I agree. I think artists today are slaves to the record companies...if what they do is commercial and can make tons and tons of money, the record companies will push their albums...if not, they are basically stuck between a rock and a hard place. I imagine Stevie is just as creative as always...she just isn't getting support from the industry because 1) she doesn't make what is considered popular music today and 2) there is a factor of ageism involved. Imagine how difficult it is for a 61 year old woman to compete with 20 something girls who walk around practically naked all the time and are in the tabloids every day...even if she is far superior to (at least) most of them.
