I've never heard the BN version but the White Album version is hard to beat. I can't stand Stevie's solo version. Her current voice (when she recorded it) is just too deep to pull it off.

I've just never understood why Lindsey would sing lead vocals on this one to begin with. It's such a quintessentially feminine Stevie song, it just doesn't make sense for him to sing it. Especially on the Fleetwood Mac version, when Stevie got shafted with only two songs on the whole album... SHE should have sung her own song!
Don't know if you're in the minority... but I couldn't disagree more... To me, when LB sings on her tunes magic happens... He saved When I See you Again, he makes SOTM even more special when he sings his line, and him singing this song for her was something I'm guessing she wanted.

Although I always did wonder why she got the short end of the stick on the White album. Especially because McVie/Buckingham did a tune together... In my opinion, Rhiannon, Crystal are some of her best work...

My assumption is they didn't know if she'd work out and wanted to use her sparingly. Prior to her involvement in the band, most new members were given just one, usually two songs to prove themselves. Buckingham was used a lot on the White album, even though he wrote the least amount of songs. My sense is Fleetwood and the McVies wanted a male singer in the foreground, given the band's history as a blues-rock group that toured alongside Deep Purple and Savoy Brown.

I do, too, and have not heard it in a while. I tried to buy it on I-tunes but it's not there. Is this version still available to purchase?

That's a really nice point. Hey, that may mean our John was being just a bit sneaky. When he told Stevie he wanted the song on the album, he made her think it's because he loved it so much. It could have been just because he wanted another male vocal and thought that was the best way to get it without hurting her feelings.

I don't really like Crystal at all. :( Stevie's version is probably the one I like best, if I had to choose one to listen to, but other than that, I have never been crazy about the song.
