Which SENTIMENTAL LADY is your fave?
The Bare trees version, or the Bob solo one?
On both you can hear Chris. I think Lindsey and almost all the Rumours lineup played in that Bob album. |

I adore the 2nd version-- LB's guitar adds so much texture, and just the arrangement and production are easier on the ear, IMO. Bob's voice sounds a lot smoother also. I vividly remember loving this song a a kid and singing along w/ Chris' 'all that i need is you' at the end. :-) I had (still have) a cool dad who used to crank up the car radio and surround me w/ neat music.
I've always thought the FM version drags a bit and has this annoying hiss to it. I thought only Chris and Lindsey played on the later version?? -Lis |

I love both versions but I would have to stick with the original because I thought Bob sang with more urgency than he did on the remake. I do like Lindsey's playing on that version though.

I also love both versions, but the original Bare Trees version is still my favorite, mainly because I love Christine's vocals better on it.
Didn't everyone from the Rumours line-up except Stevie play on Bob's solo version? I seem to remember Mick & John played on it too in addition to Christine & Lindsey. Last edited by macfan 57; 05-27-2004 at 05:19 AM.. |

I knew this song was familiar with it but didn't really know who it was. It hit me one day how much I really did like it. Bare Tree's was the 2nd Fleetwood Mac cassette that I purchased after Then Play On. The first song on the cassette was "Sunny Side of Heaven". I was thrilled. It had the Fleetwood Mac sound that I was familiar by the songs done by the Rumours lineup. When the I heard the second song "Sentimental Lady", I was astonished! Here's the song that I knew and was interested in and I stumbled upon it by chance. Yet, it was different from the song I knew from the radio. I even wondered if it was a standard by another artist and Fleetwood Mac was doing their own version. I eventually figured it out, this was the original.
I also do like both versions. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I like hearing the extra verse on the original and to me it seems to have more of a full band sound. Bob's remake with help from the band is nicely done though. |

I still prefer the Bare Trees version, mainly because of Christine's backing vocals, which are much more prominent and important to the song.
Song of the moment - Bare Trees

You're welcome, oh, and of course LB does vocals on it too, forgot to say before.

I love the Bare Trees version. It's in my top 40 Fleetwood Mac songs.

Don't forget there's a THIRD version on his recent Fleetwood Mac Years & Beyond album.

Tough call for me. I love Lindsey's finger-picking (which really should go without saying) on the "French Kiss" album, but I also love the guitar solo (that classic guitar-through-Leslie-speaker sound that doesn't get played enough) on the Mac version. I still haven't gotten Bob's new album (I know, I just keep forgetting to get it). I also prefer Bob's vocals on the original, but the "French Kiss" version was great, too.
