He had a full three years after the 'Cradle' tour to record what would have been his fourth solo album, before he decided in the very early part of '97 to reunite with Fleetwood Mac.
Again, the paucity of material from Lindsey between his leaving the band and then eventually re-joining the band, had nothing to do with his ties to Fleetwood Mac.

Come on. Think one layer deeper. He had to cut the funicle first, just after working on TITN, which was a very hard process as we all know. He cut off what was supposed to be his third soloalbum in six years. And thanks to Christine's hitsensibility and not in the least LB's groundbreaking arrangement and productionskills put the band back on the map again. Hell broke loose and he needed time to come to his senses. I guess he got fed up with the whole business for a few years and then he began working on out of the cradle. Five years after such a mindboggling breakup isn't that long. Especially if you look at the highly perfectionistic level of OOTC.
He's never been a quick writer. In 2003 he said he was "writing like a madman". Well, we don't what he will come up with on the next one, but there are 8 new tunes on that one.
We know there's a lot more from GOS, but he wants to deconstruct, logically, because his ideas on music developped ten years: he wants to do it differently and follow his muse. SYW
ofcourse delayed this.
