I always say without Stevie, there would be no Fleetwood Mac. She has constantly promoted the band. Got their stuff on Glee and done the talk show circuit.

Now She is doing the David Grohl thing and Crossroads and god only knows what else she will pop up in to get word of mouth of Fleetwood Mac's tour out there.

Here is my fear. Remember the Taylor Swift debacle. Taylor and Stevie were both terrible, but I think Stevie had a great excuse. She came off a big tour. Her voice was flat and she was tired. I hope she doesn't sound like that with Lady Antebellum. She has to sound great. I'm sure that is why she wasn't picked by other artist for Crossroads.

Not to mention the fact, that the Dixie Chicks controversy shot up just when Landslide hit #7 on the billboard charts and then it sank like a stone. Guilty by association. She seems a little cursed when it comes to the country scene.

Country music fans respect older artists and they are loyal and spend money. She needs get more of those fans.

I hope they do That's Alright and After the Glitter Fades. I would be happy.
