Actually Dave is pretty respected as an arranger and producer in the industry.

There's a seventies Fleetwood Mac sound (mountain folk music and Byrds harmonies) and there's an eighties Fleetwood Mac sound (androgynous harmonies and adult contemporary [AC] music), and Destiny Rules is one of the few examples I can think of after 1979 of the seventies Fleetwood Mac sound. It's why I love it so much. It's that roots country sound mixed with a little psychedelia and flower-child melodicism (like One Tin Soldier or Teresa Kelly's Johnnie from the Billy Jack soundtrack, or Fleetwood Mac's own World Turning, Over My Head, The Chain, I Don't Want to Know, and That's All for Everyone). It's the Fleetwood Mac image of the inner-sleeve photo of Rumours—the Fleetwood Mac of cutoffs, wine bottles, suede boots, beards, and greasy facial skin.

What about the instrumental part of "Murrow"? Isn't that in the vein of the classic seventies FM sound? Last edited by cbBen; 01-03-2019 at 07:38 PM.. |

Listening now, I hear how "Destiny Rules" has much less in the way of bells and whistles than, say, "Running Through The Garden."

Murrow doesn't sound like classic Mac to me at all. It sounds more like a Lindsey solo track.

Murrow is a great song, many interesting elements there. it was also that new direction while still firmly FM that Lindsey was trying to take FM in, to get them to still be musically relevant. something that majority of band members kept resisting since Tusk.

Some very interesting and perceptive comments in this thread about SYW. I was always struck by the fact that - apart from being named as an 'additional performer'- Christine is virtually ignored on this release. I expected-perhaps naively- the album to be dedicated to her, but no. Same at the concerts on the SYW tour: not a mention, almost as if she had never existed or contributed to the band. This was borne out later by LB's comments that, basically, she had left, she was gone for good and that was that, her decision etc. etc. This subsequently made me think that, deep down, it must have been a somewhat bitter pill for him to swallow when she returned to the fold in 2014.
Indeed , this has been a feature of this band: once someone has died/left, that's it - gone and -apparently-forgotten .Sad! That said, I love the album and the sound and production (apart from the fact that it could shed two or three songs) |

After revisiting the song "Destiny Rules," I started to think maybe Lindsey should have been less dismissive of Lord-Alge, who I note mixed Out Of The Cradle (odd how that–and whether Lindsey was unhappy with his work–never came up in Destiny Rules). Lindsey's complaint in Destiny Rules that Lord-Alge works fast never seemed convincing to me, because what counts is how good a job he does. Stevie acquiesced to not using him, but even her reasoning made little sense, other than social harmony.
Then I found this interview with Lord-Alge. His persona couldn't be more different from Lindsey's, but he seems to know what he's doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYElkX6nLvs Last edited by cbBen; 02-03-2019 at 05:53 PM.. |

In my opinion there are some people who have never liked Lindsey for whatever reason and will never admit that he is a major part of why they got so big. SN is the draw for sure but if the music wasn't any good I don't think they would have had the success they did. If they hadn't made Tusk but instead copied the Rumors formula who knows where they would be. If they didn't like him or respect him then they won't do it now. I have accepted that some people will defend Mick and or SN to the death as well as the endless GH tours. I don't get it but that's on them. How many times do you need to hear Gypsy, Rhiannon, Dreams, Landslide, GDW, GYOW,The Chain etc? |

But they made a choice to go on without him. Because she's the boss.

Without Stevie, Lindsey would never have been part of Fleetwood Mac either:
1. No record contract for Lindsey without Stevie (certainly not in time for the FM opening). 2. No "Frozen Love" solo to attract Mick's interest without Stevie. 3. Lindsey likely turns down the offer to join without Stevie's advice to take it. Last edited by cbBen; 02-03-2019 at 12:10 PM.. |
