Hey Chris Fans,

I was listening to a jazz station yesterday and what comes on? "Warm Ways." It was great to hear, and the dj followed it up with a remark, somethng like "That was a classic. Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac."

Just thought you'd enjoy this tidbit.

Wow! I don't think I've ever heard "Warm Ways" on the radio & on a jazz station yet.:cool: I think it's a beautiful song, very underrated. It has kind of an "island" sort of feel.

Thats the exact feel I get from it too. I think Warm Ways into Blue Letter is such a great transition on that album.

I heard it on KLOS out here when I was 18 or so and ever since i heard it on the radio followed by Jim Ladd giving it a rave review I had an appreciation for it ever since....

It's a beautiful song, I played it driving from NJ to Washington DC with my
cousins, it was my first trip to the States in 15 years, I was 22...

yes, it's a classic. But... on a jazz station??? Does WW sound jazz?

LOVE that song!
It has always been one of my faves of Christine's work.
It has such a wonderful "feel" to it.... something I love about all of her work. :wavey:

I don't think "Warm Ways" sounds anything like a jazz song. Now, "Brown Eyes"....that's a jazz song.

it certainly is a classic! that's so fun that you heard it on the radio. personally, i love 'warm ways'. . .it's such a soothing song. it makes me want to have a glass of wine and watch the world go by out the window.

last week i heard 'hold me' in our office building. we've recently had a few ahem, 'surgical offices' (of the plastic type) move in on the lobby floor, so i guess they're now trying to soothe the patients by using the intercom system as a radio.

So would I. I asked her about it in that Q & A. I suspect this song may have been about Dennis Wilson.

When she played it during the Mirage tour, she often referred to it as one of the "obscure" songs on Tusk. In a magazine article from around 1984, she mentioned that it was one of her favorite songs.

Warm ways is an awesome song, i wish it was a more popular song among radio stations. I actually (dont kill me) prefer it to songbird depending on what mood im in. Its just so much - dare i say it- "warmer" and gentler and its part of the reason the white album is my fav FM album tied w/ tango (for Chris' contributions)

I, for one, have no urge to harm you for preferring one Chris song to another. And although I might argue with you about Tango -- I put it pretty much in last place for all of the Mac's albums -- I do respect your right to like it. I personally like Christine's early songs the best, the ones from Mystery to Me, Bare Trees, and the other "Bob Welch era" albums. "Songbird" and "Warm Ways" are both lovely ballads by Christine and I think "Songbird" has more popularity mainly because it was the band's closing number at so many concerts.

As for hearing them on the radio, the thing with commercial radio is they have their playlists of a very limited number of songs. The prevailing thinking among commercial radio seems to be that listeners want to hear the same old stuff, over and over and over again. I personally think that's totally wrong. I am *always* interested in hearing new music.

Well thank you for hearing me out! Songbird is just more of a lonely song to me (although in todays blizzard i think songbird is more appropriate).

As far as the radio thing goes im with you, the first couple of times you here "bohemian rhapsody" on the radio its awesome and you wanna sing along with it but after the 264th time it just gets old!!
