I believe Stevie had this planned in 2013 (before Chris came back), as she mentioned in many IYD doc Q&A's in 2012 - that she had already written new songs and had sent them off to Dave. I thrilled to see her back working with Dave and looking so happy & cute!!

I believe that too. She said she had written a bunch of new material. Songs about her mother's death and stuff. I doubt that stuff would be appropriate for Fleetwood Mac.

She is 65. She knows she has limited time.

I agree...I have posted the same thing in another thread...

Now that we know Stevie is working on a record with Dave again it raises a new set of questions...If Stevie had all this planned out last year I would think Mick knew Stevie was going to tour with FM in 2013 and then work on solo Stevie in at least 2014 and perhaps 2015 as well...Now at some point last year Mick sensed Christine wanted to return or could be swayed into returning and when this happened the $$$$$ flashed before his eyes and my guess is he was hopping Christine's return would get Stevie to drop her solo plans and jump on board for another tour and a record...If Stevie had all this planned out last year then I don't blame her one bit for not changing her plans especially if she's made binding commitments...

Yes, it probably wouldn't be literal like you would never know what Illume and EO17 are about. It takes the writer back to something they were doing at the time, running up the stairs and down the hall, but for the listener, it isn't a song about anyone dying. Jane on the other hand sounds like what it's about .

Michele

she is writing with Dave, and her songs are more clear

Seeing Stevie in the studio with Dave again only strengthens my belief that whatever Stevie does with FM Dave will be heavily involved...

Actually this situation seems unique to me. For Mirage/Wild Heart, the band did the album and a tour, and then ALL of them went to work on solo projects. I don't think they were enjoying each other all that much at that point. For TISL/SYW, Stevie's album was coming out and of course she would tour as she had for every one of her previous albums. Ever since she began a solo career, the band has always scheduled recording sessions knowing they can work for a while without Stevie and that she can join them later. This is the first time she has started a project when Fleetwood Mac needed her (and this is assuming that she isn't doing some FM-related work as we speak, which I suspect she is, if for no other reason than Christine's presence in Nashville).

As I posted earlier she may have had this planned and made commitments before there was any hint of Christine's return...

Yes, that's true. But I was just pointing out that I don't think this scenario has played out before.

I think "Mirage" & "Tango" were both started while Stevie was involved in a solo project...

Yes, she was involved in solo projects that were already underway when Fleetwood Mac convened. She didn't start one after they went into the studio.

I don't think it's that unique. From 1979 to 1989, Stevie was involved 5 Fleetwood Mac albums, including a greatest hits and live album plus 4 solo albums. She is used to juggling projects.

Fleetwood Mac may be the one that started an album knowing full well that Stevie would be starting a solo record at about the same time...

She toured with Petty and Dylan when FM needed her. Yes, her drug rehab needs was beyond her control, but the little side tour wasn't.
