I always say without Stevie, there would be no Fleetwood Mac. She has constantly promoted the band. Got their stuff on Glee and done the talk show circuit.

Now She is doing the David Grohl thing and Crossroads and god only knows what else she will pop up in to get word of mouth of Fleetwood Mac's tour out there.

Here is my fear. Remember the Taylor Swift debacle. Taylor and Stevie were both terrible, but I think Stevie had a great excuse. She came off a big tour. Her voice was flat and she was tired. I hope she doesn't sound like that with Lady Antebellum. She has to sound great. I'm sure that is why she wasn't picked by other artist for Crossroads.

Not to mention the fact, that the Dixie Chicks controversy shot up just when Landslide hit #7 on the billboard charts and then it sank like a stone. Guilty by association. She seems a little cursed when it comes to the country scene.

Country music fans respect older artists and they are loyal and spend money. She needs get more of those fans.

I hope they do That's Alright and After the Glitter Fades. I would be happy.

And you know it would almost certainly be Cheaper than Free

Agreed..but is is more likely they will perform Leather and Lace IMO since there is a male singer in the band.Landslide is a given of course.

It's morbid thoughts like that that made Heathcliff cut off his ear.

I...would celebrate that decision. It would be far preferable to hearing yet another Landslide publicity stunt.

[michelej1]

For her song from IYD I would nominate Moonlight.

Now, for an FM song, I would prefer Straight Back, but I know they will do one of her hits. So, I would like Gypsy.

For their song, I think she would be good on Love Don't Live Here, but I guess they will actually be showcasing their new album, so that's not going to happen.

Maybe Steve Real will tag along or Charles Kelley
Dave Haywood have a crack at it.

I agree on the country fans with the older country artists.I love tuning in the Grand ole Opry every Tuesday Friday and Saturday to hear a 3 to four hour show with my favorites like Loretta Lynn ,Connie Smith ,Little Jimmy Dickins any other classic artists plus hear some of the new artists like Lady A perform on the show.

I agree on the song picks.Plus I can add FWIW from IYD Cheaper then Free.

Stevie does more promoting then any other artist I know.

Maybe she could crack a deal with Walmart like some other artists have done.I can see Stevie with the Walmart blue overalls pitching IYD DVD for $15.00.


I do have a feeling this upcoming CMT Crossroad will be a hit and the show will get released on DVD.I will keep me fingers crossed.I hope CMT will promote the crap out of it like their other shows.

When I get a official air date I will have to get my extended cable hooked back up.

I love Moonlight.That would be great.I would love to hear Gypsy countrified.

For Lady A tunes I would love to hear Stevie sing any of them.

Yes. I think they were sold through Wal*Mart.

[OooMissionary]

The year of Fleetwood Mac? I'm starting to think this is the year of Stevie.

Sound City Film
Sound City Shows (Surely one will be filmed)
CMT Crossroads
Oprah's Master Class
Fleetwood Mac Tour
Promotion for the Fleetwood Mac tour
New Fleetwood Mac Songs (Minute possibility of an album)
Maybe even the release of her IYD Doc

She gets around!

I personally am excited about this. I saw Lady A in concert and they were really great and had awesome harmonies. Not sure what all the negativity is about here. I would have actually preferred this would be with Miranda Lambert but guess that isnt happening

I agree .I never got a chance to see Lady A live because it seems like they tour at the same time as Stevie does so I have to work around her tour dates.Of course I'm not gong to dump Stevie/FM for anybody else.LOL .

In the meantime I would love to see that Stevie Team up with Highway 101 with Paulette Carlson on a CMT Country Crossroads..They will be almost like twins up on stage.
