His feelings about Olsen's production on the White Album have been mentioned before. Personally, I love the White Album production--it seems more like the songs were done live--but there's no question the band's attitude is definitely more confident on Rumours.

I'm wondering what in the italicized phrase about Christine you took issue with: the fact that her voice is "saturated with feeling" or that her song lyrics can be "dumb"?
It's true tho, she can make a dumb line sound amazing. Stevie can too sometimes..

Agreed on both accounts. "You made me a woman tonight." Yikes.

I think the most poetic lyricist the band ever had was Welch. And some of Stevie's early songs with the band have great lyrics.

I'm not familiar enough with Welch's lyrics to know, but I think my favorite lyricist from that group was Peter Green.

I'd cite a few favorite lyrics, but I can't find the lyrics section on this website. In fact, I can't find anything I'm looking for on this website. Bummer.

I know! I just looked myself for the lyrics archive and couldn't find it. Weird.

When Green's lyrics were good they were really good: Oh Well, Man of the World, Rattlesnake Shake (for it's earthy with).

I usually go to fmlegacy and look at the lyrics there. The lyrics on this site need an overhaul, which is not affordable at this time.

"Caught it" rather than "passed it"? That gives rise to new interpretations.

I always like to think of Christine and her beau having a lovely evening sitting by the fire playing with modelling clay when I hear that.
