I wonder if she stayed true to the original or if these are new and improved versions a la Secret Love?

Michele

Right? I thought we discussed this? No more covers!

I like Cathouse Blues, and I really can't see her changing the idea of that song too much. There might be new verses/instrumentation, but I think it will still basically be the same song. I expect that Mabel Normand must have received a grand restructuring, though. It's so anti-cohesive in it's current state.

Yes. It's been discussed vis a vis "Tom Petty gives a songwriting pep talk." However it was widely assumed "That Made Me Stronger" was Hard Advice. I guess not.

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

Once you listen to it you"ll fall in love like we always do. Buck up little buckaroo!

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?

She's natural in her beauty...

As do most Stevie songs? Seriously do you need Prozac?

I'm missing the Hammond B3.

Ding! That pretty much sums it up.

I hadn't noticed, so obviously it doesn't bother me much, but you're right - the organ is gone.

Oooh! I wonder if that is from the photo shoot a few years back where she donned the feathered headdress?

It is in the beginning and deep deep down in the mix during the chorus.

Only odd inclusion is Twisted. I cannot fathom that one at all. Am I on crack, or wasn't that song mentioned loads of times in the run up to The Dance as being the reason she felt she could sing with Lindsey again? Unless it's a different song with the same title maybe?

YAY for All The Beautiful Worlds, If You Were My Love and Watch Chain. ATBW and Watch Chain are just instantly classic Stevie songs. While IYWML... I hope they've gone for the epic Mirage demo feel rather than the complete and utter turd that is the SA demo.

Now there is a possibility. After all, Madonna recorded 2 different songs titled "Forbidden Love."
