LB Says FM: With or Without Sheryl

[John Run]

I find the not producing thing kind of laughable. Those of us who have watched this band for a while have heard that before. In 1987 Lindsey was going to let someone else produce Tango in the Night. 3 weeks into it the producer, Jason Corsaro, was headed home and Lindsey took over the reigns. Every album with this line up from Rumours on, Lindsey has been the point man on producution and the principle sonic architect. He is too much of a control freak when it comes to music. He can't let it go, even when from afar if he thinks it might be a good idea. It just won't happen. Maybe a co -produced project with someone else to provide some balance and contrast, but Lindsey as just the guitar player and vocalist, having someone else tell him how to play his parts, or doing the vocal arrangements on FM songs? Nope.
