Stevie's next album

[markolas]

Stevie has said that she's going to start working on a new album once the Fleetwood Mac tour is over. Since she's gone back into her archives and pulled out old demos like "Planets of the Universe" and "Smile at You" for TISL and SYW, do you guys think that she'll pull a couple of more "oldies" out for her next CD?

I'd love to hear "Watchdevil" get an official release, and maybe "The Dealer." Any thoughts?

If the new solo album doesn't have Space Needle on it, I'm going to be flipping mad!

As for other oldies that I'd like to see get the light of day:

-Joan Of Arc
-All the Beautiful Worlds
-Don't Treat Me Like a Stranger (oh, shut up!!)
-Love Don't Fail Me Now
-Baby Doll (even though I don't think Stevie wrote it, it doesn't sound like her)
-At the Fair ("and the beautiful doll, that she wanted...")
-If You Were My Love
-Lady From the Mountain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Sanctuary

Those are some of my favorites!

[GardenStateGirlie]

Space Needle, please. I love it.

If Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers come in and play on The Dealer, then maybe. Some songs can't be anymore perfect. That's one of them. Julia is a gem. I don't think that performance can be topped, either. I'd love to hear Space Needle. I think Lady From The Mountain could still be done very well. If You Were My Love, too. All The Beautiful Worlds-great but unlikely. City Of Hope-please finish this song. China Doll. Beautiful Ghost-from a time gone by, turned into stone. I'd love to hear the "and now I am doubting and the time is running out, she says still frozen to the ground.." line clearly.

[Jason T.]

If You Were My Love and Joan Of Arc!!!!!!!!

Both these songs are awesome!

[darklinensuit]

Lady from the Mountain (though my favorite version cannot be topped)
Sanctuary
All the Beautiful Worlds
She Still Loves Him (with the SYW Goodbye Baby style vocal)
Do I Bring You Down
Baby Doll
All the King's Horses
The Dealer
Smile at You done the right way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Jake

I love Space Needle to DEATH, as well as The Dealer (although, I DIE everytime I think about how PERFECT for Belladonna it would have been. )!!

All the Beautiful Worlds
Forest of the Black Roses (LOVE this song!!)
If You Were My Love
Prettiest Girl in the World
She Calls You Missing

These are my faves of the demos....need to get em all out and listen to em again tho...

You know, Do I Bring You Down isn't Stevie.

It's a guy that was experimenting with his toys down in his basement. It makes perfect sense, considering that I never thought it sounded like Stevie. There are a few versions floating around; one is sped up to make it sound more like Stevie, the other is at the tempo it was recorded at with the vocals messed with. He was messing around with his equipment, recorded it, and put it onto a Stevie demo tape. When he traded it, it still had his song on it, so it was mistaken for a Stevie tune until last year.

I'd love to see:

All the King's Horses
Are You Mine (a killer duet waiting to happen--yeah, I know she didn't write it, but it's still a great tune)
Baby Doll
The Dealer
Don't Treat Me Like A Stranger
City of Hope
Inspiration

Christy--

Wasn't "She Calls You Missing" from the RAL sessions reworked as "Love Is Like A River" on SA? I haven't listened to the demo in quite awhile, but I remember it had a lot of lyrics from "Love Is Like A River." great demo, though. I love how it starts off with Stevie's voice low in the mix and as the song progresses, her voice gets more and more louder.

Come to think of it, a ton of songs off of SA were outtakes from the RAL sessions. Greta, Rose Garden, Love Is Like A River, Docklands (the demo/outtake I have sounds like the RAL era, but some have it labeled as OSOTM era), Listen To the Rain; I think that's it. Anyone else notice this?

[SmthngOfADreamr]

I'd love to hear China Doll, All the beautiful Worlds, The Dealer, and Space Needle (with that weird part in the middle somehow revamped though) done most of all.

[strandinthewind]

She must release Space Needle. I am floored it did not make SYW and instead we got SG, DR, and RTTG, which I like, but IMO they are not nearly as complex or good as the song we call Space Needle.

China Doll, Maker of Birds (so romantic), The Dealer, Julia, and Melacine the Witch would all be good for me as well!!!!! I also think Have no Heart and Annabelle Lee could be great as well. Perhaps Stevie should put 18 songs on her next record!!!!!!

[dissention]

Gawd, Space Needle is freaking awesome. I am in love with it; definitely one of the best demos. Except the tar people line, I don't like that. Street language doesn't fit into a Stevie Nicks song.

I don't think that Stevie ever intended to put Annabel Lee on a record, I think she just loved the poem so much that she messed around with it to turn it into song. I think she was just having fun with it. Usually if Stevie likes something from literature, she uses the inspiration to write something of her won that references it. But Annabel Lee is one of Poe's best poems.

[gypsysara]

What all of you said! LOL! Mainly for me: Space Needle & THE DEALER (although I wonder if this can be done as some awesome versions Ive heard...)

I have no clue...I don't have SA yet. LOL All I know is that I LOVE the music. "When I want something, I get it" Isn't that from "Whole Lotta Trouble"? The music sounds very Middle Eastern and I think LB could do a cool job remaking it.

I've dug out my Stevie demo CD's and I'm listening to the ones I can't really remember.

I love:

Amber

Anybody Out There

Cecelia - very gypsy-ish, and is VERY EXTREMELY reminiscent of SOTM, not the words, the music

Impossible Task - I love the melody of the music in Impossible Task (da da da...dadadada...da da da....dadadada), but her singing is kinda painful on that one. LOL

Annabel Lee - kinda funky. I like the melody she uses.

Have No Heart (dangit. LOL)..this should have been on TISL instead of TFFT or That Made Me Stronger (UGH!!).

She Loves Him Still is beautiful.

Beautiful Ghost is great...sounds very 80's. Coulda been on RAL.

Three Birds of Rhiannon - GORGEOUS, but we already have a Rhiannon. LOL

One More Tomorrow - SOOOO 80's!!!! I love it!!! Sounds like it coulda been in a movie. LOL

The one problem I have with some of Stevie's demos are some sound generic...too similar. Some are just too painful to listen to. LOL
