"Production," in pop music, covers so many different activities. Remember, this is a woman who said she is unable to operate a VCR machine. The mental image of Stevie at a soundboard, operating levers & knobs, doesn't feel real to me. A producer can also stand in a control booth, listening to playback, & telling the engineers & artist(s) what she thinks of the overall vibe. I bet that more accurately describes Stevie's past & present production work.

Jimmy Iovine, in a long-ago OFF THE RECORD radio interview with Mary Turner, said much the same thing about Stevie's production contribution to the vinyl release of the live "Edge of Seventeen." Anyone have that handy?

And particularly not when Lindsey is on the same project. It's not like he'd be suffering fools gladly, or otherwise, back in those days. Michele

No, it really doesn't

There was an audio interview from years ago where Stevie said that she was good at vocal production. Maybe that is what she is doing for this project. I am sorry that I don't remember the name of the interview.

Oh, it's really charming that she cleans and waits for the cable guy like a regular person That's just like me, except I don't really get much cleaning done

.

Sometimes I hear them say they wrap up a song in one night, but it sounds like her work with Stevie is actually taking a bit of time. I'm very anxious to hear the finished product.

I haven't the foggiest who Michelle Branch is...but, if she's young, and current, then go for it!

I want Fleetwood Mac to live forever, and these are examples of how this will happen. Not every parent will be cool enough to play the Rumours album for their up and coming youngsters, so, if this is a way to keep FM/Stevie alive in the music industry......then play on!!!

ps. I'm going to go youtube Michelle Branch now so I can at least know who she is.

Wow. She's been around the scene for about 10 years now.

Umm..yeah, I just looked her up, and now I feel like a moron. I guess I didn't connect her face and her songs....

**mylittledemon** · #42 02-16-2010, 12:48 AM

That's okay.. haah... I think she only had one "big" record anyway

Brandon, you're right. The Spirit Room was her (major label) debut album and her biggest record, thanks to the singles Everywhere and All You Wanted. It's a great album! I just wish that the follow up, Hotel Paper got as much attention because after a few listens it really grows on you, as the be albums often do.

I quite like her Wreckers album but that whole project just seemed a bit strange/mismanaged. I wish she'd get her 3rd solo album out!!

A guest appearance on a Santana album probably got her more fame than anything she's released on her own. (where would Rob Thomas be these days had he not done "Smooth" with Carlos?? Singing "3am" in karaoke bars?)
