The New Album Thread

Do you mean the promo photo of all 5 of them? Lindsey's just pulling his "I'm a serious artist" face. It's the same one he used on the cover of Seeds We Sow.

The fact that they are recording in Village Recorders is great news. That's not fooling around, that' serious recording. But come on Stevie, you are not sure how or when you want to record? I thought you were a mad songwriter and had hundreds of songs? Christine is back like you wanted, stop being a DIVA and get into the studio.

I really hope a new album can get released sometime during the tour late this year. I'm sure if some songs are taken out of the set to make room for Chris's songs they can do 3 or 4 new songs also.

I still don't see an album emerging this year. My guess is they are going to capitalize on the 40 years of the Rumours line up next year. That will in turn give them continued momentum to keep touring behind a new album.

Like I mentioned in another thread, I bet the band is going to use this tour money to reimburse themselves for their studio expenses. Yes- they don't get paid until after the shows are completed, but no doubt, the band's accountants/managers/etc are pushing them to recover the costs of recording. The days of the band receiving large advance offers from record companies is undoubtedly over. Plus, they can assure perspective record companies that they are worthy of being signed by pointing to their advance tour sales figures.

If no new album this year (that I still hope could happen) They should re release expanded versions of Mirage and Tango in the Night

While I'm not surprised Stevie is taking her time, there IS time to be taken. They still have to do Christine's material, and probably need to add finishing touches to Lindsey's material. At this stage, Stevie probably wants to hear the others' material before she submits anything because she wants to give them something appropriate that will sound good in the context of the album.

As for the how, I think that also depends on how she feels Christine's songs turn out. If she's happy with the results, then maybe she'll go with Lindsey. If not, maybe she'll go with somebody else.

The one thing not in question is "if" Stevie will give anything to them, and that's a positive.

On With The Show Tour = The Dance 2, minus any new material, featuring performers who are 17 years older.

New Album = Rumours, Special Edition Rerelease Diamond Edition with outtakes of outtakes of Butter Cookie featuring liner notes written in crayon by Chris Nicks.

Please prove me wrong FM!

This is the first real hope that we'll have a new album. Touring last year, the 'success' of the songs with the fans and general public who attended seem to be neutral to high, a tour for Christine to get back into the swing of things and then a proper album after a full year of prepping, legwork and getting material together. 2015 is the best time to drop it, if any.

Yeah,I thought about that after the fact. He's always been Mr-serious-face.

I thought Lindsey had his own studio. Why do they need to spend so much money to record?

Sure, what's one more year when it's been 27 years since you last recorded an album together?

Seriously, these 5 people really need to live in the present.

The Album needs to drop during the tour in 2014. They can continue to tour into 2015 to promote it. Let's not forget we are talking about a group in their late 60s/early 70s. The money isn't the issue.
