The only difference, of course, was that Stevie's backing vocals were layered into seven of those nine tracks.
Still, most of them weren't really altered in a major way (excepting "Peacekeeper" and "Say Goodbye," of course, but then it's hard to say whether Lindsey would have altered the key and/or tempo on those before their eventual release anyway).
So I tend to think we're getting the best of both worlds... a good chunk of his songs got extra exposure by releasing them under the Fleetwood Mac name, and then another batch (and maybe some new tunes?) will hopefully be released next year to a potentially larger audience than would have greeted them before 'Say You Will.'   |
Johnny , great post, I agree. best of both worlds. I do believe timing is everything myself. I do think he would have a larger audience now, if he did release a solo in the near future. Or if he slaps them on the next FM project, at least we get them one way or another. I would love for him tho to get his due as a solo artist.
