Wouldn't it be great if Stevie...

...were working on a a new solo album right now and we would have a new record in time for Christmas? I need some new Stevie music- I'm gonna go crazy if I don't get to hear her raspy voice become even raspier! My favorite part of her new material. Who would have thought her TISL vocals could have gotten any more weathered? Her vocals on SYW were ten times smokier. Anyways, I'm getting off toipic! When does everone think we'll have a chance at new Stevie material (whether it be with FM or solo material)?

I have a bad feeling that it won't be in time for Christmas.

God, I would be so thrilled if it were. I too am a huge fan of those raspy vocals. They got me into her to begin with. What a turn on! Sometimes I do prefer them to her 70s and early to mid-80s vocals. I feel that I am truly in the minority. A friend of mine said she sounded like Bob Dylan on "Trouble in Shangri-La," and not in a good way.

I gave my friend a ride home the other day and RTTG came on and they said "Is that Kermit the Frog?" I know I am in the minority with her raspy vocals too. I am in love with two eras of her voice. Her vocals from Buckingham Nicks-Rumours (the high parts on songs like Second Hand News and Frozen Love are to die for!) and her vocals from Trouble in Shangri La to the present (love the raspiness of songs like illume).

Maybe Christmas 2014???

I'm projecting 2nd or 3rd quarter, 2005.

Maybe late 2005. I love her vocals now too, although my favourites are from the 70s and early 80s.

No way! Try last quarter '07! And first quarter 2052 for a posthumous Lindsey Buckingham album.

If Stevie has already written most of the songs, found a producer and is going in the studio by October-November, the album could be ready for May-June, but I honestly doubt it. I'd say, if she will intensely work on the project, autumn 2005.

By the way, I'm very happy to have for December another Christmas song performed by Stevie (and Chris Isaak)

Her historical way of doing things suggests she will release a record in the Spring and tour in the Summer to support it

As for her vocals - I get preturbed with her because she seems stuck in this habit of singing way down low or not using any of her range. She has range - we saw it on this last tour and the vocal on Smile at You (sheebus). Yet, she seems not to want to be, if you will, melodic. I like her when she is more melodic - she sounded great and melodic on At Last and on Ring Around Your Neck at the Divas. It was a breath of freash air for me. I also like her better with a havy piano influence. Hopefully, she will comeback to that a la Bella Donna. But, I like her stuff alot no matter what - so here's hoping she just releases something.

Exactly. And since Fleetwood Mac have toured in the summers of 2003 and 2004 I doubt she'll launch tour in 2005 at all. A lot of people would think "I just spend $150 to see them last year at the same place" etc., but you never know...

I think Lindsey will put out an album first.

Hey wouldn't it be cool if they both released albums at the same time? They could go on tour together and Lindsey could OPEN for Stevie!
