This one didn't flow as naturally as Stevie and Lindsey's work. In the end I chose Mystery to Me and Tusk. Mystery to Me found Christine on the verge of superstardom that unfortunately had to wait another two years. Too bad for us because her work on this album complements Bob Welch's stellar work so well that it almost rivals the fab 3's chemistry. Of any of her pop songs, none has the exciting build up of Believe Me and Why is such an epic listening experience.

Some find her work on Tusk boring and uninspired. I disagree and hear a Christine to that point at her very best vocally and I think song writing wise, hits a pinnacle with Over and Over and Brown Eyes. Think About Me as a pop song I think is better than even the timelessness of her Rumours work. Honey Hi has the best three part harmony that was only reached once more on Tango in the Night. Ending the album with Never Forget was great homage to her pop sensibilities and effectively grounded the wildness of Tusk.


All that said, I'm a big Christine fan and she has not once disappointed me ever as a life long Mac fan, I love all of her work. Miss her gorgeous voice terribly.
