Stevie said the record called "White Rabbits on the Run" Is it just a slip of tongue? What dou you think?

Pretty sure it was a slip. It probably doesn't help "white rabbits on the run" is a line in Carousel. VC has referred to the album as just "Rabbits on the Run" several times.

She said she was grateful for "A Thousand Miles" because it allowed her to completely peel from the major label system she is in. Hmmm... did something happen? If anything, you would think "A Thousand Miles" let her stay in the major label system.

:DD

oh my god. /initial reaction

vanessa sounds so incredibly good at these sunset sessions.

also, the saddest, most wistful rendition of "a thousand miles" i've ever heard. this song has never made me so incredibly sad. heart-stopping within the first twenty seconds. it's so much softer than i'm used to.

I agree. This version is really great.

ATM gave her the financial backbone to break away from the major label system if she wanted creative control of her music, which she did (and was the main reason she left A&M in the first place). There was a story she told once in concert about how A&M basically told her that she would do everything they tell her, or they were going to let her go, so she left. Without the bankroll ATM made, a decision like that is made much more difficult. If V has invested her money well she probably can be set on royalties from ATM for a while.

Those videos are nothing short of amazing. I connected to each and every one of those songs on such a different level. ATM sneaked up out of no where and did the same! I haven't felt that way for that song in SUCH a long time. I am so happy that she looks so happy and refreshed and just ready to go! I loved Carousel, it was AMAZING. Oh and again for IDWTBAB. New fav song.

I agree. It was the best performance of the song I've ever heard. And maybe, that's the way it really was before the commercialism of the song.

It was just pure passion and love.

And did anyone heard Stevie said that she's been listening to the record several times?

Wow. She's really lucky.

[itsthefiveofus]

I know! The first think I thought was *JEALOUS!!!*

[WhiteRabbit]

These recordings are just... Wow. I cannot wait for the album

Okay, so I found this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1BQcvKImdk or Carousel with Stevie Nicks. It's a different recording than what's been posted previously. Personally, I think you can hear the guitar and backing vocals from Ari more than in the first link. And Vanessa looks so happy.
