Mick Fleetwood: "Stevie Nicks working on country version of Rumours album."

[APerfectLie]

I can't even begin to contemplate how I feel about this. A country version of Rumours just isn't my cup of tea. I feel we know it won't be as good as the original, so it should be done really differently so you can hear the songs in a completely different genre. That being said, Mac isn't country, but country isn't that big of a step out there. Most songs can be covered as country songs and it just seems so cliche and cheesy. I'd be more open to a Punk goes Rumours album, I think it would sound considerably different and be enjoyed by a lot of younger people, whereas country is not as popular amongst the younger generation. However, it may be decent if they get really good artists on there. Also, I don't believe this means Stevie isn't doing a solo album. Her photoshoot and work with Dave Stewart and Mike Campbell (and whoever else she has been working with that we don't know about) clearly isn't for this Rumours album. I think Stevie may get some production credits for this and may do some backing vocals, but no lead vocals nor will her picture be plastered all over the album.

Best case scenario?
This album comes out in June (which would explain the rumours of what Liz Rozenberg said), and then Stevie releases a solo album later this year with a end of summer/fall tour to promote it. Then the tribute album and the solo album garnish some extra public interest in Fleetwood Mac and Stevie will have gone off and done her thing for a year so she will be much more open to the Mac and in 2011 they reunite in the studio (hell, maybe Chris will join... I did say best case scenario ) and record a new album with a 2012 release.

Worst case scenario?
This turns out to be some off the wall, Taylor Swift/Miley Cyrus tainted tribute album to rehash and profit off of Rumours yet again. Then we get no new solo album, just a few casino shows rehashing the same old songs because Stevie doesn't have "**** else to do" and then Fleetwood Mac officially becomes the Men of Mac since both Chris and Stevie are off being stubborn and nobody lives happily ever after.
