I thought the same thing!! We've ALWAYS known the album title and 'theme' long before now...

That is exactly what I have been thinking. Have we discussed album title's yet (serious ones )?

This is all so much to take in. So exciting! There's too much to say and I'm too lazy to type it, so I am enjoying reading everything you guys say Couple of thoughts in my head are: SOTM should only be performed with FM (JMO) and if she didn't do it on the last tour with them, I doubt she would ever do it solo. I would love though to hear Nightbird, Wild Heart or Gold & Braid. Pretty doubtful As much as Lindsey would rein her in on producing her songs, alittle piece of me hurts everytime I hear her praise Dave Stewart but I have to get over that I guess

I'm hoping this album is more like a cranberry pecan muligrain artisan bread.

Well since she is doing the "This Is Not A Tour" Tour, maybe it will be called the "This Is Not An Album" album. LOL.

Or better yet, since she is co-writing with Dave Stewart, maybe she'll call it EurythNicks. LOL.

Then again, just because she says mid-70s, it's no guarantee. She gets years wrong all the time in interviews. She might mean late 70s for all we know.

As for a song she hasn't done in years, "Whole Lotta Trouble" would presumably need horns. I would love "Seven Wonders". "Rooms on Fire" would seem like a safe bet, or maybe "Blue Denim", "Garbo", or "Sleeping Angel".
But then again, I have no doubt her people have seen all the requests for "Sisters of the Moon" - I have a feeling she would feel this is a safe one to bring back & surprise people with.
Of course, this being Stevie, it might just be "Outside the Rain".

OTR, ha ha ha that is what I was thinking ... nooooooo, give us something that will really blow us away.

This is one from the Stevie art vault. It has a bunny in it. I picked it specifically because I though it would be perfect for Cecelia.

This makes me nervous. I'm picturing a rabbit coming out of a top hat

In this interview Stevie says she pulled 4-5 songs out of the vault, so we all are thinking perhaps a couple demo's from 1976-ish, all the way to late 90's with "Annabel Lee" (composed to poem @17 she says, but did not demo this until TISL era) and everything in between. So that leaves a mind boggling amount of demo timespace to ponder (our favorite pastime!) So I would not rule out Space Needle entirely (I love this song too.) however, as SuiteShangriLa mentioned it would have fit perfectly into the OSOTM theme of self reflections on her reality rising from the ashes of her former drug-adled rock and roll ego. Too bad she didn't write it & record it back then.

Also as we all know, Stevie is notoriously spacey about her time recollections, For instance the quote , "I pulled songs from 1976 that I don’t know why in the world did not go in the first Fleetwood Mac album", is funny cause the 1st FM self-titled record came out July 1975. And there's the quote about the "Wide Sargrasso Sea" song "It was a crazy movie in the ’80s that I loved. while the movie came out in 1993! (just a few klonopin years off) - I'm just sayin' anything is possible.

Firstly, I sincerely hope this interview is genuine - the link appears to be - but I just can't believe the wealth of information contained within the article, especially the reference to "Annabel Lee" (this blows my mind). I know the demo was kind of plodding but so was the demo for "Thrown Down" and both produced versions (Sheryl's and Lindsey's) turned out brilliantly so I'm sure the same can be done for the musical track. What I love most about "Annabel Lee" are the lyrics and whilst I know they are not her own, they certainly sound as though they could be. Did she paraphrase at all or are they directly lifted from the original Edgar Allen Poe poem?

A couple of points:

There is a crazy, wild rock ’n’ roll song called “The Ghosts Are Gone.”

As soon as I read that song title, I knew it was familiar and then I recalled reading a few years ago about a song Stevie had written with Amanda Ghost entitled "The Ghost Is Gone". I was really intrigued by the title and as I like Amanda's work, I was hoping it might eventually get a release. I wonder if this is indeed the same song or if Stevie decided to retain and refine the lyrics for a different musical track ie perhaps one of the Dave Stewart or Mike Campbell co-writes?
Here's a link regarding the original song title:

Regarding the song inspired by "Twilight", I just hope that the lyrics are more on the esoteric, cryptic side rather than being too literal - that's where Stevie tends to sometimes fall down. Stevie has been inspired by all manner of things throughout her career and demonstrated a keen skill for delicious vagueness - here's to more of it.

Well, based on the demo, there were only a few changes from the original poem. That's what I don't really get. I read the article, and I don't see how she can say she wrote a song based on the poem when she only changed a few words.

Maybe she's going to use the once-common trend amongst singer-songwriters and just entitle the album
"Stevie Nicks"

Very retro idea.
If she loves it in its entirety as much as she seems to, then maybe it needs no title. The last self-titled album was 'Fleetwood Mac' in '75, later known as 'Fleetwood Mac Fleetwood Mac' - So maybe this will be "Stevie Nicks Stevie Nicks" eventually, but will begin titled just as "Stevie Nicks".
I kind of like the idea of it being self-titled. Shows a certain faith, security in herself and of the contents. But I also won't be at all surprised if it does get titled!
Somehow I think no title is good!

[Nikolaj]

I thought 'Annabelle Lee" was an interesting-enough demo, it stood out, though certainly wasn't one of her best demos.
You know, all this talk about going back to storage spaces, sending people to go find the old tapes- I bet in more than one case, Stevie, Dave and musicians found some of the lost treasures right on YouTube, there must be 1000 demos there! "Found it in a box after 30 years"... Sure! Found it on YouTube baby!
What would she do without her fans?
And her fans 'without her'... Maybe 'Without You' will be one of the very old demos. I love most everyone's wanting 'China Doll'-- it's a beautiful song.
A "Rhiannon Movie" song or not , 'Forest of The Black Roses' deserves to be on what is sounding like the quintessential Stevie Nicks album. Just write a new 'Rhiannon' song to take its place, should the dang film ever get made.
Last mention I heard of it was when she said in an interview that possibly it could even be an animated film-- My mind went straight to Patsy and Edina of "Absolutely Fabulous"-
"A car-tooon?"
"A cartoon!!!'' -- when Edina's ex husband was speaking of his long-stalled film project and how positive he felt now that Keanu Reeves had pulled out and it was going to be made as an animated film"--
Then Patsy and Edina had a huge laugh over 'car-toooon?'-- Great episode. I believe it may have been the episode entitled 'Death' in which Edina's dead father's corpse wound up 'just sort of plunked there' in a casket in a room where Edina had a bunch of new art delivered.
"But is it art?"- Patsy said of the corpse.
(The above 'animation' reference isn't meant at all as a Stevie-bash or to insult her. Just my being a huge AbFab fan, when I read that Stevie mentioned it could even be done as an animated film, I immediately thought of that very funny episode of the British sitcom).
Edit: "Buckingham Nicks" could also be considered a self-titled album, though without their first names, not quite, but almost.
