I know Mick and Stevie were barely functional and John would have preferred to sail instead of lay down bass parts, but Christine, as usual, was there and present. She’s only not heard on the songs where Lindsey demands to do everything—or mostly everything—himself. She can hardly be blamed for that. She has always been a great team player and rarely gets acknowledged for this on Tango.
And for what it’s worth, Mick’s drumming on the title tune and Caroline are inspired; John’s bass lines on “Seven Wonders” and “Little Lies” are great.

I love her Tango contributions. She's so fluid. And BuckVie working together has always been a gem, in my opinion.
