When Lindsey left, Billy suggested Rick Vito since he'd been working on an album with him (Roy Orbison's Mystery Girl) & that Billy felt he couldn't handle the guitar parts alone. Rick already had a Fleetwood Mac connection since he had worked with John McVie for a short while when both were in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
