What If They REMADE The Buckingham Nicks Album?

They obviously couldn't exactly, or even approximately, recreate it. Okay, maybe approximately. ie, about an octive lower.
But if they nailed it, even an octive lower, and did super harmonies, you know I'd love it!
I'd need very similar bandwork, though. No extra Lindsey overproduction and layering, no Stevie backup singers (she can keep her echo mic, though), no fifty musicians.

What would the point be in trying to recreate a work that has already been done? If they were to remake the album today it should be all new interpretaitons of the songs. Look at the beauty of pairing off the new Nomad with the original. A sweet little guitar piece with a young Stevie crooning mournfully later becomes a lush, bittersweet song with a woman looking back on her life. And No Light was a great song with a young girl singing a fairytale but when the mature woman sings "I was wrong to live for a dream, if I had my life to live over I would never dream" in Planets of the Universe, it sends chills down one's spine.

Could you imagine what kind of huge rock song Crying in the Night would be with Lindsay's lifetime of guitar experience and Stevie's time strengthened vocals? I think it would be pretty cool. A waste of time, maybe, but fun nonetheless.
