My whole point with sticking my opinion into this thread repeatedly is I keep seeing people say they think this whole project will be done in a couple of months. That's just not realistic. Stevie seems to almost always have a major personnel shakeup when she records. Just look at TISL for example... how many incarnations did that go through before it came out? Sheryl Crow, Dallas Austin, John Shanks, etc. It's not just TISL either, look at her track record. RAL went through arguably an even bigger shakeup.I just think people who feel this is a locked in and done proposition with results to be expected quickly are in for a nasty disappointment. I'm not saying I believe Stevie's simply stockpiling demos here... but I think it is important to remember she's worked with her "famous friends" stockpiling demos before. Just think of the Tom Petty "Gypsy" and Tom Petty "Battle Of The Dragon" (both atrocious, by the way!

). I think we probably will see an album out of these sessions with Dave, but I think it's entirely too premature to start guessing anything about the end product, what it will be, when it will be released, who it will be with, etc.

Excellent points. In our excitement we all may be jumping the gun and stretching reality as far as the time it takes to do an album, especially when Stevie is involved. And Dave himself did not confirm that this is a "Stevie + Dave album", but it was the Eurythmics News Facebook page (which is probably equivalent to nickslive blogspot). So i totally see your point in just going with what we have, and not taking the information we are receiving and imagining up all these scenarios and release dates.

I do think that Stevie and Dave are going to stick this one out together, the whole way through. They are working so quickly that it looks like something really solid is coming together. And according to Carissa Couch's myspace page, she is doing a photoshoot with Stevie on April 11th, so maybe the process is going faster than we all have expected, but until i hear more news about that i'm not going to jump to any conclusions.

He did a great job on his first solo album, Spiritual Cowboys, but on the whole 'we' prefer him firmly BEHIND the scenes (where he truly does shine)

That's the key, you like them both. There are Eurythmics fans out there, especially in the UK, who will not be happy about Dave working with Stevie instead of Annie, but i'm glad some Eurythmics fans are excited about this project!

The same thought came over my mind too. Here is the last thing he tweeted regarding Stevie:

@DaveStewart "Any plans for a Stevie version of "Don't Come Around Here No More"?"

Am I the only one who finds his grammar insanely annoying??? I know in one post he said something about going to "Stevie Nick's house" and then another he said "we are doing "album" in a very new way" instead of a album or the album, and in his response to me he put a space before the exclamation mark. Grr.

Moving on...

I wonder if maybe Stevie told him not to tweet anything else? Or maybe she got pissed that he was tweeting stuff and told him "Don't come around here no more!"

We all know Stevie's feelings about Twitter, the internet, and computers in general. I'd find it hard to believe she'd sanction Dave's pre-marketing... and it'd be easy for me to see her showing him the door if he did all that under her nose. We all know how she feels about her stuff getting leaked out. Honestly, if I were an artist I'd be the same way. I wouldn't want the public to see my creation before it's complete and ready for consumption.

Thats exactly what I'm thinking. And it makes me a little uneasy because I wonder if in 5 years she is going to be giving some interview saying "Well, I was going to make an album five years ago but..." and then lambast Dave Stewart for his tweets and possibly clinginess. Which I wouldn't blame her, but I would be pissed if twitter ends up being the reason Stevie waits longer to put out a new album.

SapphireSister · #67 03-29-2010, 04:46 PM

Honestly, I don't give a **** what or who it is at this point. Just give us something NEW Stephanie!

P.S. You can tour singing the same 10 songs till doomsday and I'll still pay mucho dollars for tickets and be awestruck standing in front of your mic because nothing brings me greater joy.

It couldn't hurt to ask

Do it!

Ok everyone, breathe easy...Dave is back with another update:

"Just finished playing guitar with Mike Campbell (tom Petty) in studio and Stevie Nicks singing"
about 4 hours ago via UberTwitter

...but i don't like his voice.

ETA: In fact, I'm going to say what's really on my mind. Of course I'll be eager to hear whatever Stevie puts out, BUT this is really feels like a big slap in the face to Lindsey and Fleetwood Mac . . . and their fans who were teased with prospects of a new Mac studio album. I love her. Maybe Lindsey/Mac/fans deserve a slap in the face. But that's really what this reads to me as. Of course, as I settle myself down, she is her own person--freedom!--and if this is what her heart really tells her is right, then I hope it turns out well. And I hope the Mac and Lindsey don't let the sting linger. She's already forgiven by me . . . unless the album sucks.

ETA: And it could be worse. At least Lindsey isn't doing an album with Annie Lennox

This is true, BUT, we don't know what happened behind the scenes, or what agreements have been made within the band. Mick recently said in an interview that now that his Blues Band tour is finished, Fleetwood Mac will be taking an at least 18 month break before getting back together again, so i for one am thrilled Stevie decided not to sit around on her tuckas until September 2011. I really think once this album is released (which could even be this year, fingers crossed) and the promotion/tour is over, Stevie will take a few months off, and when the rest of the band is ready to go into the studio, she will gladly join them.

Totally. If it was a unanimous decision or if somebody other than Stevie plead for the 18 months, then, yes, I applaud Stevie more than anyone who will not be giving us new material (Lindsey, that's a throw down!). So you're right that I shouldn't assume the 18 months are cuz Stevie wants to do this Dave Stewart thing. I'm convinced-ish. Good for Stevie!

Anyone else find it odd that there has not been even a murmur from Nicks's camp about this project?

With any past album she has been quick to announce what she is doing ,even long before there was an internet.The silence thus far seems uncharacteristic .

I agree, we wouldn't even know if it weren't for Dave's Twitter updates.
