I think that would be nice too. Plus if the alleged album is in fact going to be a tribute to her mother, I can't see a lot of "rocking" songs being included.

I agree 100 percent.Country or a old standards cd.We see already IYD did not make a dent on the charts.Trio with Linda,Emmylou,Dolly was awesome.Also this will make her grandfather proud of her doing country tunes.

In My Dreams.{no pun intended} LOL .Linda Ronstadt,Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish,Jewel,Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow to name a few did country.Stevie can swing it.I dont know any of you remember the late Conway Twitty got his start singing rock and roll back in the 1950's.in the mid 1960's he started to record country tunes.It made him one of the top country male singers of all time in that era.Eagles other groups like Exile "Kiss You All Over." pop hit went the country route and had hits on the country charts.

Olivia went from country to pop success with "Physical " which it blew off Stevie's Belladonna tunes off the high spots on the pop charts.

Olivia actually shed the country label when Grease was released, then churned out the album "Totally Hot" in 1977, which was pure pop and hugely successful.

I think ONJ has had a fascinating career- trying different musical genres and images on for size, not necessarily out of artistic curiosity, but mostly in a desperate attempt to become/stay relevant. She was the squeaky clean little ingenue who then got raunchy for a while and then bounced back to being wholesome again. Along the way, she did such shamelessly tacky things... but for some reason it all makes sense now. I scream with delight when I watch Kristen Wiig on SNL channeling 1980's Olivia with the page-boy haircut, leotard and headband. And Xanadu is so incredibly awful that it's, like, the best movie ever made. I have a newfound appreciation for ONJ these days... she was never "cool" but you couldn't help but give her an "A" for effort.

Actually, Totally Hot came out at the end of 1978. Olivia's new cd is incredible as she covers Mickey, I think I love you and so many other great songs from the 70's, but they are dance versions. Its actually the soundtrack from her new movie, " A Few Best Men". Steve Real does back-up on the cd as well. As of now, it's only been released in Australia for now, but the single Mickey is up on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx13szmyjOw

Olivia was my first fave.When Olivia cross over top pop/rock then .I was upset alittle.But she was Hot.

I dunno.. why should Stevie cover anyone else's songs, especially their hits, when she's got enough hits of her own AND a fabulous treasure trove of unreleased stuff. Classics, maybe, but otherwise, I'd prefer her going to the vaults.

The vaults, yes, the woman never has to pen another song - even with Dave Stewart.

The thought of Stevie doing either a country album or a an album of covers/standards constitutes my two worst nightmares as a fan.

I'm not terribly keen on the idea of her relying solely on vault songs, either. I think In Your Dreams and most of Say You Will prove Stevie is still a great songwriter in the 21st century. I'd rather hear where Stevie is right now vs her reheating something from her past.

I know I'm the only one who feels this way, but if Stevie were ever to do a themed album, I'd far prefer a full on electronic/trance type work. I think she could pull it off fabulously... her mystical style and unique voice couldn't be any more ideally suited for the genre.

In the end, I think the possibility of Stevie sticking to any one genre for an album is pretty far fetched. All of her solo albums have been potpourris of styles ranging from folk, to country, to rock, electronic, blues, etc. I'm doubting she'd take a musical left turn at this point in her career... but then again if she did, I think we'd welcome it with open arms.
