Unless there are more "in the can" that haven't been discovered & circulated, that's it.
He also covered Donovan..."Try For The Sun".

I'm familiar with at least a few of the original versions of some of Lindsey's Stones covers, and I can try and figure out how to put some up on YouSendit later if anybody's interested in them. I like what Lindsey did with them, but as someboy else mentioned, they're fairly faithful renditions, just a little Lindsey-fied. I wonder if he just happened to be on a big Stones kick at some point and decided to use some of their mid-60s material as templates for some his own production ideas. Lindsey's versions are more headphones songs than the Stones' originals, and I'm guessing we lose quite a bit of that aspect of the productions with the compressed mp3s we've got, leaving us to think they're just quaint little covers. I wonder if there's much more depth to the sound in the top-quality copies Lindsey's got. |

Now it could be that some of these were just suggestions. After all, 17 songs is a lot for one album. Unless it was meant to be one of those double albums in terms of the vinyl era, like SYW with its 18 tracks is.

But what if he covered these Stones songs because he liked what they already had to say? I really don't know what his reasoning was. I'm just suggesting possibilities outside the usual "Steviefied" realm of the lyrics being the sole vessel of meaning, or in this case the sole cause of Lindsey's reasoning.

Without knowing what Lindsey's reasoning was, we can still state pretty firmly that the chords of these songs aren't anything particularly different from what Lindsey is typically inclined to compose himself. Really, not knowing that "Gotta Get Away" or "The Singer Not The Song" is a Stones tune, you'd more than likely assume it was a Lindsey Buckingham song, as I did before Les or somebody told me these were old Stones songs. Lyrically, I have less of an opinion, mainly because I'm less familiar with how a typical Jagger/Richards lyric is distinguishable from a Buckingham lyric. Besides, lyric-writing styles are so frequently mimicked in rock that anyone would be hard-pressed to pin down authorship or influence in most songs. Ali, you've started a marvelous thread & I really love you!

You asked in an earlier post for artists who have released albums that weren't specifically covers-only projects (though I'm not sure why that would make a difference) but nonetheless contained multiple covers. The first one I can think of off the top of my head is a Canadian singer-songwriter called Feist who recently released an album that is half covers and half originals: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=music If she's not "major" enough for you (though Lindsey solo is anything but major himself), then I'll mention Willie Nelson, whose last album included a handful of original songs, a handful of songs that other songwriters had written for him, and a few covers, including Tom Waits' "Picture in a Frame" and the Allman Brothers Band's "Midnight Rider." And then of course there are all of Johnny Cash's albums with Rick Rubin. Or will you say country musicians don't count for some reason? |

But what's so incredibly odd about it? The Byrds jump-started their career doing it; their first album was titled Mr. Tambourine Man and included an additional three Dylan tunes aside from the title track. And Manfred Mann revitalized his career in the mid-70s by forming the Earth Band and butchering at least three great Springsteen songs. |

I'm a big fan of the Stones originals as well as the Lindsey covers. He made them truly unique, textural and interesting, which is saying alot because I personally find covers pretty tricky to pull off successfully. He brought something original to some already great songs and I fail to see that it was somehow a bad idea to rework songs that he happens to be fan of himself. Hell, he could do 10 more for all I care.
