Stevie Recording A New Album With Dave Stewart Producing In Nashville...

[Johnny Stew]

"Starshine" -- from that snippet, at least -- pretty much sounds exactly the way I'd want it to sound. So I'm excited to hear the entire track.

I cannot wait for this album!

it sounds fine to me ..and I like her vocal..also excited about the song and the album.

[UndoingTheLaces]

With so many video tributes and repostings of her Wild Heart impromtu dressing room performance, I think it would be really cool for her to do a remake of it in that style. And considering she was singing to a demo of Can't Go Back, it would be really cool to hear her and Lindsey do a mash-up of the two songs during the new tour. But oh, I can dream.

thank you Dave Stewart for knowing how to use social media and bringing us into the loop enough to whet our appetites and build some momentum for this album. god knows it wouldn't have happened otherwise.

see I kinda like that version just the way it is… nice and spontaneous and fresh. If it were recorded they would literally rehearse the life out of it

And her voice has changed too much. Why remake stuff that's already wonderful the way it is?

I'd rather she track down the original footage and put it in a collection of bonus materials. With the option of a commentary track like on her videos on Crystal Visions.

You guys are cracking me up! There has been no indication for "Gypsy Beggar".

The song "Gypsy Beggar" (and a host of MANY other songs, book titles, movies, lyrics, etc) merely contain the lyrics, "gypsy soul". Not "Wild Heart, Gypsy Soul". Just simply, "Gypsy soul". Someone on this board got excited and said "Gypsy Beggar" which then got OTHER people excited and now all of a sudden, it's rumoured to be on the album. Don't get me wrong, if it does make it on the record, and they do a great job, I'll be happy...but I just think we all need to stop jumping to conclusions and pulling indefinite/conjectural "facts" out of the air. Just my opinion. Don't stone me, please.

"The Dealer"??? How do we know this one is going to be on the album, Mitzo?

Well we are def getting Starshine!

Thanks for posting this, John!!! I was never fond of the original demo (or outtake, if you will) but based on that tiny sampling, I'm loving the way Stevie's voice sounds! Not sure about the musicality of it yet, but this could be another surprise like "Everybody Loves You", where the initial "tease" was nothing compared the actual, grandiose and awesome version. Here's hoping "Starshine" turns out excellent!!!

No clear indication The Dealer will be included but it is a popular demo on YouTube. Sadly. I am just depressed at hearing that snippet of Starshine and the demo on YouTube. Of all her vault work, what the hell. Never mind me, I am a fan of the more ethereal and obscure Stevie and am yearning for some Forest of the Black Roses and Joan of Arc type things.

[editme2]

"Starshine" isn't among my favorite songs from the vault, but this snippet doesn't sound bad at all. I think Stevie sounds great.

Personally, I hope "Gypsy Beggar" is not one of the songs she's recorded. I've never enjoyed it.

I'd be delighted if "China Doll," "She Loves Him Still," "Julia," "The Dealer," "Love You Enough," "All the Beautiful Worlds," and "Blue Water" make the final cut. Everything else would be cake.

[paleshadow]

I hope "Goldfish and Ladybug" and "The Dance (old fashioned)" aren't on there.

We shouldn't judge the song from a behind-the-scenes clip of a work in progress.
Still, I feel your pain. My same reaction: Starshine? WTF? Granted, it could turn out better than we expect. But still, so many other songs with better potential.

Starshine's lyrics suck. If she actually releases this song, I hope she somehow makes those rubbish lyrics work; perhaps meant to be clever, it is horrendous nonsense.

I think it's so great Dave throws us these little updates, and the 16 or whatever seconds sounded great to me. I'm unfamiliar with the demo. I am just so excited and thankful for this.

I'm afraid some of the older stuff that I love the most (Forest, Joan, Maker) are just out of her range now, and she's picking songs that are more compatible with her voice these days…. I don't think she could sing Forest in the same pitch and with the same "smooth" vocal that she had on the demo, for instance. Not sure it would sound the same with the raspier, deeper voice she has now.. and maybe she doesn't like the way she might have to alter the song.

We'll of course she will not sound the same but she can still make those songs work. I want those songs too. I will be really disappointed if she doesn't do at least Maker of Birds. The snippet of Starshine sounds just like the demo.

How long did it take to release after the 12 days of recording was done.My mind is foggy on that info.LOL......
It must be my age settling in.LOL....

Then again, it's weird to put out a solo album and then go tour with FM. So maybe she's getting the receding all over with and then waiting to release it till after FM has run it's course.

I will be even more shocked if this happens.If she pulls a Beyoncé.

I love the way Starshine sounds the tambo is a nice touch and the vocal sounds great. I still think regardless of what makes the final cut for the album, we're in for a real treat and a bonus disc of some of the better raw stuff and fully fleshed out version of some of these songs would be delightful.
