It's not as if she has some grand, sweeping ,well-thought out plan and story line to build a concept album. I can't image she could achieve a feasibly cohesive narrative that would rise to that occasion. And do we really need another version of Rhiannon? It's yet another cannibalism of past glory.

It's understandable to romanticize about the idea. But I see no substantial ground. I doubt the the absence of any of these few songs on her new album is because she is saving them for some future project. I think she has moved beyond them.

She has indeed spoken about it on multiple occasions, and previously noted that she had recorded and mastered a good number of them for inclusion in some sort of project. In various interviews she has confirmed a number of these songs - when I have more time I can compile. She also referenced her Rhiannon project as recently as earlier this year.
