I was doing some research after buying the Crazy Horse album At Crooked Lake (The Curtis Brothers are on it) and stumbled onto this blog entry.

In 1974 they cut some demos with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who at that time were on option to the Polydor label, as were Rick and Mike Curtis. One of these demos was "Blue Letter" written by Rick Curtis which appears on the 1975 Fleetwood Mac album. The other was a song called "Seven league Boots" which features Stevie Nicks singing backup with Rick Curtis. This song was 50% sold to Steven Stills in 1980 and turned into "Southern Cross", in which Stills changed the lyrics and some of the arrangement and appears on the 1982 Crosby, Stills & Nash album "Daylight Again"

We all know that Lindsey and Stevie met and befriended the Curtis Brothers before they joined FM, but I'd never heard about the demos. Anybody know if it's floating around somewhere? Would be interesting to hear.

Also, anybody have the self titled Curtis Brothers album? I see some pretty cheap copies for sale, but I'd like to hear some thoughts on it first if I can.
