Stevies new project

[Hawkeye]

I don' know whether i'm happy or pissed that Stevie is capable of laying out an album in 2 weeks time and holding out on us for 10 years. Screw it, I'm happy.

I don't understand what he means. They have been writing and recording for a couple of months, so what does lay down mean? Explain please.

finishing touches....or atleast that's what i hope.. but we all know it ain't done yet!

Laying down tracks means just that... Laying down the tracks... Recording the vocal track, recording the guitar tracks, the drum tracks etc. All the stuff leading up to the recording or laying down tracks is writing and demoing, working it all out before you go in and lay down the tracks. If you are well rehearsed you'll spend less time in the studio. That's how I view it.

not sure how her voice will hold up, laying down all those tracks in a two week period

It'll be fine...she's never had a problem with her voice holding up during studio sessions. Plus, that's what Pro Tools is for.

Is Dave saying that the album will be layed down in two weeks? I just assumed from his comment that he and Stevie will begin laying down tracks in two weeks, as in start (again) from mid June. He had mentioned previously that six tracks had been recorded earlier this year but they may have just been demo recordings or perhaps they are simply picking up where they left off a month or so ago?

Also of interest, Dave has just announced that he will be recording and releasing a solo album this year. It surprising that he has chosen to record in Nashville - I wonder if Stevie will contribute to the album?

So far this sounds good to me,I'm already to buy some copies when the new cd hit the streets.

I disagree. Lots of vocals from her seem like she is just going through the motions.

@APerfectLie226 yep Stevie and I are about to lay down the album in two weeks time (special people playing on it too )

I wonder who these "special people" are? Could it be the rest of our five fireflies? Doubtful, but I guess we shall hide and watch.

Thanks for asking him! This sounds promising. I remember one of the "special people" was Mike Campbell. Dave tweeted about him being in the studio at one point.

Yup! Just listen to Say You Will.

Maybe because she takes so long to record them she's bored out of her mind.

Stevie has had "special people" or feature guest artists on all her solo records except "Rock A Little" unless you count "Heartbreakers" Mike Campbell as well as the usual session player for hire.

Bella Donna; Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Don Henley & some E Street Band players.
Wild Heart: Prince, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, E Street Band players, & Don Felder
OSOTM: Bruce Hornsby, Kenny G, The Fixx guitar player Jamie West-Oram,
Street Angel: David Crosby, Bob Dylan, Mike Campbell and other notable players.
TISL: Sheryl Crow, Natalie Maines, Sarah Mclauglin, Macy Gray & Mike Campbell

And so far on this new release we know by Dave's tweets we can expect Mike Campbell & rock violinist Ann-Marie Calhoun. It will be interesting if she does any unexpected collaborations or duets with a current artist. I always thought Stevie and Chris Issak would be a fresh and new duet partner for her to officially record with. All and all this is getting really exciting! sounds like it's coming together and will be finished up and very possibly be in post production by summers end. I just hope she doesn't hold it for 8 -9 months to release next spring/summer. Release it this fall/winter!!!!!

Yeah... that's not gonna happen. Post production with anything Stevie's involved with seems to take absurd amounts of time. I bet she'll still be twiddling and recording throughout the summer and probably into fall anyway, if I know Stevie well!
