My whole point with sticking my opinion into this thread repeatedly is I keep seeing people say they think this whole project will be done in a couple of months. That's just not realistic. Stevie seems to almost always have a major personnel shakeup when she records. Just look at TISL for example... how many incarnations did that go through before it came out? Sheryl Crow, Dallas Austin, John Shanks, etc. It's not just TISL either, look at her track record. RAL went through arguably an even bigger shakeup.I just think people who feel this is a locked in and done proposition with results to be expected quickly are in for a nasty disappointment. I'm not saying I believe Stevie's simply stockpiling demos here... but I think it is important to remember she's worked with her "famous friends" stockpiling demos before. Just think of the Tom Petty "Gypsy" and Tom Petty "Battle Of The Dragon" (both atrocious, by the way! ). I think we probably will see an album out of these sessions with Dave, but I think it's entirely too premature to start guessing anything about the end product, what it will be, when it will be released, who it will be with, etc.

Excellent points. In our excitement we all may be jumping the gun and stretching reality as far as the time it takes to do an album, especially when Stevie is involved. And Dave himself did not confirm that this is a "Stevie + Dave album", but it was the Eurythmics News Facebook page (which is probably equivalent to nickslive blogspot). So i totally see your point in just going with what we have, and not taking the information we are receiving and imagining up all these scenarios and release dates.

I do think that Stevie and Dave are going to stick this one out together, the whole way through. They are working so quickly that it looks like something really solid is coming together. And according to Carissa Couch's myspace page, she is doing a photoshoot with Stevie on April 11th, so maybe the process is going faster than we all have expected, but until i hear more news about that i'm not going to jump to any conclusions.
