I really wanted to chunk my shoes at her from the crowd when I heard her massacre Gold Dust Woman back on the Time tour.

+1. 2004 was the last time Stevie received any of my money.

When I read the title of this thread, I was absolutely certain it was some kind of sick, very late April Fools joke. It's just the right level of total bananas.
Now that that illusion has been thoroughly shattered, I think I need to go and bang my head off a wall for a bit. Back soon, lads.

I'm a young Ledgie (20) and if this monstrosity transpires, I'll consider it very, VERY lame indeed.

Personally, how many more 'versions' of Rumours are we gonna get? I mean there own project didn't surface now a country version (which I could care less about really) .....guess the almighty dollar calls......oh .....anyway, IMO.......whatever but if the country thing happens I won't buy it.....I'll just put on one of my many many copies of Rumours that I have......LOL

I don't know what everybody's got their knickers in a twist over... I think it's great. So, Stevie's working on a tribute album. Big deal. That doesn't mean she's not doing anything else. It also means she wants to make sure it's done right. Good for her. She was raised on country music and it makes sense, it that regard. Too bad country ain't country anymore, but I digress....

I can see LBT doing "The Chain", since they already did with LB....

On the subject of tributes/covers: Dolly Parton did a bluegrass version of "Stairway to Heaven". By the way, the Rolling Stones, Eagles and AC/DC country/bluegrass tribute albums weren't half bad. It's a compliment for artists to be recognized by other genres. It means your music has no boundaries, which is a good thing.

Just because it's not your taste of music, but it doesn't mean it's bad music.

Agreed!

I love to see Lady Antebellum do a FM song.

If a bunch of country artists want to get together & contribute to a FM tribute album, that's great. I'm one of the people who enjoyed Patty Loveless' cover of Silver Springs from last year- I'd give it a shot.

But Stevie and/or other members of the band appearing on most/all of the tracks? (which seems to be what we're going to get) "Tacky" isn't a strong enough word.

It's funny u say that. Been listening to "Need You Now." It's got a heckuva hook and, certainly, a recognizable emotional story--but my word: none of the Mac's insight, mystery, or surprise!

Oh, I didn't understand that was what was happening... yeah, ewww. Why mess with perfection?

We actually don't even know if Stevie will appear on the album, let alone every track.

Why is everyone acting so shocked and horrified about something we ALREADY knew about?

Michelle Branch tweeted this back in February, so now Mick has provided some more details on it. I find it so amusing that people think Stevie is incapable of doing this and her own solo project, simultaneously. I also find it interesting that people are so quick to disregard Stevie and Dave Stewart's work just because Mick didn't mention it in this interview.

Stevie's lighting and daylight issues confirm for me that she is a vampire. I wonder if she is one of those vamp brands that sparkle in the sunlight.

Lindsey playing corporate gigs as one of the "Men of Mac" is the saddest thing I've ever heard. If they toured, that would be great, but they're just going to be playing at the Toyota sales conference to make a quick book. So disheartened. Linds, are you doing this to support just a family of five or do you have secret broods stored away on every continent that you're sending money to?
