Hi.

Would anyone like to share this song? I not longer have it in my collection.

Thank you.

Let me look, Curtis. I had the cd way back when. Hopefully, I downloaded it to one of my hard drives. Since, I'll soon be downloading the NEW BOX SET ***-1974 to my IPOD (yes I still have one), I'll look for it.

From what I've seen, sadly the box set isn't downloadable (well not in the UK at any rate).

Not here either. I have a USB attachment in the center console; thus, I'll download the cd to IPOD. When I'm listening to blue tooth streaming, I'll pop the IPOD on.

I'd love a lossless copy of this song if anyone is able to share one.

It's a nice blues jam, but sure doesn't sound like modern FM. It's too repetitive, IMO.

It’s also too LA-slick. Christine sounds good but would sound a lot better if the production and arrangement weren’t so glossy. If you can’t let your scars show while singing the blues, then why bother.

To be fair, it was 1988 and they were in LA.

As a blues fan, I love Chess Records but really don’t like Alligator Records, another Chicago blues label, for kind of that same reason. Chess had short, charming songs (including the original Etta James version of Roll With Me Henry (https://youtu.be/pejfmfRWBWs)).

It's amazing when you take her into another element just how much she can do as a keyboardist.

Cool jam.
Hate to go off topic but the photo from this line up 1990 always drove me nuts. Does it not look like Chris has Micky Mouse ears on. I used to think it was the wall but her head is in front of the wall. Is this a black bow in her hair? Strange

On another note, I was reading a recent criticism of BTM and how Fleetwood Mac in 1990 gave way too much album space to Billy and Rick almost taking up half an album. I think the band wanted to showcase their new members as almost a Lindsey replacement. But what would it have been like if only Chris and Stevie did vocals for the entire album. Interesting to think about.

McNicks! I dig it.

Haven't we already established Nick's best contributions to BTM were background vocals. I say let Chris have the entire album. :)

BTW,
Chris's vocals on When It Comes to Love brought the song to an entire new level. Here is Billy singing it on the demo/outake.

Wow, you're right. I missed the cool sounding guitar solo, too. Loved the harmonies and organ placement. (haven't heard this version before).

Her voice merges with Billy so well that maybe you forgot. She does more than just harmonize with Billy. She sings many lines throughout the song to make it a duet.

You know Chris's voice with Lindsey is merged very well too. It was many years after GYOW was released that I realized Lindsey sang the first verse.

Do you mean, DON"T STOP?

Ha ha yes :lol:

Sorry. I had GYOW on the brain

Haha, and you caused my brain to cramp up. I was thinking, "Am I wrong about this??"

I like GYOW the way that it is. But this conversation made me think of the possibility of making it a break up duet. Chris and Lindsey's voice merge so well together on Dont Stop, Think About Me, Hold Me and World Turning. Imagine if Chris took the second verse and the shacking up line ;)
Interesting thought. Although it would have made $tevie mental. She barely could handle Chris and Lindsey on World Turning :lol:

And BuckVie would be too far gone to turn around.

This was great!

Nice sounding recording....

HOWEVER, RWMH is in second place as her worst song, right behind Ricky.

And the fukcing chorus is the same line, over and over and over and over. That has always bugged me(in any song, regardless of the artist).

I hadn't heard RWMH before. I wonder if at that moment they were thinking to take the band to a different direction, as the FM from mid 70s took apart from the late 60s sound. Anyway I just found it a funny song, and would enjoy it again if I listened it one more time. But Ricky, oh no I can't stand that song.

There have been Roll With Me Henry posts here before, over the years.

They did RWMH as part of a multi-artist charity album called Rock, Rhythm, & Blues. Give Christine a chance to sing Etta James and she’s in.

Thanks for the info! I actually didn't know about it. There is no much info about the history of this album in the web, but I did find the track listing. Though I liked DeBarge, it is weird to see Christine McVie and El DeBarge in the same list.

I actually have the Rock Rhythm and Blues CD somewhere in storage.
