I personally think that if Lindsey wanted credit then he'd ask for it.
He's a producer and I think he more than understands what he does is what a lot of producers do, so why should he be different when it comes to credits?

I still find Gypsy an odd example. Sure Lindsey turned an okay song into a work of genius, but the song was fully there before he got his hands on it. It had been worked and reworked during the Bella Donna sessions (didn't Tom Petty say he was never quite sure what to do with it?).

He's a great producer, and great producers are able to flesh out and give a distinctive sound to the work. It doesn't automatically entitle them to a songwriting credit.

And then of course there's Sara which everyone assumed Lindsey deserved all the credit for, until it was revealed he had nothing to do with the Cleaning Lady version of the song. The song was completed before Lindsey worked his magic on it, but I will never deny his version is superior and his production work is amazing.

As for Rhiannon, isn't Lindsey's riff simply the piano part Stevie played in the demo, played on guitar? He certainly turned it into something special but the riff was there albeit in a different form.
