I didn't hear Tusk until about 3 or so years ago, which would be a totally different frame of reference than in 1979 (when I was 3 LOL). I remember being scared to death to even buy the album as I read horrible things about it online so I stuck with getting Mirage/Tango first (Me being an 80's music lover), then went to Rumours/White Album next. I remember listening to Tusk with this look on my face. LOL! It's like it was with Time Bomb Town. I HATED that song when I first heard in on my BTTF LP back in 1985, now...one of my fave songs. Same with Tusk, I went "OMG, weird." back in 2001 and now, Tusk is just another fave album of mine.

I have to say that Stevie was in her prime on Tusk, every song is pretty much perfection and Beautiful Child is my fave song. That said, it was Lindsey's hard-headedness that led to this album. His forceful nature saying "We are NOT doing a Rumours, Part Deux!" He made sure at least his songs were nothing like the soft breeziness of the mid to late 70's.
