But she, Sheryl, "I get up at 6am with my kids" which forces her to juggle her life and working with Stevie's schedule.... because OF COURSE Stevie won't change HER schedule, not even considering someone has children or a family or whatever else in THEIR lives that makes it hard for them to just flip their work hours around to match hers. Doesn't matter... she's a LEGEND dammit, and everyone must bend to her wishes. Reminds me of her (and her posse) showing up at Harry Styles' and listening to his new album and then not only telling him all the ways she'd have done things differently but then staying all freaking night while he, exhausted, kept trying to figure how to get her the hell out so he could go to bed.

Haven’t we heard over the past few years that she is working on stuff with Greg Kurstin and Dave Stewart? The Kurstin talk was a few years ago and may have just been the cover of FWIW, but Stewart was back in December:

I wonder if she IS cobbling an album together with multiple producers, a la TISL.

She'll attach her rusty trailer hitch to Taylor's bumper with duct tape, if that's her only shot at eeking out 20 more seconds of stardom.

LOL!

Do you know how many bands would kill to sell 300,000 copies of their albums?

Its hilarious how much she REALLY wants mega commercial success, but unwilling to let go of her ego enough let a producer like Jack Antonoff take her table scraps and completely reinvent them into something. She's got this small circle of people she keeps coming back to because they know how to tiptoe around her. I wonder if she's using any of Mike Campbell's tracks that she was too busy to even send a "Thanks" in return.

Agreed. Brings me back to "Twisted" which has always been a peculiarity to me. I thought Lindsey did a great job with the song for the "Twister" soundtrack. It was like BuckinghamNicks.2. Then we heard she hated what he did to the song which always flummoxed me, especially when we were given not, one but two reworked versions approved by her, which (in my humble opinion) sucked buffalo chips. I'm largely intrigued and confused by what she envisions her work to become. "Gypsy" is another one. Listening to the early demos, its a nice enough rocker, but had Lindsey not molded it into the classic it became it would have easily fallen into the "nice-but-easily-forgotten" basket. I often wonder what other classics of her's with Lindsey's fingerprints on them she secretly begrudges but holds her tongue because they form the foundation of her legendary songwriting status.

I still want to know how many downloads of Show Them The Way there were. She did a lot of print interviews for its release and CBS New Sunday Morning. People said it was in the top 10 of iTunes download on the day of release but what does that mean? 100,000 downloads?

Oh, it's no doubt that he's a great producer. It's just that his mileage will vary greatly when it comes to Stevie and her demos.

Stevie's great weakness is and always has been since she started writing songs, that she cannot write good music - yes, she writes iconic lyrics like Rhiannon, Landslide, Silver Springs, etc - but her piano playing and guitar playing is... a bit s-h-i-t. I'm sorry to her fans (of which I am one), but the woman cannot play to save her life. She can accompany herself as a solo performer but not in the way Lindsey did with his One Man Show, etc, no - Stevie will never come close to that.

As such she relies too heavily on other musicians and electronic producers like Dave Stewart. If she had just focused on playing her instrument better back when she was still playing guitar and piano and not just using them as a writing tool for songwriting (this was only a brief period in her very early career)... maybe she could put out new songs now without paying Dave Stewart, Greg Kurstin and Sheryl Crow the megabucks.

Just my 2 cents.

It'd be great if Stevie had an album of brand new songs and not demos!
