Default "Down On Rodeo" - The lost Fleetwood Mac song...

I was just listening to the "Under the Skin" album (a genius work by Lindsey), and was reminded at the beauty of "Down on Rodeo."

It occurred to me that this song could have in fact been a perfect track for Fleetwood Mac. To me it just begs out to have Stevie and Christine on harmonies. I guess it is fitting that Mick and John are on this track (perhaps it is their rhythm section here that makes the song that much more Fleetwood Mac-ish). I, for one, would not mind if in fact this song was re-recorded for a Fleetwood Mac album now that the five are back together.

A stunning song for sure on, perhaps, the most beautiful album Lindsey made as a solo artist.

it's perfection. lush. gorgeous. as is. no need to add any other voices to it.

I skip the damn song. I think it's mediocre.

I like the song and think it sweet, but I don't get all the love for it.

For me, it's hard to love anything from Under the Skin. However, I do love Try for the Sun.

I love UTS album.

Isn't it common knowledge that Down on Rodeo was cut from Say You Will.
