McVie and Fleetwood Mac achieved a virtually unparalleled level of acclaim and adoration with Rumours, but the road to success wasn’t always easy. “There weren’t that many women around back then [the 60s and early 70s]. It was a very male-oriented industry. I wasn’t in the pop industry at that time – I was playing in a blues band, so that was even more unusual.”

I have always thought that Christine is a real musical pioneer, because she was one of a very few women at the time who wrote songs, sang songs, and played an instrument, in a mixed gender band, on an equal footing with the guys in the band. It makes me happy to see Christine herself refer to this pioneering role.
