Rick Vito: Rattlesnake Shake question

[SteveMacD]

Is that the Traffic song "Hole In My Shoe" he does, the one written by Dave Mason? If so, then is this the first time somebody in Fleetwood Mac has covered a song by somebody who replaced them?

That's what I thought when I first saw the tracklist, but alas, no it is NOT the Dave Mason song.

I don't know if that's the same song, although (edit) now I see that it isn't :)

However there was a similar scenario when Danny Kirwan covered Dave Walker's "Look Around You" for his 1976 album "Midnight In San Juan" - and a cracking song it is too :) I'm not sure if Dave ever recorded the song, but I think it dated from the time when they were in Hungry Fighter together, about 1974.
