Sheryl Crow still wants to join Fleetwood Mac

[24karatstevie]

Just wondering why Lindsey had a problem with Sheryl joining the band? Is it just because it would be someone new?

She is a close friend of Stevie's.

I think it was, "how would it work?" Would FM play Sheryl songs like a backing band? Would she step into Chris's songs? I remember seeing some interview where he could not wrap his head around how you could combine the two entities that were as big as they are.
I agree with him. It would have been clunky.

I love Sheryl but this would never have worked at that point in time. The "Buckingham Nicks " years of the MAC were great now it's time for the "return" of Buckingham McVie.

Sheryl is a talented singer-songwriter and performer, but there's no way she would have worked in FM.

Right, just because you have two appealing acts, doesn't mean they'd be appealing together or mesh.

That was a disaster waiting to happen.

Ask Dave Mason.

And, really, it's not like that would have been new. It's not like they didn't do Stand Back, HAEWAFY, Go Insane, Get Like You Used To Be, I'd Rather Go Blind, and Don't Let Me Down Again.

It was a terrible idea, I'm glad he and whoever else didn't want it made sure it didn't happen.

Agree 100%

Agree 100 with those who are glad it didn't happen. For some reason my response didn't show where it thought it would.

Until Christine came back, Colbie Caillat would have been my pick. She had a few of her own hits, her voice could easily cover Christine's songs, and there's a natural connection with the band, although I didn't know how bad relations between Ken and the band had gotten.

Colbie was just playing a venue with Mick in Maui a week or two ago. She sounded great on GYOW.

"Lindsey Buckingham BANNED This A-Lister From Joining Fleetwood Mac
Sheryl Crow reportedly was set to join pal Stevie Nicks and her band, Fleetwood Mac, but member Lindsey Buckingham nixed it."

apparently Fleetwood Mac is "Nicks' band" but nevertheless some lowly member of that band managed to ban Sheryl from joining.
