Still think Stevie is going to do the FM album?

The new person would probably cover a few Stevie songs. I don't hear Joe Walsh doing Gypsy or Gold Dust Woman.

Christine could sing a few of Stevie's songs or Stevie's songs could be sung by a guy with CM doing harmonies.

Since Stevie's and the Mac's rock tunes are in the same boat as Sheryl's .Maybe they should of tried it years ago.

Sheryl always had some country influences. Just because she made a country album doesn't mean she has somehow transformed herself into a full-on country artist. There are now more pop influences in country music than ever before, and vice verse. I don't think Sheryl's country album sold any better or worse than her other albums.

Fleetwood Mac has lots of country influences in some of their music. Entertaining the prospect that Fleetwood Mac's next/last album could be a country album, how would that be? Just referencing all the stereotypical topics/images: small towns, truck stops, country roads, farms, chickens and hen houses, mama in the kitchen, daddy working hard to make living, etc...? I just don't see that happening, especially not now.

Stevie has the potential to make a great country album. Her early influence was country music, and it's very evident in many of the songs she has written. She's like a rock and roll Dolly.

Yep. Before FM Waddy had Stevie listening to Dolly's records. It Stevie wants to do a countryish record why not take Dave and Waddy back to Nashville bring in the wrecking crew again and do a "Vault" record of her grandfathers songs.

He's been in big bands and had his share of solo hits not to mention it would add to the whole dysfunctional FM thing ( now there would be 3 ex boyfriends on stage) and after dealing with the Eagles do you think any FM soap opera would phase him? LB might enjoy having another guy to jam with on stage. Peter or Joe would give LB a run for the money.

Meh. The Eagles already ruined Stevie. No need to have one of them ruin Fleetwood Mac. I mean, James Gang Joe Walsh is a far cry from The Eagles Joe Walsh. And, I never need to hear Peter Frampton ever again. I think he's more overplayed been Fleetwood Mac.

Always interesting to see other artists performing Fleetwood Mac songs. This one was nothing special; just okay. I recognize the name Grace Potter. Not too impressed with her, based on this clip.

Excellent idea! I didn't know Waddy informed Stevie with Dolly. But it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the tidbit!

Have you EVER heard Christine sing one of Stevie's songs? That's probably the worst idea I've ever heard on The Ledge.

her Rhiannon isn't so hot either.

I'm really surprised they didn't just have Lindsey sing her songs--especially Gypsy. Weird.

ETA: listening again, that doesn't sound like it's Lindsey playing guitar…. is it Billy and Rick??

I'm pretty sure that's Lindsey. The guitar sounds like the Turner.

If you go and find Waddy's interview (here on the Ledge ) it's quite interesting.

Of course it would be different. Could you imagine SN singing "Songbird"? Although I wonder what an LB "Songbird" on the guitar would sound like?

He could have done an amazing solo acoustic instrumental version.

Question: Would you be more into the band if Frampton was added?

[lovethemac1]

I just don't get how Stevie could actually leave. She has always talked about how she would "never leave the band." She has also talked at length in the past about how Christine was her best friend and how she would love to have her back, and then when she came back- how nice it was to have her best friend back. Why would she leave now and not be involved. It doesn't make sense. She'd be doing exactly what she has always said she wouldn't do......and why she attacked Lindsey when he said he was leaving. I could be wrong, but I hope not.
