Mind you, Little Big Town are no better than LA - both are slick, by-numbers, generic whores for hire.

At least those 2 groups actually have people who can sing - unlike a lot of other current groups / artists in the genre.

She has a hit single titled Call Me Maybe that Stevie has spoken about that she enjoys singing on her treadmill. It's a pretty pop song that even you would like.

Stevie said "this is the year of Fleetwood Mac" and so she's doing 2 shows with Dave Grohl, 1 solo show in Palm Springs and performing with Lady A in Nashville. She'll prob have Sharon fill in for her at the FM rehearsals.

Stevie's also performing at a corporate gig for Remax sometime soon. Who knows what other corporate gigs she's got lined up between Feb and early March before her Indio Show She could have spent January or Feb releasing the In Your Dreams doc and doing some publicity for it.

I thought she couldn't get distribution for it?

Agreed. I can think of a hell of a lot worse options for Stevie to pair up with for Crossroads. I'm just glad she didn't get paired with a morally reprehensible redneck like Toby Keith.

I don't think anybody here really knows. Last we heard from Dave via twitter was that it was in Stevie's mgmts hands and out of his. It was just wishful thinking on my part that she could've spent Jan through Feb releasing her doc and doing a little publicity for it. More wishful thinking is that she'll rub elbows & slip a copy of her doc to distributers while in Sundance and spark an inevitable release.

Ha. Funny to imagine. I'm not sure that Rod Stewart insulted Stevie, but some of us got that vibe. Well, if she began not wanting to work with Rod, I couldn't even imagine how disastrous things would be with Keith.

I like much of Keith's music though -- not the "patriotic" stuff, but the rest. That is what upset me about the Chicks. They were wrongfully censored, but if they had their way, people they don't like (Reba and Toby) would be censored. I realized they were victims who would victimize others if given a chance.

It's as if LA took the superficial elements of the FM sound and lobotomized away all of the drama, intensity and soul, and added a pinch of twangy guitars to appeal to country radio. Yuck. I would much rather see Stevie do a collaboration with Carly Rae Jepsen. Indeed, it would be an utter sh**show, but at least it would have come from a real place of genuine admiration (on Stevie's part).

Yes, and you KNOW they'll sing Landslide. Gag.

Oh no. I hope not. Since the Dixie Chicks have already done it, I hope they choose something else. Please.

Yes. More likely.Its one of FM will known tunes .What kills me how come Landslide was not release and a number 1 tune on the charts when the self titled album was released.I must of been sick that day while I was in Fleetwood Mac 101 class for the reasoning how come the tune did not get released and charted.

I'm glad the Chicks got the tune on the charts.

I like Toby's tunes also his voice.

Good point. Towards that end, she could sing with them on one of her IYD songs. That would be surprising.
