Stevie — Country Timeline
This timeline is part fact and part forecast. I’ve been thinking about Stevie’s history with country songs and how fans have occasionally asked Stevie to do a country album.
1950s — AJ bonds with Stevie and performs with her in local bars. 1970s — Stevie writes a bunch of good country songs, including “That’s Alright,” “Garbo,” “The Grandfather Song” (“sing like you mean it / sing those timeless country songs”), “Leather and Lace,” and “After the Glitter Fades.” 2000s — Stevie sings “Red River Valley” on TV. 2000s — Stevie performs country songs with Lady Antebellum, Dixie Chicks, and a few others. 2024 — Beyoncé releases Cowboy Carter to much acclaim. 2025 — Stevie’s management convinces her to record a country album to ride Beyoncé’s coattails.

Funny you should mention the Grandfather Song.... she just mentioned it at a recent show saying "maybe I'll go home and w rite that Grandfather song and come back and sing it for you..." Like girl what? Haven't you said for decades now it was already written??
https://twitter.com/i/status/1790625069858713931 Oh, and btw, she seemed to throw shade on some of her fellow rockers (looking at you, Bon Jovi) saying when people ask her "How come you can still REALLY sing?" unlike other rockers her age it's because she practices with her vocal coach ..... https://x.com/steviest0rms/status/1790593070846685207 (though she is kinda slurry or unintellible for part of it)

A few more things for the timeline:
In 1989 she recorded I Still Miss Someone (Blue Eyes) from TOSOTM. In 1993 she recorded Destiny and Rose Garden for Street Angel. She released It’s Late, a country duet with Chris Isaak. I forget the year, but for Trouble in Shangri-La (2000?) she duetted with the Dixie Chicks on Too Far From Texas. On In Your Dreams, she recorded For What It’s Worth, a country song. In 2024 she duetted with Dolly Parton (even though it was a pop/rock song, it was with a country legend). |

For me, #1 and 2 ARE country songs. #4 is not. I don't know #3.

I think you'd actually like it. It was written by her in the 60s but was released on that 1994 album. |

You know, some people are only good for a couple of great albums, and that's it. They're done. Meet Stevie...

What does exactly define a country song?
I've always heard a country sound in Over my Head from the Live album, specially the intro.

I wonder what Greta would say?
