The fact is making music with Lindsey wasn’t fun for Stevie and by agreeing to release a Fleetwood Mac album as LBCM and play along with the whole duet album thing last year, Lindsey accepted on some level that any project credited to Fleetwood Mac would have to have Stevie’s participation, and Stevie’s made it clear that she won’t make a new album with him.

Except for Dave Stewart with IYD (and who knows how that's changed since she hasn't said a word about him since 24KG and it seems as if their working relationship is dunzo), Stevie practically never has fun making music with anyone. She's clashed/fallen out with almost all of her producers and has complained about other people she's worked with. Jimmy Iovine, Rick Nowels, Keith Olsen, whatever went down with Rupert Hine, Glyn Johns etc etc. She called Kenny Loggins a slave driver, Lindsey an ayatollah, she even complained about Don Henley. I even heard an old Lindsey interview where he was talking about working with Stevie on her IYD album and he talked about how she was happy during that record and she hadn't been happy on her last solo records, which means she probably wasn't even too thrilled with her bestie Sheryl! But the thing about all of those people is that Stevie could choose to work with Don or Kenny and she had the power to fire her producers/they had the ability to walk away from the project (both of which happened). But she could never do that with Lindsey since he was a member of the band too-- and he was the member who got most of the work done-- so she had to stay working with him for years because she didn't have the power/ability to fire him. Until now it seems.
