Stevie Nicks | Lindsey Buckingham and the Grammy Possibilities

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham

Two amazing artists putting out arguably their best solo material 

Could a Grammy be next?

2011 has been an incredible year for both Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.  Within the span of 5 months both have put out critically and to a certain extent commercially successful albums.  They have both toured North America this spring, summer and fall and continue to tour with upcoming shows booked in the UK and Australia. They have surrounded themselves with incredible musicians backing them up in the studio and on the road which resulted in two stellar albums, cool videos and really amazing interesting live performances in some great historic venues!  It goes without saying that each has had an amazing run as a solo artists over the years, not to mention being members of Fleetwood Mac, so to see this level of artistic achievement from them at this stage in their careers is just mind blowing... And both show no signs of stopping now!  In fact it almost feels like they are just getting started!  They continue to roll on with Lindsey releasing a live DVD/CD package out Oct 31st in the UK & November 1st in North America and Stevie is reportedly prepping her "Making of" In Your Dreams documentary.  It's also been an incredible year for fans on both sides of the fence so any Grammy nominations on top of all this would just be icing on the cake!

I'm really excited for both of them and wish them both the best of luck as the list of artists and their submissions is fairly lengthy with a lot of really great performers this year hoping to grab a nomination.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

Here's a list of submissions for Grammy consideration for both Lindsey and Stevie.  Actual nominations are announced at some point in December with awards given out early next year.

Stevie and her team have submitted two songs in 5 categories. "Secret Love" for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Short Form Music Video categories.  They have also submitted "Soldiers Angel" in the Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song categories.  Stevie's album "In Your Dreams" was also placed in the Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year categories.  Lindsey Buckingham and his team have submitted his album "Seeds We Sow" in for consideration in the Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year categories with the lead single "In Our Own Time" being submitted to the Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year categories. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH!!

BRIEF EXPLAINING EACH CATEGORY:

Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks - 2 singles Impacting Radio

Both Stevie and Lindsey have new singles out promoting their respective albums Stevie with "For What It's Worth" and Lindsey with "In Our Own Time".  Lindsey's tune is so far impacting at Triple A stations and was picked up by 5 stations today.. That's great!  Stevie's track has been building slowly since it's release in July primarily at AC stations with a  few Triple A stations picking up the track.  Stevie's track should officially enter Billboards Top 30 AC chart within the next week or two and with the video for the song expected in the next few weeks it will only help with awareness. Lindsey's song was just released so it still needs to build up some radio spins before it hits any charts.  No word on whether a video will be serviced or not.  Good news all around!

Review: Lindsey Buckingham ‘IN OUR OWN TIME’ ★★★★✩

Throughout his career, Fleetwood Mac‘s Lindsey Buckingham has consistently kept the listener guessing as to what his next move would sound like, and his new single ‘In Our Own Time’ strikes a compelling groove while maintaining that sense of mystery.

‘In Our Own Time’ is the first official single from Buckingham’s new album ‘Seeds We Sow,’ which he’s describing as possibly the best work he’s ever done. Buckingham makes specific reference to the “tools” of his musical vocabulary when calling the album an “excellent representation” of what he does.

Listening to ‘In Our Own Time,’ it’s evident that Buckingham has been quite busy in that toolshed, as the single puts forth a sound that is so experimentally out there that it’s not immediately clear who exactly you’re listening to in the initial moments.

First NEW Lindsey Buckingham Track Due Next Week!

According to a tweet by @brianoneal just a short time ago, the first track from Lindsey's new album "Seeds We Sow" will get some sort of release through Topspin, which is a technology-focused direct-to-fan marketing, management and distribution platform.  According to their facebook page, they help artists manage their catalogs, connect with fans and generate demand for music.

Cool!  So this could be the release of the first single "In Our Own Time"...
