There is one potential change and if it comes to pass it is a significant one.Never before has she had her solo producer produce her songs for a Fleetwood Mac album.If that happens it would be unprecedented .

That would be unprecedented, yes. But we don't know if that's the case. All we know is that he's working on a solo project with her.

I would think if there are any songs lifted from those sessions to be included in the new mac record, they would use them as a template and re-record them a la the TISL version of "Thrown Down" versus the "SYW" version.

Just a guess, though. Who knows? Dave could very well become involved in this new FM project.

Don't worry Dave & Stevie will at the very least be co-producing her FM songs...

Stevie was co-produced by John Shanks on one SYW track. I forget which one. So it has happened. Also, it was written recently that Jimmy Iovine went into the studio during the "Mirage" sessions to give his feedback on Stevie's tracks on her behalf.

I definitely forsee that Dave will be co-producing (at a minimum) Stevie's FM songs.

I think Shanks actually coproduced "What's the World Coming to" so not a Stevie song..Had not heard of him working specifically on any of her SYW tracks.

Yes but very much expected and I think Lindsey is OK with it.

This needs to happen...Personally I don't think Stevie's recent FM songs have benefitted greatly from LB's production...

Lindsey brought the Cavier. Stevie brought the green apple splatters.

If her songs are so bad why have they spent 11 years trying to get her to record with them???

She handed the band "Juliet" & "Joan Of Arc", in addition to the others on Tango.

In my opinion, Lindsey did not do anything magnificent or unique with "Twisted" - which is a great composition. It was middle of the road production. Nice & pleasant - kinda like his "EP" material.

Not to mention she handed over the motherload on the SYW project??

So something sure changed?!?

Twisted is best in demo form.

Lindsey's songs were far superior than Stevie's on SYW. Some of them like ilume and Thrown Down were ruined by bad lyrics. Lindsey did a great job with Smile at You...

Joan of Arc - gross. You proved my point.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^joan of arc is an awesome song! Don't know if I want her to do it now tho. It was a perfect fit for tango and now I feel it should just live in demo land for us die hards.

And about SYW, stevie and Lindsey both contributed great songs. My #1 is from Lindsey then the rest of the top 5 are Stevie's songs for me then Lindsey takes the rest of the higher middle songs and Stevie gives probably the 3 worst. So I feel she gives the highs and the lows of the album. Lindsey gives the highest high and the good but no bad. And like Stevie what I just said probably only makes sense to me.

Agreed! I love Joan of Arc. I'd forgotten all about that song. Very haunting...at least the demo was.

As for The Ledge, I'm happy to be a member here. I do appreciate the vast array of opinions. Though I am a Stevie fan first and foremost, I don't take any criticism of her personally, like I once did. I'm probably the most critical person of her anyway! This board, for me, has been a great source of information and insight over the years!
