Enquirer article about Tribute Album

I could certainly see her recording an album of her Mom's fav songs, songs which make her think of her Mom, etc.

I'm with louie onthis. Perhaps a covers album but with an updated version of Silver Springs to close, since the song is so linked with Stevie's mother. Personally, I always link the song to Lindsey though and can't imagine another version that the 2 we already have but these things are subjective I suppose.

Not sure if it's fitting for a tribute to her mother but I still say Stevie should cover Jackson Browne's These Days.

Anyone have the actual article from the Enquirer?

When she says a 'Tribute' album, I get the idea that it's and album in tribute to her mother.

^^^ Yes that's what im thinking too, sounds like Stevie has in mind to include her Mothers favorites, released( Silver Springs) & unreleased demos , most probably Touched by an Angel triggered this whole great tribute idea to her Mum Bless her.

Singer Stevie Nicks is reportedly recording a new solo album as a tribute to her late mother.
Barbara Nicks died in Arizona at the age of 84, with her famous daughter by her side, on 28 December (11).
The Fleetwood Mac star later spoke out about the devastating loss, admitting, "She supported me and all of my dreams. She was the one that made it all possible."
And now the Landslide singer is set to remember her mum by composing a record in her honour, according to the National Enquirer.
A source says, "Stevie always finds something positive in the worst situations, and no one's surprised at her decision to write a tribute album to her mum.
"While sitting at Barbara's bedside, she recalled the tremendous influence her mother had on her life... Stevie has been writing constantly and wants to have the tribute album out by summer."

This is amazing news. Not sure what to think about it. Stevie has a tendency to proclaim things that don't come to fruition. In this time of her grief, she has her best intentions at heart. We'll see.

Writing is definitely Stevie's outlet for stress....I hope this is true!
It could be a healing experience for her with the result of something beautiful to show for it.

[TrueFaith77]

It reads to me like it's about new songs (she's been writing a lot this article or the other one says).

Also, we don't know how much work she's done over the past year writing songs or recording demos... that stage could be mostly done with now the need to express some feelings about her mom's passing.

Plus, above all things, she needs to outdo Lindsey's output!

As for the Enquirer, they had been reporting on John Edwards' love child forever before it finally broke through the msm (i.e., when it was most advantageous to BHO). MOst tantalizing are those stories that never break through the MSM (e.g., Larry Sinclair).

I don't buy it for a second. Stevie has NEVER written, recorded and released a BRAND new album that fast ever! Not to mention she has said that she wants to continue promoting In Your Dreams this spring and summer. I just really don't see this happening. My guess is someone probably over heard her say "My next album will be dedicated to my mom"
Also the article refers to Stevie's mom as her "mum" which is an English term for mother. I highly doubt you will be seeing a new album from Stevie this year.

Don't forget there were actually interviews conducted about the "Rumours" anniversary edition with bonus material and all these wonderful things that never materialized. Also the "Live In Australia" album that never came to light. The "Tribute" album is not happening anytime soon, if at all.

Good points! Also, take into account throughout history Stevie has talked about many projects she planned on doing. Most of them have never gone beyond talking.

Yeah I didn't actually read the printed article, I've read the exact same story though from other sources on the net and they used the word "mum". This same story (almost verbatim) has been posted several places.

[Josh2003]

Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't.

Maybe the Enquirer has a source who is close to Stevie and company, maybe it does not.

Maybe Stevie did say all this...but we also know that, if Stevie had followed through with everything she said she wanted to do, we'd have had, for many years now, the Goldfish/Ladybug book, her book of poetry/artwork, the Rhiannon movie, etc...those were all things she said she wanted to put out within the year after "announcing" them.

Maybe she is truly moved to do this for her mother, and has been hit with such motivation and creativity that she does pump out a new album in the next few months and independently releases it or releases it through Dave's label (he has a label, right?).

Anything is possible, although I'm not necessarily putting a lot of weight into it.

[seekerj]

Ok, but when did her mom become her "mum"? Is this the Dave influence? Is she going through a phase where she thinks she actually IS English, like Madonna did?

"Baby, baby, baby, baby... you CONT save me now..."

"but you CONT find your way home"
