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."

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.

THE DAUGHTER OF STING, COCO SUMNER COVERS FLEETWOOD MAC'S "THE CHAIN"

The teenage daughter of rock legend STING dropped by The Sun in the UK for a Biz Session, playing new single "Self Machine" and a cover of FLEETWOOD MAC's "The Chain"

.

But the singer - who performs under the name I BLAME COCO - admits she might need to toughen up to compete in the strong female-heavy UK music market.

After showing off her stunning set of pipes in the three-song acoustic set, Coco, who wore a feather in her hair, told me: "The female music world is very strong at the moment.

Watch Coco perform "The Chain" by clicking the photo below, it will take you to The Sun website for the video player and you can watch the rest of her session...  She's got a bit of her Dad in her voice.

Florence and the Machine Cover Fleetwood Mac at Glastonbury - Spinner

Florence and the Machine Cover Fleetwood Mac at Glastonbury - Spinner

Florence Welch has an affinity with Glastonbury. Long before she was crowned the BBC's Sound of 2009, or the Brit Awards rising star, Welch was playing Glastonbury with Florence and the Machine – if any British festival suits her slightly otherworldly Renaissance aesthetic, it is Worthy Farm's.

For the last 18 months -- last year's Glasto included -- Florence and the Machine have been taking their debut album 'Lungs' around the world, with Welch earning a reputation as one of the UK's most transfixing frontwomen.

So how does she repay the crowd during her early evening Other Stage slot on Friday? Well, with a cover. One which she vowed would be just for Glastonbury.

"This is pretty much my favourite song of all time," she told the crowd. "All my heroes are in this band and I thought they were going to be here but they're not."

She added, "We're never going to play it again. We hope you enjoy it Glastonbury, this one's just for you." The band then broke into Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain,' a track from their 1977 mega-seller 'Rumours.' The huge whoops that greeted the song's trademark bass-led instrumental break were no accident -- this part of the song has been used in BBC promos for their Formula One coverage. Any petrol heads enjoying Welch's impressive live performance will have been given an extra opportunity to cheer, just this once.

STEVIE NICKS Concert Ticket Prices - Santa Barbara

Concert Ticket Prices - Santa Barbara Edhat: "By Edhat Subscriber

Stevie Nicks at the SB Bowl - concert is August 4 - tickets on sale this Sat at 11 am.

Thing is, 'sticker price' is $128 (for the best seats)! For a Wed nite too. Holy moly that's high. ALL other concerts announced so far are lower. Steve Miller with Los Lobos is a Sat night and they are $80. Willie Nelson on a Thurs nite is $83. (Comparable seats.)

I love Stevie, glad I saw her at the Bowl a few years ago, because I'm not sure I'm willing to spend $150 on one ticket this year (after taxes and fees).

My advise to this poster would be not to buy the best seats! There are cheaper seats available.... Ticketmaster is offering a price range beginning at $39.00 (plus fees of course).
