I think Dave Stewart's signature slick production style worked wonderfully for In Your Dreams, but applying that formula to Fleetwood Mac just wouldn't work. Stevie's solo career & Fleetwood Mac are entirely different animals. Everthing I've ever heard Dave produce just sounds too heavy handed for it to work with Fleetwood Mac. Not to mention I surmise egos would not allow it; I think a fresh producer would have to be brought in. I doubt Stevie would work with Mitchell Froom because Stevie would likely fear he'd be partial to Lindsey. The same goes for Dave Stewart; I doubt Lindsey would want to retread Stevie's solo values within Fleetwood Mac.
