Too Far From Texas...........

Would vastly prefer a full album of orchestral tear-inducing emotive ballads. She can really sing, and it shows on the ballads. She can really write a song, and it shows on the ballads.

I like when Linda Ronstadt did with the Nelson Riddle Orc.

Yes, but her own ballads, not necessarily old standards. Although I love At Last, for sure.

I still think that she could front the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band and do a really good blues album. Sure it probably wouldn't sell, but since when is that a problem?

She just needs to do something, anything, that gets away from the blandness of her music these days...

Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that Stevie should record all-country album. It could contain her renditions of country standards or original, self-written material. The one thing I'm sure of is that I don't want her to record the album in the vein of Rod Stewart's "Great American Songbook". Who wants to listen to the same songs again and again? And going back to country...there was a time in my life when I hated this type of music. But with time I learned to appreaciate it and now I know that it's the style that Stevie could explore a bit more than one, two songs per album. Her voice suits country arrangements and instrumentations perfectly. If there's anything that has potential of bringing her Grammy Award then it is Country album Hope it will materialize soon!

Really? I mean I can't bring myself to listen to those albums (though I love Rod) but of the four albums, he went platinum a total of about 7 times in the US alone plus picked up a Grammy.

You can't argue with the success he's had with them. Don't even worry about a country album, Stevie could just re-record those Great American Songbook albums. She has the voice to do them.

Stevie can put out a country compilation CD right now.

Here are my pics:

That’s Alright
Affairs of the Heart
After the Glitter Fades
Leather and Lace
Too From Texas
My Heart
Crying in the Night
Garbo
Rose Garden
Playing in God’s Garden
Landslide
The Highwayman
Destiny
For What It’s Worth
Are You Mine? (with Billy Burnette)
Red River Valley (With Chris Isaak)
The Second Time


Any other Stevie country songs you guys can think of? Demos even?

Indeed, she has a voice to do it but I'm not the one who will buy it I heard many albums like that by many talented people like: Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Cyndi Lauper, Tony Bennett, Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, Dionne Warwick, Natalie Cole, Al Jarreau, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Bette Midler, Bryan Ferry...and so on...There's too much of this kind of stuff...It's getting boring. How many orginal arrangements of "I'll Be Seeing You" or "You Go To My Head" can be recorded? For me recording this type of music means going shortcuts, only for the sake of quick money.

It would be great if Stevie would do a Blues cd with Fleetwood Mac where FM started as a blues band.

I think she could do a really great album of standards, her voice is in great shape, nowadays..
Most of her demos sound country, and thats a good thing-its what she was raised on by her grandfather.
I really think her voice sounds better than it has, in a long time. Its much better than it was when she recorded SYW with Fleetwood Mac. Not sure why, maybe because she had just came off several solo tours.
I'm grateful that she is still giving us her music, she is at the top of her game artistically.
I'm really impressed with her new found zest for her art and life in general.
