In "Play On" of 2014, Mick speaks about the credit Lindsey deserves for bringing Stevie's writings to life.

Christine and John too in some ways helped those boring demos come to life.

John's contributions to Stevie's songs cannot be underestimated (though sadly frequently are). Rhiannon, Dreams (you know it's Dreams just from that opening bass line before the song fully starts). His playing on Angel ..... it is why no other versions sound as good. I could go on.

The Brits gave her as much as Lindsey in my opinion. She needed all the help she could get with writing and arranging.

Agree. My favorite John contributions are to Sara.

Didn't Christine mainly take what Stevie recorded on demos and replicate that? Like Sara... didn't Stevie create the piano parts for that whole song?

I’ve said it before, but the Buckingham Nicks “Rhiannon” pales in comparison to the Fleetwood Mac version.
