new album/tour or nothing?

I suspect and hope 2010 is going to be a year for Stevie & Lindsey, but esp. Stevie to begin building upon some artistic vision for what is next. We're already beginning to see an example of this w/ Stevie's recent song collaboration w/ Dave Stewart. So I see Stevie & Lindsey both writing and recording demo's for what will either be new solo recordings or a new FM cd to come out this fall (wishful thinking) or more likely Spring/Summer 2011 in time for a final big tour.

We all know that Stevie was not crazy about the way SYW turned out. She fought against it being a double disc, who she wanted to mix the CD, The sequencing of the songs on the CD, & was not crazy about a few of Lindsey's songs or the way some of her's turned out. I think letting her title the CD was a consolation prize.

They made alot of $$$ on the "Unleashed" greatest hits tour, which by & large was playing it safe by Stevie's insistence & testing the vibe of the band. The tours success gives them some breathing room to test their artistic opportunities. So unless Stevie gets more of what she feels is needed on the next FM record i.e., an outside co-producer and more creative control, I think we will see her record a solo CD.
