I was wondering the same thing. I guess her record company is fronting the bill?

Do you feel this way because Richard stayed closer with Lindsey & the band longer? Or because the band was apparently turned off by Ken writing his book?

Although you've discussed what you admired in Colbie's album, I don't think that FM had the same qualms with the sound and engineering quality of their most recent recordings. They should have had those concerns, maybe, but I don't think they do.

I think they see themselves needing more production help when it comes to the creative and arrangement parts of recording and I think that if they pull someone in from the outside to either work on Stevie's songs or to work with Lindsey on all of the songs, it would be someone whose skills, input and ideas are more creative than technical.

or both.

plus, sounded awfully like Ken worked hard on burning his bridges when promoting his book, if he even had anything to burn at that point. of course, adults can mend the bridges and have strictly business relationships. FM people don't seem like that kind of adults.

I don't know if it would be a good idea for Richard to work with FM again. He probably would be willing to because the money would be great, but Ken said that Richard was pretty ticked off at Lindsey and the rest of FM.

Ken said Richard sold or gave away all his FM awards and memorabilia (which I would have loved to have gotten from him) because he was so mad Lindsey and the group had stopped working with him or even contacting him.

So even though he's talented and could do a great job it may not be a good idea to have him there while the group is "mending bridges"

Who cares? Really? Mick said they'd be back and, go figure, they were spotted. What else do you really need?

Honestly....Nothing.

But Richard went to two of Lindsey's shows in Vegas in 2006, back to back, that was long after the band stopped working with him. At that point, it didn't seem like he was too steamed with Lindsey.

Agreed. Grudges are for suckers. Richard and Ken would both work with the band again, if asked. Business is business.

I do hope they record at a real studio.

Well I do think Richard would be stupid to not try and stay on the band's good side because he knows he could make a lot of money working with them again. But this is what Ken said in a 2012 interview:


"Members of the crew still talk to each other. It’s almost like we’re the survivors of the Titanic or something. It’s the weirdest thing. I may sound wacko, but living through something like that and being a part of a thing, you feel like you’re family, and you’re not a family."

"They’re all so self centered and egotistical that they don’t think about anyone. Richard Dashut, the sound engineer, is a miserable guy. He was in an auto accident. He told me that he gave everything away … Grammys, gold records, everything. He said, “You know, for years they cried on my shoulder, and every one of them would talk to me. I was their shrink. Now, Lindsey Buckingham has three kids, and he hasn’t called me once to tell me about them.”

"....Richard said that they’ve pretty much abandoned him. He would work for Lindsey three years straight without getting a check. He just took advantage of him. So, Richard, being a pretty sensitive guy, just sold and gave away every piece of Fleetwood Mac memorabilia he had."

If Richard was at 2 of Lindsey's shows in 2006 then I would think he would have talk directly to Lindsey, so Ken could be referencing an old conversation he had with Richard prior to 2006.

Yeah, Lindsey announced them from the stage. Richard and Steve too.

Actually Richard isn't in very good health. He was in a car accident (?) I think. I'm thankful he's still alive but I don't think he's up for producing anything. He seems to be hanging in there. God bless him. FM was lucky to have him.

He just finished up producing an album by a Canadian songwriter named Kalsey. Working might be better for him instead of doing nothing.

??? And this?

from tweets, seems FM might be using these guys for mastering http://aftermasterhd.com/
