Whoa there, Steve-o. Studio work is only a PART of Rick's career...to label him as a "studio musician" is wrong. Sure, he's done tons of session work, but he's also a gifted songwriter and a very entertaining live performer, as well. His solo career has been pretty successful to this point, too, and seems to be growing with each album. He seems to be doing fewer sessions and more of his own stuff (recording, touring, etc).
The reason he didn't do so well in Fleetwood Mac is that he wasn't allowed to. (listen to his songs that DIDN'T make it on
Behind The Mask; MUCH better than the ones that did)
