Then I got to thinking, Ronstadt recorded songs written by the Eagles (she worked with them early on, "Witchy Woman" is supposedly about Ronstadt), Warren Zevon, Jackson Browne and others. But she never covered any Fleetwood Mac songs, in fact aside from Lindsey appearing on her "Get Closer" album, she has never had anything to do with Fleetwood Mac. I wonder why? I wonder if Stevie and Linda ever met, they both used the same studio musicians (Waddy is all over Linda's 70's albums). Anyone know why Linda wouldn't have tackled a Mac song?

I always thought the similarities were eerie too - the eeriest one is if you have the original Greatest hits album and you look at the back of the record sleeve - Linda looks exactly like Stevie doing Sara.
