Stevie's new album In Your Dreams is out now in many countries around the world and has been for about a month. The album is being loved and heralded by not only the fans, but by critics and reviewers (Album Reviews) as her best since the early 80's. In Your Dreams is about to drop in the UK in just a few short weeks (June 27th) to great anticipation by the UK fans. With the Summer touring season virtually upon us where do we find ourselves? We find ourselves looking at a blank slate in terms of scheduled live solo dates touring behind this really amazing new album... Aside from the one show in the UK June 26th at the Hard Rock Calling Festival and the previously reported tour in Australia this November there isn't anything lined up, that we know of, for North America this summer/fall. Yes, Stevie wasn't completely absent from the road this year. She toured with Rod Stewart in March/April covering 18 major markets in the US/Canada where she included one new song in that set from the new album "Secret Love". That was great for what it was, which was introducing her music to pretty much an audience that wasn't necessarily there to see her - but to see Rod.
The real issue is that The Wiltern Birthday Bash show May 26th proved that adding an astounding amount of new music to the set (8 new songs from the new album) can be done and should be done. What an exciting night it was to be in that audience... I can't even tell you! Not only did it prove that the new songs can be played alongside the older solo and Fleetwood Mac favourites, it can be done to great success. The balance of The Wiltern show between older material and new material was perfect!! The audience ate it up... I know, I was there... Granted it was an Album Release Concert so you would expect a great deal of the album to be previewed but the music sounded so good that night. Stevie's band was tight, they played the new music with such ease it looked as if they had been playing this music for years... Stevie, Sharon and Lori were on their game that night looking and sounding phenomenal. Fans all over should have the opportunity to experience something similar - they deserve it and the new music deserves to be heard live!! With the exception of one song in the set "Soldiers Angel" everything played that night is completely road worthy. With "Soldiers Angel" where Lindsey sings and plays back up, I don't think you can touch that song unless he's going to be there. Just my opinion.
Dave Stewart the album co-producer, co-writer, duet partner, videographer on a couple of tracks from the album was at The Wiltern May 26th and added a great deal to the overall show... He's set to tour with Stevie in Australia come November and I believe he'd totally be on board if a trek across North America were put into place... Dave included would just be an added bonus if it happened and would tie everything the two of them have worked on over the last year and a half together nicely...
There has been talk of something in the works for Stevie touring in North America sometime in August/September - but nothing has been announced and we are already into June. If it's going to happen, it needs to happen pretty quick!
