You have a valid point there BDL - let's hope all the recorded songs do get released!

I'd forgotten about that - yes they considered about 25 songs didn't they? I would be happy for those tracks to go the Mac's way. Seriously, I'd prefer she record all the 'vault' songs before any new (potentially mediocre) tracks see the light of day.

That raises a good point; perhaps part of their process involved deciding which songs were most appropriate for the Mac, and which were best suited for Stevie's solo album. If so, that also helps explain Lindsey's prior comments regarding Stevie trying to figure out how and in what way she was planning to contribute to the FM album.

Some of her "vault" songs are mediocre. But Dave knows how to polish turds, or least make sound choices.

Fair enough, not all of the 'vault' demos are brilliant, but there is a consistency that is missing from her recent work. I also concede that Stevie's faultless vocals during the mid 1970's to early 1980's period most probably elevated average material to greater heights (eg "Starshine").

I hope this is the case. I imagine that if this is the strategy, it would make sense to pursue some of the stranger, darker material (eg "24 Karat Gold", "Baby Doll", "Gypsy Beggar" etc) for Stevie's solo album and perhaps reserve some of the more straightforward, upbeat songs like "The Dealer" for Fleetwood Mac. That might explain what some people have been speculating upon as odd choices for the solo album.

Has anyone else noticed stevie is wearing the same shirt over and over and over? I like her shoulders showing....but the question is, were the photos all taken the same day and Dave just keeps posting them over time to make himself self important? or is stevie having laundry issues? Or has she become the crazy old lady who wears the same shirt everyday? Or does she have 10 of the same shirt and is going through a " I wanna wear the exact same thing everyday" stage?

Phew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately noticed that! She's been wearing that top in a ton of pictures lately - both Dave's pics and candids. I'm guessing she's in one of those "uniform" stages.

I bet it's not the same. She has more than one.

it's her MO. wear the same thing for a few years and then wear something else for a few years and then repeat. Remember the ruffle dress that she wore non stop on stage a few years ago?

She probably has at least 10 of them...most of which are black but maybe she has one in navy, maybe even in brown....oh and we know she has a similar shirt in burgundy.

I'm sure they are sent to the dry cleaners but I have this image in my head of Karen hand washing the "uniform" shirt every night, wringing it out, and hanging it to dry...every. Single. Night.

I bet she says "just how many black outfits can one get to wear?"
She doesn't want a color, she doesn't want to make an effort, she doesn't care!"
