Making a good new album.

I've seen only some of the YouTube vids, but her soloing on BMW is pretty pallid and nothing to get excited about. Her blues licks were a lot more effective (and louder) on Stop Messin' Round in 1990, for one. That excited audiences. And she did tougher work on Don't Stop's lead-out in 1997.

And that was 22-32 years ago. I’d written off ever seeing her again, now she’s playing solos reminiscent of 1972. Not bad, not bad…Certainly wouldn’t have happened under different circumstances.
