Meh, I don't care for him much. The songs Sheryl produced sounded much more organic and much warmer than the ones Shanks did. The title track is one of her best songs, but some of that production is nothing but overkill, especially that last minute or so. Planets is too steely, Every Day just does nothing for me, and Fall From Grace is too sterile; he goes overboard with the studio programming and the results are too homogenized. Just my opinion. If she were to do a country-ish album and Shanks produced it, I'd go running.

I'm with you. The whole pop/rock-singer-does-standards thing has become something of a cliche recently, and the results often haven't been terribly inspiring. Plus, Stevie still fashions herself as something of a songwriter, I think, so I don't know that she'd want to do a whole album of other people's songs.

Running into the "wet" arms of Anderson Cooper???

Let's just hope he doesn't hook La Nicks up with his most recent prize, the lovely and talented Ms. Ashley Simpson

.

I thought he did an amzing job on TISL by the way.

Hell, I'm sure there were more than a few concertgoers in the late 70s who wished Stevie had lip-synched her performances.

I can't believe nobody has picked up on Stevie's influence over the Goth movement. Go into any goth club and you will see tons of girls in total Stevie drag. Then look at the mystical lyrics in a lot of her early songs. Sisters of the Mood, total Goth. Gold Dust Woman, very Goth flavored. Rhiannon, the live version, I'm surprised Bauhaus hadn't covered it. I would love to see Stevie team up with people like Nine Inch Nails or Marylin Manson and do a total Goth CD.

Good god, I think both Stevie and Trent Reznor would have a heart attack.

Oh trust me I've definitely picked up on it. For a while I was into the goth scene and I still occasionally pop into the clubs if they have a band I like. Nine Inch Nails and Bauhaus are two of my favorite bands (I'm going to the Nine Inch Nails show this saturday night at The Hollywood Bowl for my b-day). Anyway so many of the girls in these clubs dress like Stevie (corsets, chiffon, platform boots, etc) but a lot of them refuse to acknowledge it which makes me really sad. A few months ago I was at one of the most popular goth clubs here in LA and this girl said to me, "Why do you come here? I thought you were a Fleetwood Mac girl" and it really pissed me off. As if I can't be at a goth club because I like Stevie Nicks lol. She obviously had no clue that Stevie was wearing the corset she was wearing 20 years ago while she was probably still in diapers. How ignorant can people be?

When people ask me what kind of music I like I usually say, "Stevie Nicks, Nine Inch Nails and a lot of industrial" and they look at me like I'm crazy but to me there is a total connection. The darkness, the pain, the intensity, the mysticism and symbolism, the clothes, and the BLACK!

I was just going to note that most of the Goths look down on La Nicks.

Yeah...Stevie is far from goth. Her "black outfits" are more flowy and chiffon-like.....just dressing the part, while goths live it 2/7.

Well, some may, but there used to be tons of posers when I sued to frequent the clubs.

ugh. I hated when the Goth movement came in jr/high school. Everyone was trying to be all dark with their eyeliner and ankle-length coats....all in black.

Posers are lame.

Right on sistah!!! I used to bum around the goth scene when I lived in Pittsburgh in the 90's but since I moved here to LA it's not really my thing. I went once to a goth club around the block from me and there was so much attitude I couldn't stand it. I still like a lot of the music and could totally hear Stevie doing a cover of Spellbound by Souxisie and the Banshees. And wouldn't that be so funny and ironic after all those years of witch rumors.
