Work your magic Stevie!!

WITH QUOTES LIKE THIS YOU CAN'T HELP BUT GET EXCITED!!

David Wild (Wildaboutmusic): "Stevie collaborates with some old friends in new ways. The result so far is powerful & deeply personal. There's blood on these tracks."

"Okay since my tennis game was rained out: there are lots of ghosts, vampires on Stevie Nicks' upcoming album, but mostly stunning songs."

I'm a bit perplexed by the "collaborates with some old friends in new ways". What's the "new ways" mean?... Dave Stewart mentioned they were recording in a "new way" as well back a couple of months ago...

MORE:

"Between @DaveStewart and Waddy Wachtel on guitars, the new Stevie Nicks material rocks, on a number of levels."


"Last Stevie Nicks update d'jour: The album's still being made. It'll come out exactly . . . when it comes out. And it will be GREAT."

STEVIE NICKS IN THE STUDIO

Dave just sent out a live shot via Twitter of Stevie playing tambourine in the recording studio.  Waddy Wachtel, Mike Rowe, Mike Bradford & Steve Ferrone are also there.  Rolling Stone contributing editor David Wild also dropped by this night.

This is Dave's last day in the Studio with Stevie, he's off to Nashville to start work on his own album.  Not sure if his work is done here with Stevie or if he comes back to the project after Nashville.  If not, then it appears the initial recording of the material is finished and what's left to be done is the mixing, mastering and all that other fun stuff I know nothing about - but know can take months to finish.  

She looks amazing!

DAVID WILD PAYS STEVIE NICKS A VISIT IN THE STUDIO

Well this is kinda interesting! A little earlier today David Wild posted on Twitter that he was going into the studio today to see Stevie Nicks and that he'd ask her the best question sent in to him... There were a few responses... But the interesting part is...what's he up too? Is David just paying Stevie a friendly visit, or is he putting together a piece on Stevie to appear either on the Huffington Post?... Or in the pages of Rollingstone?

We'll have to wait and see.

[update]
After David returned from his visit, he sent out a tweet: "Just back from a wild night in the studio with the great Stevie Nicks & @DaveStewart. First reaction to this work in progress: WOW.

"I will elaborate and share details soon. But for tonight, I'll stand by that WOW. And a good wow too."

David is a Contributing Editor for Rolling Stone, writes for the Huffington Post and also is Producer of The Chris Isaak Hour on the Bio Channel that Stevie appeared on early in 2009. One of David's connections to Fleetwood Mac is he wrote the foreword in the liner notes of 2002 Very Best Of CD.
