What old demos do you want Stevie to dig out for her new record?

Bob Dylan wouldn't resort to dredging up songs that weren't worthy then, aren't worthy now.

Hence why you don't see him re-releasing his old albums with a ton of "bonus tracks" that weren't worthy of inclusion at the time.

LOL That cracked me up... I just watched that part of the doc. last night...

Although I love all those old demos and would really like to see some of them get officially released... I almost don't want her to recreate them... They should stand on their own as is I wouldn't want her to mess with them... leave those for a remaster or something... I agree, either write something new, or at least redo something we haven't heard if that's possible...

1. 'Space Needle'- because it's so excellently written. I think Dave could produce an awesome version of it, though I had assumed LB would really want Fleetwood Mac to do the song. Still, I think it belongs on Stevie's solo cd, too good to hold it back any longer. It will impress critics and public alike, that song, I'd think.
2. 'What Has Rock N Roll Ever Done For You'-- because Stevie is great on fast songs. It doesn't have 'too' many lyrics- though I love love 'Fall From Grace' I think you kind of can't sing along to it, with the complex, many lyrics. Of course, I'd rather hear Stevie singing than an audience, but I think the lyrics were too tough to memorize for the song to become a 'hit'
3. 'Jimmy Come On Back'-- the fast song reason, again. Love Stevie on a fast pop-rock song.
4. 'China Doll' was a gorgeous demo/out-take
5. 'She Loves Him Still' was an astonishingly gorgeous demo or out-take, and she included 4 lines of the lyrics from the song on a page inside of her 'Enchanted' box set liner notes, so that means she intends to put it on record, doesn't it? So, now's a great time.
6.. Because I love the following 60's song and don't think she will ever perform it more than the one time she did unless she records it, I'd love for her to record 'Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart'..Waddy must still have the charts for it. Falls under 'fast song' again
-- I have to say I only know of one version of 'City of Hope' and it just dragged for me, so I kind of hope she doesn't record it. There are lots of songs I've heard that I liked a lot more- I'll include 'Forest of the Black Roses' and I do love her '24 Karat' demo, though I figured that one never got put on record because it kind of has a Holland-Dozier-Holland riff that comes in and out of the song, but IF she covers their 'Itchin In My Heart' maybe that could segue into '24 Karat (Gold?)' with a note of inspiration from HDH in the liner notes. If that was the reason, that it sounded too HDHish, give em a piece of it, why not? Actually 'Jimmy Come On Back' sounds inspired by HDH too, to me. But, Stevie has said she's an old r&b singer, so I'd love to hear some 60s styled Motown kind of songs on the new album- the one remake of 'Itchin In My Heart' and her two own self-penned 'Motown-esque' songs, 'Jimmy Come On Back' and '24 Karat'..
I'm just so happy she has 4 songs finished already with Dave. I think she will keep the cd to 11 tracks, at the most, so she could be finished before June!
P.S. I thought 'Joan of Arc' was pretty dreadful content wise, though it did have a nice 'sound' to it. The chorus of it was terrible and too repeated (just my opinion, of course, go on loving it, those of you who do, as you should!)
But yikes I don't want it on the new cd

Oh, come on! It's one of her most intense songs! If not her # 1 most intense song.

And I am not happy at all about Dave.

I think I found me another polar-opposite Ledgie! lol

"Space Needle" and "Julia" are my two favorite demos ever.... along with "Forest of the Black Roses" but I agree with Louie on that one.

And the "rock" version of I sing for the things (Stevie, please, call Roy Bittan)
