Dave mentions Stevie's "forthcoming album" in new Billboard article

There may have been quality control occurring from the very beginning and so they may only record what they believe to be absolutely worthwhile.

No, they would record a ton more then weed (no pun intended) them out from there...

I wish someone would just Tweet Dave and tell him the song titles we know and ask for confimration on Annabell Lee and what are the other titles...

CADreaming, I agree - someone needs to get the word out to Dave about the likes of Annabel Lee and She Loves Him Still. Please, someone really needs to get on his case while we have the chance.

Twitter is a great platform to ask those sorts of questions. The worst he can do is ignore it!

I don't know what to make of some of these details, though. She's relying heavily on co-songwriting with Dave and Mike. That's always been her area of expertise. I guess that goes hand in hand with the insecurity she's been emanating the past 5+ years. You'd think she'd have learned something from her own song: "That Made Me Stronger"

I have no problem at this point with la Nicks co-songwriting with Dave & Mike as long as the songs KILL! I would be much more disappointed to see her cover someone else's song ala "Everyday". It would be so cool for Stevie to have her signature on every single song, which would be the very 1st time in all her solo recordings.

And I really hope the song Mike C. refers to that Stevie "found" is not "My Heart", While it would have been a good addition to TISL but was cut in the final round, Most of us have a fully produced & mastered version that's been traded, unless as Mike said, they went in and made it better....but still, I'd rather have a new song. Exception being the song she re-discovered was "You Like Me" written by Mike & Stevie around the RAL era, and only recorded by the William Bros. in 1987 (who co-wrote "Some Become Strangers"). I would kill to see Stevie stick her fangs into this forgotten uptempo rockin' gem with venomous lyrics!!

Dave confirmations thus far via tweets, is that he co-wrote 6 songs with Stevie & that 7 tracks have been laid down. Now with Mike saying he was involved in co-writing 2 of those tracks, it's very possible 1 or 2 of the 7 have multiple writing credits with Stevie, Mike & Dave. While in the studio with Mike & Stevie, I could see Dave offering up suggestions and adding a couple of things & ending up with a co-writing credit.

And all the demo's mentioned in this thread thus far as being included are equal doses of fan speculation & wishful thinking at this point (even though it's fun to imagine each of our favorites dusted off and given a proper debut). So it is premature to get excited about "All The Beautiful Worlds", "If You Were My Love" "Annabel Lee" etc. that have been tossed around as possibilities as no song titles have been mentioned other than "Everybody Loves You", and we can infer by David Wild's comment about vampire's and ghosts, that Stevie may have recorded her "New Orleans song" (unknown title)........

I hope we hear more concrete information re. the status of the project and some song titles next month when Stevie is on her mini-tour and possibly does a couple of interviews, or Dave starts tweeting again about Stevie, once he wraps up his own CD, or even better, Stevie is so excited about her new material that she debuts one song at her gig's next month with Dave on stage as a special guest!!!

Till then we are all working ourselves into a lather.

I've heard about the New Orleans song but never heard the song itself. Is there a recording anywhere?

She sang a short verse at one of the FM shows, somebody might have it on viedo?

"That Made Me Stronger" being a co-write has always cracked me up.

I strongly dislike this song. One of the few.

Although I wouldn't go as far as stating that I strongly dislike the song, it definitely is on the lower rungs of the totem pole that make up TISL. They could have easily swapped out TMMS for "My Heart" and I feel TISL would have been a tad better for it.

The only thing TMMS had going for it, is that it provided a narrative for Stevie to talk in the press about her initial writer's block and trepidation around embarking on another solo recording. But other than that the song never really takes off for me, Stevie phoned in a melody line with her usual sprinkles of dreams and recollections - that just kind of sit there with a interesting groove. The only fascinating and empowering line is "once more I tell the shadows of my soul to stay back, Everything has changed now. And I don't want to go back, And nothing you can say can change my mind." Also Stevie says "WELL" wayyyy toooo many times in this song (may even hold the record!)...that's the only thing that rings in my head. LOL

The more wells the better! The Juliet demo is a record holder:

Ahhh yes....Juliet (the "Tango" demo), that is a piece of work.

I actually LOVE this demo, which she clearly recorded on the road whilst on the RAL tour de force. You can practically taste the whiskey on her breath and see the spit flying from her mouth & bouncing off the microphone when you take it all in. The RAL era, esp. tour, was when "well" started dominating Stevie's vocabulary & officially began her tourette's syndrome era (Common tics are throat-clearing and blinking. You may repeat words, spin, or, rarely, blurt out swear words.)

Here are the lyrics to the verse Stevie sang a cappella during Fleetwood Mac's New Orleans stop in 09', dubbed by fans as "The Vampire Song" or "New Orleans Song"

"I wanna get back to New Orleans.
I wanna sing out in the streets of the french quarter.
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads, I wanna wear feather's and lace.
I wanna brush by the Vampires.... and go down Bourbon Street."
