Still, I suppose my ambiguity about the record comes from my having bought it after Mirage and TWH. By around early 1984, I was pretty much over my Stevie obsession and had thrown myself into early Mac records—and anything featuring Christine. My biggest complaint about BD is the decision to leave “Gold and Braid” off of it because it’s such a great song and vocal. Not a bad complaint to have! Also, “How Still My Love” (along with “Trouble”) is the best non-Mac Fleetwood Mac song of the eighties. |

Interesting. There are only 2 songs from Bella Donna that were never played in concert.
Kind of Woman and The Highway Man. Kind of Woman would make an excellent choice in any set esp with Stevie's limited vocal range these days. After the title track, it really kept the momentum going on the album. Very haunting song about worrying about Lindsey straying on the road. Epic. So very Stevie. I love how she almost whispers.....unless she matters to you I think the Highwayman has a really good chorus and I always love a song that tells a story. Its a great closer. Another song that should have been played somewhere down the line on a tour. I think Stevie has been kinda haunting Lindsey his whole life

Okay, I'm dating myself(I still date myself daily!), but Bella Donna is literally the LAST 8 track I ever purchased. And, the sequencing was different than the album. It STILL throws me off when I listen to it, because it's not the song order I learned.

Almost any time I sit down at a piano, I play KOW. That riff sounds so ~classical~, and someone always axes me what it is. I freaking LOVE The Highwayman! Lindsey said he thought $tevie was just gassy, not actually haunting him.

Yes, I love that one too, Dave. It’s a great sing-along song. It’s really quite moving. Pure romance.
In fact, I wish Stevie had sung it on the Wild Heart tour. Would have been one of the highlights.

I should have added “Smile I Live For,” which is a pretty amazing non-Mac Mac song.

And it's easier to sing, at her age.

If Stevie ever tours again and plays Kind of Woman, maybe you can be her piano player. How about a dueling piano tour. You on Kind of Woman and Stevie on Rhiannon and you guys battle away in front of the audience.

I did manage to buy a Rumours 8 track in a thrift store a couple years ago. I don't have a way of playing it, but I like having it. I actually saw another one this past Saturday, but didn't buy it. Now that might be the RUDEST thing anyone has ever said to me!!!!

Edge of 17 has been played the most in concert. But SDMHA and How Still My Love could be tied for second. Have you ever heard the How Still My Love outtake. Its incredible and I'm sure it was a tough decision to decide which version to put on the album. Similar situation with Sable On Blonde. So powerful. They probably made the right decision but I love this version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSlTlHhWP30

I can picture Bob Glaub's head jerking around like a chicken during the entire thing. Sorry, he almost ruins watching the White Winged Dove tour DVD for me, with his constant head movement. He looks ridiculous.

The fact that she had such immense help from the heartbreakers, jimmy, and Don Henley is what really elevated the material on that record. The lack of their involvement is really evident when listening to Wild Heart.

(As you may have learned, I'm not really good at it) But I do love Think About It, Kind Of Woman. Would have loved Golden Braid. I think Jimmy Iovine felt it was a bit boring, too. That's why he added some of the Heartbreakers stuff.
