Thanks for posting this. Time will tell, of course as always in Stevie world but it is interesting that she said, "I told Dave that I told Lindsey I'm never doing another record without Dave." Hmmm.... wonder what Lindsey's response was...

With all this Lady From The Mountain talk as of late, does anyone know when this song was written? It's kind of hard for me to place. The version posted on Buckinghamnicks.net sounds vaguely Wild Heart era... but could just as easily have been a shelved Mirror Mirror track as well. The versions posted on youtube definitely seem to be later. Any speculation as to who the song is directed at?

Since she sings about the lady from the mountain in Sorcerer I'm thinking it could be at least that old.

I have an old demo cassette I bought maybe 18 years ago at a record show that has 3 versions of 'Lady From The Mountain' on it and it was hand-labeled as 'RAL' demos, which isn't reliable fact, but my guess still is early to mid 1980s is when 'LFTM' began circulating.

One of the BN members said they called Sorcerer, LFTM. I would bet it was written at the same time.

Now this is interesting. I have to say that, as far as demos go, whatever Stevie decides to do with them is entirely her prerogative. I think of the demos as very rough sketches and, ultimately, what ends up on an album is her final vision for the song (more or less...hopefully).

Also, it does sound less like this song is literally about the Twilight movie, or some kind of homage to it - more like she was inspired by a scene from it.

I wonder if she is comparing the Bella/Edward situation to her and Joe Walsh? Didn't he claim he had to leave her because she was adding to his drug abuse? I could be wrong...
At any rate, I find Joe Walsh annoying!

Does anyone know where we can hear the full interview?

The original track listing for Rock A Little that Ginny Kamano sent out in November 1984 had "Lady From The Mountains" listed on it (along with "Thousand Days", "She Still Loves Him", "Mirror, Mirror" and many more). On my "Rock A Little ~ 25 Years!" thread, JeffD enchanced the Rock A Little version of "Lady From The Mountains" that I posted. It's awesome!

The earlier versions are from 1980 and 1981. No versions in fans' hands seem to be earlier than 1980 based on the dates from the Masters. However, Stevie is saying she wrote it in the mid-1970s.

OT, but do you have that original '84 track list? Just the song titles.

Going by Stevie, everything she ever wrote was written in the mid-'70s.

Now I'll buy that she wrote LFTM around 1978 and didn't actually create a demo until around the time she was recording stuff for Bella Donna (1980-ish). Same with Secret Love, which is apparently the song about which she said "I don't know why it didn't go on the first Fleetwood Mac album." I haven't listened to the demo in a while, but her voice sounded to me like it was recorded around 1978-1980. I suppose it *could* be from 1976 like she said, but even so, the first FM album came out in '75. Maybe she meant Rumours.
