When I discovered Stevie at 14, it was a thrill that there were a couple of albums before Rock A Little I could buy. Then, Fleetwood Mac and my pocket money gone for months so I could get their back catalogue. I liked Tusk the least, at first but over time it became my all time favourite album.
I love it as is but have a Mac fantasy in which Stevie and Chris went in for some Lindsey style experimentation... Imagine!
I love the strangeness of Lindsey's songs, the raggedness of Chris's (compared to the usual polish) and the range (in music and vocals) of Stevie's. I still find parts in the arrangements of the Tusk songs that I've never noticed before.
