I ALWAYS KNEW YOU COULD DO IT MABEL. I am literally screaming right now lol I just want to throw it out there now that I have always loved the demo, no matter how cocaine-rambly it is. I am so proud of you Stevie

It's been such an exciting week in Stevie Land. This album is shaping up to be another home run.
Sounds fantastic, Dave and Stevie!!

The first snippet I've heard that actually made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
This Mabel Normand is someone I want to know a little more about! Very mysterious and a little tragic. The perfect blend to a perfect Nicks song!! SING it to me Stevie!!!

I most definitely will!

I have been wanting this song for so long! Hate that the clip is so short but I love it so much! Glad people are now jumping on the Mabel Normand train!

The first real WOW moment for these clips so far..I guess this completely lays to rest the idea that all the songs will be produced duplicates of the demos.

Totally agree.

Her voice sounds amazing; what she lost in vocal range she makes up for with a powerful projection and a passionate gutsy growl. I love that she threw us a curve ball with Mabel Normand. I also like the production values; the songs almost sound like unadorned live performances, with a little bit of Street Angel grit.

I believe the process served her well; instead of noodling around in a studio for six months, the unprecedentedly short time in recording the album motivated her and gave her a mission. That they already had a the templates for these songs also helped the process. There's kind of a vintage soul to them.I predict this album will garner many positive reviews and sell well.

I love the guitar, the vocals - everything!

[Jondalar]

Love the feel of this album.

Most of her demos are works in progress, not set in stone. Demos are just the starting place for songs; we can't predict what will done to them. I love that she chose this song because it was so unexpected! No one expected that Lady from the Mountain would be transformed into Moonlight, so I don't think the songs recorded will necessarily be a straight shot recreation of the demos as we know them.

This, indeed, is an exciting time for Stevie fans.

Really starting to get amped up hereI am so happy that she is doing this .There is really no one else on earth that could pull a song like this off except for Stevie Nicks.
