Ahh Makes Sense one written in 1995 (Hard Advice) and one in 96 (twisted)

I think maybe it's just that old photos are fun and the songs and photos, both from a time gone by, go together. Old songs, old photos, old memories.

I'm really starting to be in love with the tracklist. This is the first album that I've been this excited about in a very long time. I wish they would hurry up and open up pre-orders in the US so I can buy The Dealer and listen to it about 90 times in a row, lol.

Not to be a Debbie-downer, I'm not very happy. No rhiannon songs, Julia , Joan of arc, space needle or love u enough or Have No Heart. Instead Mabel Normans which is not even a song and Starshine. And if Hard Advice is what I think it is then gross. Only a couple songs I liked made it on the a album

Sorry people, feeling down

I think most people are a little disappointed about the Rhiannon songs. But maybe she's saving them for the FM album. It might have been worse to only get one of them, right?

Cheer up! You never know? What if Stevie makes your least favorites songs into songs that you end up loving? What if she does a whole "Rhiannon Project" album later on that just blows everything else out of the water?

I HATED the demo of "Secret Love" for decades, but her version on IYD is incredible and now it's one of my favorite songs!

Don't dismiss the project yet. Give it at least one or two good "listens".

I think the Rhiannon songs were an all or nothing deal ..I am kind of bummed also about Julia but there are numerous tracks here that I am very excited about and could be real treasures.Sheesh and I thought I was a real glass half empty person

Why dismiss it before you've even heard it? Be grateful for what you're getting, even if it's not what You wanted. It's your choice to wallow in pity. These are the songs Stevie chose to record. Deal with it. I was hoping for Julia and Dial the Number. Oh well! Have No Heart was a loooooooooong shot!

I must have heard the "Mabel Normand" demo many years ago and just not retained the memory, but recently dug it up again due to a recent discussion on this forum. Well I couldn't believe what I was hearing and had to turn it off before it was finished because it truly was an assault to the ears. I'm just wondering what must have been going through Stevie's and Dave's minds when they chose to record it? Could we have just heard an embryonic demo and perhaps it did eventually evolve into an actual song? Is it more than just a coke-fuelled rant?

No it sucks she goes from talking about Mable Normand and then makes the song about herself. Pretty Gross.

I don't remember if we got the tracklist for the Rumours bonus disc before it was released, but I'm just laughing thinking of what people must have speculated that Mic the Screecher was about.

Mabel Normand could have been finalized into a refreshing song or maybe it could be just a segue of sorts, giving us a little taste of the past, like Kiss and Run did.
