I think you're right. He'd go crazy...or crazier!

In Destiny Rules, didn't John McVie say that Chris Lord Alge was too expensive?

But, nothing but the best for Miss Stevie Nicks.

I always took that comment to be a typical dry John joke... him poking at Lindsey, who was a bit too strung out on the subject of who was going to be doing the mixing, etc.

'Dave Stewart:
... then 1st day of Mixing on Stevie Nicks Record with Chris Lord Alge Yay !'

Dave is quite adept at mixing himself, but it would seem on this occasion that he is content to share the responsibility with CLA. Dave is notoriously fast at mixing, so alongside the equally swift CLA, they should have this baby wrapped up within the fortnight. I imagine CLA will defer more to Dave than the other way around so don't be anxious about the results.

I'm actually pleased work is continuing on the album because it makes the March 1 release date all the more acceptable to me. If it had been completed back in August, I would have been annoyed that it wasn't issued by the end of this year, but if additional work was required, so be it. I want Stevie to be absolutely satisfied with the album from start to finish.

I agree. Considering their timeline, a March release does seem more logical..not just waiting to release it for the sake of waiting. I don't know about anyone else, but I breathed a big 'ol sigh of relief when I read they were actually mixing. This means everything that's going to be recorded has been. Not that last minute changes can't happen but the bulk of the work is done. It looks like Dave kept Stevie on track and focused for once, with no major staff overhauls or changes in direction to delay the final product from showing up on store shelves. Yippee!

Well to be fair, it's not the 1st time she has stayed on track and focused. Bella Donna, Wild Heart & TOSOTM all stayed on track and didn't get the multi-producer & staff overhaul drama that RAL, SA & TISL did. But more importantly it seems from the tibit's Dave and Stevie have expressed in interviews & tweets that Stevie's upcoming project came about more organically and less forced than any record that Stevie has ever done since Bella Donna. It's inspiring and quite possible that we may see the best Stevie Nicks solo effort in 30 years!

And even if they miss the anticipated release date of March 1st, I don't see it being delayed more that 2 months after March. As Stevie mentioned in one interview regarding the release of the record, "We've all got places to go"... which probably portends that Stevie will be getting back with FM by 2011 years end to plan for another record perhaps but definitely another tour with the group.

Why would guys think that she would miss the March 1st release date? The album is basically done. It just turned November. I'm sure a lot of the art, photos and such are done. Dave may have been on other things, but Stevie has been working on this project, while he has been doing his thing.

Tentative inside of Dave's new record:

That danm picture of Stevie, just might be my favorite of her ever since 1983. She is one sexy thinker.

RockAlot · #**730** 11-02-2010, 01:32 PM

Wow, be nice to see Stevie's pic. in his new CD. That is a very nice pic. of Stevie.

This year is almot over, and March will soon be upon us!

I am just so friggin thrilled that this is actually happening! If you were to ask me a year ago if Stevie would be making another album I would of been very doubtful. So I'm just beside myself with this whole CD!

I've tried to keep my excitement at bay so not to be disappointed if it didnt pan out, but

I sorta have to agree with you. The pic is surprising and yet, sooooo cool. I got good feelings about this collaboration.

TerraRhiannon · #**733** 11-02-2010, 02:20 PM

Man, I am getting so excited!! When I get the new album I'm going to devour every song one by one, as Stevie had said in an interview this is how she would like people to first listen to it.

Can't remember where in the world I read that now, I read so much junk

TerraRhiannon · #**734** 11-02-2010, 02:22 PM

Oh, about my above post, I read that somewhere where it was talking about how she wasn't going to perform any of her new songs at the shows in August because she wanted it all to be a surprise and for people the first time they listened to the whole thing. And maybe something about sitting by a fire drinking wine. lol

I don't think the release date will be delayed for any major reason other than strategic planning for marketing purposes and not go against any other major artist release that take away from Stevie's 1st week sales and chart position which can be touted in the ensuing media promotion if it is substantial by today's standards. That being said I fully expect the release anywhere between March 1st and May 1st 2011 with a spring/summer shed tour to follow with Dave Stewart...and then back to FM for a tour or record or both planned for 2012!

In no way shape or form do I expect a delay due to any other reason. Stevie has been very excited about this group of songs as reported in several interviews in august when the majority of the recording had already taken place. Post-production and any final additional recording resumed in Sept. and Oct., and now we know the project is in the final mixing phase...we are very close to it all being wrapped up.

Similar to SYW, which was completed by the Holidays in 2002 and held til the release date of April 15 2003.
