Christine does everything right on the album. Love all her songs on it. And the studio version of Rhiannon is perfect.

The vocal harmonies on Crystal are all three of them right? I can hear a little bit of all of their voices in that song.
I love Over My Head, Say You Love Me, and Warm Ways, just not Sugar Daddy.

2) Stevie's backing vocals would have improved Warm Ways, Over My Head, and World Turning IMO. Again I prefer the live/demo versions.
3) Rhiannon is too short!
Basically I guess I think the album needed more Stevie!  On the other hand I prefer the studio versions of Monday Morning and Blue Letter, because of the vocal arrangements, they sounded more similar to the Buckingham Nicks tour than how they played live in Fleetwood Mac. |
I like Warm Ways with just Christine singing. You can hear Lindsey and Stevie doing some ooooooohs in the background during the chorus, they don't need to be on harmony for that song.
Stevie and Lindsey sing backup on Over My Head don't they?
I agree that Stevie could be in World Turning as well.
I would have cut Sugar Daddy and added another Stevie song. She only got two songs on this album and Rumours (which I will be doing another thread like this for).
