On WH Stevie's ego (and drug use) had started to creep into her judgement... and instead of trusting Jimmy the way she did on BD she began to think she knew better

Yes the drug use accelerated the ego boost. You are correct. It started with Wild Heart and crystalized with RAL where she would rent studios and never show up. Bella Donna is a work of art. Wild Heart is like Swiss cheese to me. There are a few holes in the work. A noble effort and there was still a little magic there. Bella Donna had pressure to be great. Wild Heart sort of had the hangover of tremendous success which hurt the effort. By the time RAL came along she was mailing it in.
Neat how Benmont was blown away by Silver Springs and almost was his inspiration to work with Stevie.
