Default The Lumineers take on Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way”

The Lumineers Cover Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way”

Before their performance at last year’s Grammy Celebration, The Lumineers stopped by a private performance area for a special web series that would be released months later.

Today, Grammy.com officially launched the ReImagined Series, an interview and performance-based series that highlights how contemporary artists were influenced by past Grammy winners.

Covers range from The Shins taking on Bukka White to TJ Stafford covering the Beastie Boys. In the first installment, The Lumineers take on Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way,” a cut from their legendary album Rumors. Check out the video above.

That was interesting. I liked it well enough.

Although it seems such a shame to me to have two people singing the melody on the chorus and ignore the harmony so entirely.

Great interpretation. I like it when younger bands out-Lindsey Lindsey. This is the kind of thing I was looking for in his one-man show: fresh takes on songs we've heard a million times.

Very interesting. But I would't buy it from Lindsey. There's a series of things missing here: the urge, the bite, the devastation underneath.

Sure,, they added sadness and beauty. But Lindsey has to sing it as Lindsey. Not with every song. But with this one. The only cover I REALLY dig of this song, is the Total destruction by NOFX

Nice to see a new cover. I like the band, but this isn't a very inspired version. People often mistake Fleetwood Mac's music for being simple and easy to cover - but the tunings are often unusual and hard to pin down. Which is why there has never really been another band that can do what they do.

I liked the verses, less the choruses. I have a bone to pick with SF Lumineer fans, so it's hard for me to like the group, but that's not fair to them

Ugh, hated it. I'm funny about certain songs, and this is one of them. This song is in my top ten of all time, so I'm hard to please.

Musically, not the best, but love these harmonies:

They may not have been able to pull it off, or decided it didn't suit the tone of this version. But I know what you mean.

I thought the whole thing was rather lovely. The differing tone added a fresh take on the lyrics which I really appreciated.

Am I supposed to know who The Lumineers are, though? I'm old-at-heart and need guidance on things like that.
