If Stevie put out a tribute cd for her mom consisting of covers...what are the songs?

mikephxaz · #1 01-12-2012, 12:27 AM

I would love to see her cover...
At Last(Etta)
This Bitter Earth(Dinah Washington)
Wheels (Lone Justice)
Lady Sings the Blues (Billie Holiday)
The First Cut is the Deepest (RS)
If You're Only Lonely
Sky Blue & Black (Jackson Browne)

My dads favorite tune is "At Last"which her moms music era is the same as my mom and dads is.Stevie can get an orchestra and do covers of those old classic numbers.I would love it.

Lone Justice! Great to meet someone else who knows/likes them. This is a great choice of song and I could really imagine Stevie singing it.

Good call on the Jackson Browne track too. I mentioned Stevie doing These Days in another thread.

Of course if they're songs that have a direct link to her mother they may all be older songs, if the Enquirer is to be believed at all of course!

As I've mentioned before, Stevie could knock Cat Stevens's "Wild World" out of the park. I know the lyrics are about a romance, but they seem to fit a daughter leaving home just as well.

None!!!! Stevie has a Volt full of untouched gems, i would rather listen to Stevie's penned songs, than covers any day..

tho id still buy it anyway

It won't be covers. She's apparently composing a new album

Wasn't there a song mentioned by Barbara called "Angels" that Stevie recorded a demo of and gave to her, and she said it was one of her favorites. I imagine that would be on it.

Has she penned songs or just lyrics?

Hey! I'm a big Lone Justice/Maria McKee fan too. But I'd rather have Stevie sing original songs. Unfortunately those songs will probably be remakes of Landslide and Silver Springs -- just what we needed!

lol

If the Enquirer is to be believed at all, it says she's "hoping to write 10 to 15 new songs" and that she's "composing" the album.

Not that they're correct, but if they were, that would mean brand-new, Stevie Nicks-penned songs, not covers or demos (and that she hasn't created them yet).

Of course, we all know how these things progress (or don't)...plans she has made can change radically as they move forward. Her own comments about future projects have not been that reliable either...and grief can be an exhausting process that saps your energy and make you wonder why you're bothering with anything at all.

Great pick! I would love hear her sing that song. It's completely in her style range. The lyrics, simple but impactful, could have been written by her.

WILD WORLD

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm grieving

But if you want to leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
Then, a lot a of nice things turn bad out there

Ooh, baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh, baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
'Cause I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl

But if you want to leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's a lot bad, and beware

Ooh, baby baby it's a wild world...

Hurrah! I love Maria's first 2 albums. Her latermaterial is good too but those first two are something else. Brilliant.

I know we are going off topic, but...

I agree with you. I've been lucky to see her four times, up close, in cool small venues in Portland, OR. Sadly the first time I saw her (You Gotta Sin to Get Saved - a great album) she was really sick, and could only get through about five songs. She apologized, but, understandably, it was a very short show.
