You Make Covers Fun

Really good. She has a great voice. This cover just highlights what a great song this is. Its one of Chris's best keyboard groove. The guitar is incredible too. Putting them together is D Y N O M I T E. The song would have been a success without all the guitar licks. But Lindsey put this thick delicious icing all over the cake that takes the song to an entirely new level. His guitar is on fire. Stripping down the song with just the keyboard groove or just hearing the guitar will blow you away.

…some instrumental Warm Ways

Here’s a group doing a wonderful “Over My Head.” Dig that cool percussion on the congas in the background (to the right of the excellent drummer). Very Mick Fleetwood. |

I am puzzled why Warm Ways does not get much love. Clearly the record company thought enough of it to release it as the official first single in England. Its something I can hear on Bare Trees without the Stevie/Lindsey harmonies of course |

Seriously, the production sounds antiquated. |

Still, it’ gorgeous. |

FM was embracing a new sound, yet WW wasn't quite up to the new standard. I do agree that any Christine lullaby is gorgeous. No matter how dated...:lol::xoxo: |

Warm Ways is one of the songs on the White Album that sounds so much like Fleetwood Mac and could appear on an earlier album. Its very much like Sugar Daddy. The White Album has sounds that are Buckingham Nicks like Landslide and pre-Nicks Classic Mac sound like Warm Ways and Sugar Daddy. There are songs that have that perfect mix of both like Say You Love Me. The ending of Warm Ways is beautiful too where each instrument plays by itself before the song ends.....the acoustic guitar.....then keyboards, etc. Very rare and beautiful. Hate the game, not the player |

Unlike those songs, most of FM's Rumours-era catalogue transcends its time. WW doesn't. At the time, it was pushed as the first single, which tells me the band were trying to get on the radio following the trends of the time. They did this with the HAHTF single, too, where it was engineered to appeal--and failed. All those stock-in-trade devices that both of these songs resort to leave these otherwise lovely tunes in the museum of lost songs. Conversely, Over My Head was the last track completed for the record. Christine has said repeatedly that they didn't know how to present it so they decided on less-is-more. The song may have been retooled as a single for FM radio, but its the album version that sticks. |
