What are you looking at? Go through the other thread (about Christine working on a new album) and they have posted daily links. If you click on the show, then she begins talking right away. It's about 2 minutes long each day. She picks 2 new songs each day.

loved listening to these, especially the last 2. she sounds great and young!

so when she's asked "perhaps another solo album" she says yeah maybe. are there some places where she definitely said that new songs she's working on are planned for a solo album? because she's also talking about harmonies...

I think she's teasing us a little bit again.

She did say she felt like she was 30's again.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

And it shows, clearly.

[Excerpt from an interview with Tony Hadley]

http://au.news.yahoo.com/entertainme...ts-down-under/

Hadley credits his musical longevity to giving up smoking 15 years ago and the fact that he never stopped singing.

"I think the fact is I do it all the time. There was an interview with Christine McVie from Fleetwood Mac the other day and she said she's basically retired and hasn't sung for years.

"She said that was the most difficult aspect of getting back into song-writing - it's like any muscle: you have to retrain it again."

‘We always thought he was a genius’: Christine McVie is still awestruck by Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green

by Something Else! November 5, 2013

Christine McVie, a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1970-98, came in with a healthy appreciation for the group in its original blues-focused Peter Green-led incarnation. In fact, she could have almost been described as a groupie.

McVie, then Christine Perfect, was part of an precursor band called Chicken Shack that actually opened for Fleetwood Mac — giving her an early glimpse at his genius. Before long, she and bandmate Andy Silvester were going to shows to watch Green, whether Chicken Shack was on the bill or not.

“We were actually huge, huge fans,” she tells BBC Radio 2′s Ken Bruce. “We used to just trail around them, whatever pub they were playing in.” McVie describes her reaction to Green as being “awestruck. Everybody was awestruck by Peter. Except for [fellow late-1960s blues legend] Eric [Clapton], there was only Peter. To me really, these days, it’s still the case. We always thought he was superlative, a genius.”

Her appreciation for Green coalesced around a non-album single called “Man of the World,” this darkly emotional track that seems to explore his own sense of unfulfillment despite having reached such epic creative heights with the early Fleetwood Mac.

“Man of the World” was released in April of 1969, not long before the mercurial Green’s departure. 1970′s Kiln House would be Fleetwood Mac’s first without Green, and their first to feature McVie. Still, McVie — who would join Green in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame upon the band’s 1998 induction — never quite got over “Man of the World.”

This leads me to believe she's weighing her options.

Whatever option she chose, we are going to get something out of it, and that alone is a huge step.
