceivable that the album could be issued mid-2015. I wonder...
