What has always irritated the crap out of me has been how much she didn't take care of her talent-- her voice, her writing skill, her creativity. You are so right that she didn't make quality a priority at all.

Interesting theory about how busy she may or may not have been while making her solo albums. There’s no question she was “mostly idle” during the Mac records, but I suspect she was very present and aware of the importance of the sound for her first two albums. After that, who knows? You and bombaysaffires make apt comments about her carelessness with her instrument. She WAS really careless, brazenly so. But I agree with you—that was when her shows were, to use a choice descriptor, bewitching. After that, she had heroic moments (“Silver Springs” on The Dance, “At Last”) but there was a sense of balance, and of caution, which, ironically, undermined what made her so special… Last edited by aleuzzi; 06-13-2022 at 05:27 PM.. |

agree, though I think she got more careful with her voice after she blew it out doing stupid sh&t like smoking cigarettes, smoking pot, singing when she should have let it rest (between performances), doing coke, staying up for days on end, drinking too much, etc.
If she'd treated it more carefully THEN, she wouldn't have had to be so overly careful with it NOW. But you know she said in the past that she sort of expected to burn out and die young... she had (at the time) this sort of romantic vision of people like Hendrix and Janis et al.... Doesn't seem like she *really* expected to be doing this at 70+, even though she'd say so in interviews from time to time over the years. As for quality, she seemed to really strive for it in the early days (possibly encouraged in that by LB's perfectionism), but once she got famous, and especially once she made it solo (and got mixed in with the likes of Irving et al) she became far, far more concerned with "numbers" ie sales figures, chart positions, ticket sales, etc. and as long as those were good she seemed to care less and less about the quality of the content. Why grow artistically when you can sell out shows doing more of the same old, and partying along the way??

Will someone ask Chris why she used — for the first and last time — a Roland EP-10 on the Rosebud film? She won’t remember why and probably won’t have any idea what you’re talking about. That’s why I hesitate to ask her. But if someone would ask her for me, I would much appreciate it!

I don’t get the connection to Heart you mention, but I do remember my brother showing me a video many years ago of Ann and Nancy in a recording studio and some guy was yelling at them (I presume the producer) about how worthless they were and they were crying. It was disturbing to me, but my brother said they looked like they were high and that was probably why they were crying and why he was yelling. I didn’t like seeing anyone being yelled at that way, high or not; and it was hard for me to look at Heart the same way after seeing that. Now I see it as a moment in time, and not as their entire career trajectory. They clearly worked hard for their success, but they had a good deal of help as well. |

Well, Stevie does play tambourine, so I guess she’s as much an instrumentalist as Tom or Ann or Nancy. Not LOL. I’ve never heard the word instrumentalist before, but I assume it means someone who plays a musical instrument. I have no idea how sober one needs to be in a recording studio, from my understanding FM was doing cocaine daily while recording Rumours, so I don’t know how much of an impact that sort of thing has, good or bad. I just thought it was funny that the previous poster thought Stevie just came in and sang for a bit on her solo albums and left, while everyone else slaved to make the album for her. I do not believe that was how her albums were recorded, that’s all.
