i do hope you are right about the album and Stevie finally deciding to join in, but i suspect they'll just be finishing the world tour through the end of 2015. if SN adds her contributions to that FM album, maybe it could be during the summer break that they usually seem to take from touring... that is if we take the FM timeframe from things that both LB and SN said about possibly going back to their respective solo stuff in 2016.

don't know whether that's been reported here, but Mick said at DC m&g that they might just put that album out as LB solo album. of course, considering Say You Will didn't come out as LB solo album and had just 4 out of Rumours 5 members, why would this next one with 4 out of 5 Rumours era FM members be LB solo album is completely beyond any logic and reason.

Just put it out as a Lindsey and Christine album, featuring John and Mick. Sorry, Stevie.

It would seem if it were to be released as an LB solo album it would not contain Christine-penned songs (unless everything they did is a cowrite-- but all interviews said she wrote plenty of her own stuff and sent him demos to work on-- that would make him arranger/producer but her the writer) which is a shame-- her material should see the light of day and whatever format they appear in should have her name attached and not be buried on an LB album under his name (FM presumes all of the writers and doesn't highlight any writer's name on the cover so that's fair). Again I don't mean her actual co-writes with LB (if she's ok with being a featured player on a Lindsey headlined album for their cowritten stuff, so be it) but rather her own stuff she brought in for FM.

It sounds in any case like they don't want to wait on Stevie to tack her sh*t on and drag this all out forever. I love that they are considering putting out a de facto FM album without her. Calling it a LB album or a Travelling Dingleberries album or whatever avoids the legal sh*tstorm of putting out an official FM album w/out her while actually putting out an FM album w/out her. I say bravo to them!
