Michelle Branch just posted this on her Twitter:

No pressure, just singing Say You Love Me in front of Stevie Nicks for the Fleetwood Mac tribute record. She's producing this track 4 me!

another FM tribute cd? hmmm. and why is Stevie producing SYLM?

Why do I get a sad, sinking feeling that she might be referring to Lindsey as "Stevie"?

And why would stevie produce a song she didn't even write anyway?

I think the little wannabes are coming back out of the woodwork now that Mama has the stink of T. Swift about her...

hahaha maybe Stevie is working on her producing skills and she is going to pull a lindsey and produce the entire next Fleetwood Mac album!

Why on earth is there going to be another tribute album? Didn't Stevie herself say she hates them because tributes are for people who are
dead?
Is Fleetwood Mac officially dead? Why is she wasting her time with this when the actual Fleetwood Mac could be doing new music for a new album?

That would be quite the remarkable feat. Could actually be interesting as heck!!

I'm curious to know what kind of role Stevie plays when she produces. How many times has she produced her own work, let alone anybody elses? Does she handle it on her own or does she require assistance?

WelshWitchPMD · #10 02-11-2010, 09:39 PM

I wonder who will cover Rhiannon for this album? Taylor Swift you think?

MY 14 yr old mind keeps thinking, "this is it. Theres gonna be another tour. New album. Itll be the comeback of the century and i'll be able to shove it into my friends' faces the crap they listen to and what REAL MUSIC IS!

But sadly, i'm afraid theyre gonna overdue All this covering and tribute stuff.....hopefully this isn't the end of FM

The only thing I can see Stevie doin is figuring out harmonies...

Aaaand... Michelle Branch on SYLM is kinda weird.. Love the Wreckers album though.

Obviously, we know she produced Bombay Sapphires on Trouble In Shangri La. I, too have wondered exactly what the extent of her producing entailed. But honestly, she's been Lindsey Buckingham's musical partner for what, over 40 years now? She's recorded 7 Fleetwood Mac studio albums, 6 solo studio albums, and has recorded countless songs for various other projects... I'd have to think after all this time, after all her experiences, she'd have to of picked up some production knowledge

.

Regarding the never ending whining about Stevie "posers" and "wannabees"... seriously guys, get a grip. Stevie's in show business. That involves working with other people who are in show business. I'd be willing to bet that much of the time, these little pairings we've seen with Stevie this past decade have been management orchestrations to begin with. And even if that's not the case, why the hell would anyone care? In the end, these little girls who are hanging out with Stevie always get her some form of press... even if it is minute. And that's never a bad thing for any celeb. Even after Taylor Swift's less than swift performance at the Grammys, I can assure you both Taylor AND Stevie's album sales saw a small bump. Even amidst the cries for Taylor to throw in the towel.

Regarding why Stevie would be producing a Christine song, it probably has to do with the fact Michelle Branch is recording it. They're clearly friends... friends help friends. Friends like to do stuff together. Has anyone stopped to think that Stevie might have her fingers in the production of this whole album? Probably not since everybody is too busy bitching and nailing themselves (or Stevie) to the cross.

Honestly guys, I'm getting very, very sick of the "nobody is good enough to work with/be friends with Stevie" schtick. Stevie's just a human being. She eats, sleeps, breathes, and takes a crap like the rest of us. She just happens to be in the music business. So does Michelle Branch. It's just another day at the office for them, folks!
