While I'm hugely enamored with most all of Stevie's FM songs, I'm of the mind that Lindsey hasn't done anything
that special with her songs -- on a consistent basis -- since 'Rumours.' We have brilliant pieces like "Sara" and "Gypsy," but then we also have unimaginative production on songs like "Angel," "Straight Back," "That's Alright," and quite a few others. Great songs in their own right, but nothing that outstanding in their production.
I imagine that, if she herself felt Lindsey's production was still essential to bringing her songs to life, she'd put up with whatever tension and headaches come from working together.
