Stevie's next solo CD: "An orchestrated record of...old standards."

[GoldDustOrphan]

This is a year old, but I saw it today for the first time.

Stevie on her next solo CD:
"An orchestrated record of some of the old standards...Etta James."
"I want to do it with David Foster."

Wow, we've talked about her doing that, but I never knew she was considering it. Nice find.

Yea, this is from March of 2007.

I think she got her "wish" of doing covers with the Soundstage CD.

That sounds like Linda Ronstadt's album years ago.I really like to see her do a country record.She might get a better chance of more radio airplay on a country stations then on top 40 radio . unless she records a rap tune.also she make appearences on The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville like Jewel and Hootie and the Blowfishes Darius Rucker and some others.

Thing is, when is this going to happen??? Along with this idea, she's also mentioned wanting to do a Christmas album, a country album, a duets album......yet, it's been 7 and a half years since TIS!
If she goes into the studio with Fleetwood Mac after this tour (still up in the air, but a stronger possibility now that Stevie and Lindsey seem to be on the same track!), we probably won't see another solo album for AT LEAST three more years, which will put us at a DECADE between new releases!!!

Stevie has given us 3 new releases in 8 years (TISL, CV, Soundstage CD (in March '09), so i think she's doing just fine since all of that fits in between Fleetwood Mac's separate album/tour schedule.

Sorry, I don't consider a live album and her third greatest hits (in 15 years!) "New" material!

Second greatest hits...Enchanted is not technically considered a greatest hits

I don't know what people expect out of this women. She's 60 years old and has maintained 2 successful careers since 1981...she's not a machine.

But hey, new material with the Mac would almost be just as good, would it not?

[TrueFaith77]

Well I would LOVE to hear Stevie doing Etta James!!! But can she match Beyonce?

Do I expect a new album every two years like we had in the beginning? No!
Do I expect something other than a bunch of repackagings and greatest hits tours if she's to remain a vital and important artist? Yes!

Yes.....and no. While I really liked much of SAY YOU WILL, most of it seemed like two solo albums ~ albeit with a great rhythm section! ~ spliced together!
Plus, I just think Stevie's allowed to stretch more on her solo stuff ~ TROUBLE IN SHANGRI-LA, in particular, proved this.

This is true, but I would rather have even toned down Stevie than no Stevie.

[GoldDustOrphan]

Can Stevie match BeYAWNce? Of course.
Stevie's version of At Last is vastly superior to BeYAWNce's.
There's a great article from Vanity Fair calling Beyonce a fraud for claiming to be a songwriter. Ne-Yo called her to the mat for claiming to have written Irreplaceable.
