Hot Summer Nights - Walter Egan/Stevie/Lindsey

Caroline - Danny Kirwan
Caroline - Fleetwood Mac (Lindsey)

Silver Streams - Danny Kirwan
Silver Springs - Fleetwood Mac (Stevie)

Castaway - Danny Kirwan
Castaway (outtake from 1981) - Stevie Nicks

Only You - Danny Kirwan

"The Ghost" was a Bob Welch song, not Danny Kirwan.

Yeah and though I agree with a lot of these connections, some I hadn't even thought of before, I think these are a stretch:

Hot Summer Day - Danny Kirwan
Hot Summer Nights - Walter Egan/Stevie/Lindsey

Only You - Danny Kirwan
Only Over You - Fleetwood Mac

It is funny though how Danny is sort of Stevie & Lindsey rolled into one, musically similar to LB yet lyrically not far removed from SN.

Has Stevie ever openly talked about Danny Kirwan or his contributions to the band's history?

That's why Danny is my 3rd fave FM member. He's the best of LB and SN.

To this day Danny is the most under appreciated/underrated FM member in the band's colourful history. He had so much super-star potential and imagine the Rumours band as a six-piece. What he could have contributed to the band would have been phenomenal (not to mention the drama If he and Buckingham could have kept their egos and indulgences in check, they would have been close to the Kirwan-Green pairing and up there in the same breath as any of the great guitar duos in rock.

Many tunes on his post-Mac solo albums are outstanding and have mid-70's blockbuster written all over them, easily as good as anything from the genre, but sadly it wasn't to be. I read somewhere that the Kirwan and Green story is a big gap in music history, and a story that needs to be fully told to the masses.

Coincidence or conspiracy? Hmm..it's sort of eerie.

Danny is criminally overlooked and underestimated. As his songs evolved, he was creating the bridge where they began to transition from a blues band to a pop/rock band. It's so sad he couldn't hold it together, and continue to have a prominent, life-long music career; so much talent and potential lost to the world.

I agree. Danny's pretty amazing. I feel he and Stevie would have had a much better shot at writing together than her with Lindsey. That actually could be said for Bob too. My mind's kind blown from the idea of a seven-piece FM. I imagine that only could last an album before everybody killed each other, hahaha.

I've never heard anything though I think I heard LB once say he felt Danny's style was closer to his than the other previous FM members (in terms of songs he "had to do" when S&L first joined).

That's so unfortunate if Mick's statement still is true. I'd love to see him as the backup guitarist on the tour. A pipe dream, but still great.
