[From an interview with Lee Aaron]

One of my favorite bands growing up was FLEETWOOD MAC. When the Rumours album came out I remember listening to it over and over. What made that album great was the fact that they have several writers in the band each with different influences. It really comes through in the music. You’ve got Christine McVie doing a tender piano ballad. “The Chain” and “Gold Dust Woman” are heavy, blues/rock songs. There’s “Second Hand News", which borders on bluegrass with Lindsey Buckingham’s influence and guitar playing. Then there’s “Dreams”, which is a straight-ahead rock/pop song. That record is so fantastic because FLEETWOOD MAC still sounds like a cohesive band. The album takes you on a musical journey. It’s interesting every time you listen to it and that’s what merits its longevity.
