fan tribute album

[brocadelady]

For hearing other artists give a tribute to Stevie....

Gillian Welch & Alison Krauss - Beautiful Child
The Civil Wars - SDMHA, Nightbird, Planets of the Universe, Sorcerer, Landslide
Alison Krauss and Union Station - That's Alright
Dolly Parton - Smile at You, Kind of Woman, Fall From Grace, basically any of the pms songs...

I'd sing Beautiful Child...

On a side note I'd love to hear Neil Young cover any of the ballads from Fleetwood Mac or Stevie's solo years and would not know whether to laugh or cheer if The Judds ever gave us a Stevie tribute!

[GoldDustWoman22]

OK if I had my choice to sing something it would probably be Angel or Gypsy. I really think we should do this everyone ! It would be a really fun way to pay tribute to Stevie if we could all make it work

i'm very confused.

[StandbackStevie]

definetly hear Heart covering Sisters of The Moon.

[PolishStevieFan]

That's interesting. If I were to sing anything, then I would choose "Ooh My Love" or "I Sing For The Things". But I am afraid that nobody would want to hear me singing (or should I say destroying) these two incredible songs . On the other hand, if there was to be released so-called "Tribute Album" by other famous performers, then I would want to hear:

1. Linda Ronstadt performing "Rose Garden"
2. Annie Lennox performing "Doing The Best That I Can (escape from Berlin)"
3. Janis Ian performing "Landslide"
4. Amy Grant performing "For What It's Worth"
5. Bruce Springsteen performing "I Can't Wait" (in a big arena rock way )
6. Bryan Ferry singing "Rhiannon"
7. Phil Collins' take on "Kind of Woman"
8. Michael Stipe singing "Ble Denim"
9. Prince performing funky version of "Stand Back"
10. Phoebe Snow performing "You May Be The One" (that won't happen sadly due to the passing of this lovely lady)

[PolishStevieFan]

I forgot:

Pat Benatar should perform Stevie's "Edge of Seventeen" (in a dramatic, "Fire & Ice" way)
Ann Wilson-"Sister of The Moon"
Sinead O'Connor-"Beautiful Child"
Liza Minnelli -"Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You"
Billy Joel-"Rooms on Fire"
Kim Carnes-"Crystal"
Rod Stewart-"How Still My Love"
Cyndi Lauper-"Street Angel" (in a "True Colors" way) or "I Sing For The Things"
Gloria Estefan's Latino take on "Bombay Sapphires"

[Thrown_Down]

I'd totally sing Crystal, Landslide, Sable on Blonde or maybe Secret Love.

It was during the hype surrounding Whitney's last 'comeback' album I Look To You. She recorded HAEWAFY for possible inclusion on the album, but it didn't make the final cut. I think it was Clive Davis who said it. It may even have been heard at some listening party, but that last part I'm not too sure about.

That's a shame...I can hear her velvet voice rattling off that opening line in soulful fashion already. Maybe one day it'll shake loose!

[RavenOfRhiannon]

I remember that album we did. I actually went to a recording studio and sang over karaoke tracks of Landslide, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Everyday, and Planets of the Universe. I think I ended up sending Landslide and Planets in as contributions. It was so much fun. I pulled a total Stevie and sang harmony with myself on POTU.

Great ideas!!!!! Are you a Ronstadt/Springsteen fan too?

[Blueletter18]

I can't really sing that well...if I chose an easy song, it could work though. Maybe I Don't Wanna Know, If You Ever Did Believe, Think About It, or Gypsy (probably couldn't pull that one off..). As for covers, it would be cool to hear:

Joss Stone and Dave Stewart- Stop Draggin My Heart Around
The Civil Wars- Sorcerer (the Buckingham Nicks version!)
Lady Gaga- Imperial Hotel
Van Morrison- Blue Letter (well, it's BN, but still..)
Avril Lavigne- Sometimes It's A Bitch
Bruce Springsteen- The Highwayman (Nebraska style!)
Carole King and James Taylor- Leather and Lace
Fergie- Sister Honey
Carly Simon- Dreams

[On Ice]

How about throwing in a couple of vault rarities as the vast treasure trove of Stevie's creative output was never released.

My vote would be to open with:

Julia: Fiest, who could give this gem a good vocal work out. (Jimmy Iovine should be forced to produce it


And close with:


Without You: The Civil Wars (slow and very folky)

[MacFan92]

I would totally be down with a fan tribute album. I happen to be a music major in college, and can play multiple instruments: trumpet, piano, a little drums and percussion, etc. I am totally down with this idea. I can't sing well though. Could I submit an instrumental solo?
