I think what is interesting here is that she talked about being in the studio with Lindsey, but didn't mention John or Mick. And considering that Lindsey was bouncing around Tennessee for most of last week with just a guitar and a laptop, and they dusted off an old Buckingham Nicks song to boot, I suspect these are BN tracks as opposed to FM tracks. This makes sense. Once you start getting the old band back together, it usually involves record companies, managers, contracts, politics, etc. And the "Fleetwood Mac" brand dictates that the recordings would have to be of a certain level of production comparable to other Fleetwood Mac songs. If Stevie and Lindsey record a handful of low-key, unadorned new songs under the BN or "Stevie and Lindsey" moniker, they don't have to deal with all of that "big machine" baggage. Plus "Fleetwood Mac" simply does not do EPs.

I kinda doubt that these are being recorded in connection with a Buckingham Nicks reissue, especially since there has been no mention of this in any of their recent press. My prediction: *IF* these new recordings ever see the light of day, they will be released under the "Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham" moniker as a 5-track iTunes-only EP ala One Man Show.
