A Fleetwood Mac Christmas Album

[RavenOfRhiannon]

We all know Stevie did a wonderful 'Silent Night' in '87. What about a Mac Christmas album? Everyone pick one vocalist and one Christmas song. Any vocalist will do, Pre, Post, or Rumours lineup.

My choice? Christine McVie sings 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.'

Lindsey doing "Little Drummer Boy" or as a band number have "Rockin Around The CHristmas tree."

I <b><i>HATE</i></b> Christmas albums (aka-"Contractual obligation") but I would like to hear Stevie'a take on "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"...LOL!!!

Btw, I have heard a Lind's instrumental version of "Amazing Grace" on a bootleg cd and it sounded very interesting...

I'd like to hear Stevie sing Feliz Navidad ;). As it is, I love Christine's version of Coventy Carol, and Mick & Billy doing It Came Upon A Midnight Clear.

When I was Christmas shopping this weekend, I walked into Macy's & Stevie's version of Silent Night started playing.

I was just thinking about this the other day! I'd like Lindsey to do "What Child Is This." I think he could do some nice acoustic guitar work on that.

Really? That's something I'd love to hear!

I love it when pop/rock singers/groups do Christmas songs.
However, I think it would be something too happy and normal
for our Mac to do!:laugh:

At any rate here is my fantasy Christmas Mac album.

1) Frosty The Snowman - Stevie
2) We Three Kings - Lindsey
3) Santa Baby - Stevie
4) The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) - Lindsey
5) Silver Bells - Stevie
6) All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth - Lindsey (Singing it all
Tusk-like and weird, for his kids.:nod: )
7) Hark The Herald - Stevie
8) Deck The Hall - Lindsey (Picture him singing the "fa la la la la's" all Tusk-like
and weird. Or maybe Stevie should sing this one since the "fa la la la la's" could be done "Stand Back" style.)
9) The Twelve Days Of Christmas - Stevie (Its long, drawn out and repetitive.
C'mon, Stevie could make it COMPELLING:laugh: .)
10) I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - Lindsey (Again, for his kids):wavey:

Any idea where I can get this on an original CD? I've got a copy but I'm looking for an original. Just thought you might've come across one since the Holiday CD's have hit the stores is all. :)

Sorry John, all I've got is the mp3. I'm not sure where the track originated... does anybody else know?

[The Chain]

How about a Lindsey, Stevie duet of "Let It Snow" or "Winter Wonderland";)

[Nicks Fan]

I would like to get these two songs mentioned . I f anyone knows what albums Coventry Carol and It Came Upon A Midnight Clear are off of I would appreciate an answer. Thanks

Matt

[Johnny Stew]

I don't know why, but I've always thought it would be cool to hear Stevie & Lindsey do "Baby, It's Cold Outside."

Well, here’s where I talk about the “Season’s greetings” CD that I know of has the Mick & Billy ICUAMC:

http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11992&highlight=seasons+greetings

...and just have a look through Christine’s “guest appearances” section of The Penguin discography to see a few albums (though I’m sure there’s more than this now) that have Christine’s “Coventry Carol” on it but here’s a link to The Penguin discography page for the one I have in my collection:

http://www.fleetwoodmac.net/penguin/albums/tacobell.htm

Though little is known about when/where/with whom CM’s CC was recorded etc. I have a hunch that this was one of the (if not, “the”) earliest collection(s) that had this recording.

Hope that helps, and let me know if you come across any comps this year that have the MF & Billy ICUAMC on it, I’m sure we’ll be able to work out a trade (if you do find one) or whatever. :)

John

P.S. No problem Tiff. :)

[macmar71]

I could hear Lindsey doing "Winter Wonderland," and "Blue Christmas".
Stevie's raspy voice covering "Please Come Home For Christmas," "Silver Bells," and "White Christmas".
Christine has that sweet voice that I can hear doing "O Holy Night," and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."

[sodascouts]

I'd love to hear Stevie and Lindsey rock out to "Run Rudolph Run"

~Alex

[xdreamsunwindx]

Meh. I hate most Christmas music :(. But, here are a few...

Stevie- Please Come Home For Christmas
Lindsey- Blue Christmas
Christine- Merry Christmas Darling (I know that nobody could top Karen Carpenter's version, but I think that Chris would do it justice.)

That's all I can think of. lol.

[jwys_soapbox]

Just out of curiosity, what is the time on the Coventry Carol? I have one that is less than two minutes. I know there are other verses to the song, so I was wondering if I have a one verse edit?

The one I have is (approx.) just 1:48 (unfortunately) and I think most CD's CM's CC has been released on are the same, some may even be shorter because of some misprints on some that apparently sound sped up.

I'd love a lindsey-version of jona lewies' can you stop the cavelry
