There....I said it.

Yep, chiliD actually said something nice about Stevie Nicks.

Sure, go ahead & circle the date on the calendar and throw it back in my face when I go through my anti-Stevie phases again.

The first step is admitting it.

I've come to expect a little more detailed criticism from you than that.

You said something nice about the album--not about Stevie Nicks!

That's true Chili. Which songs stood out for you? We've identified Mick on two songs (Secret Love and Annabel Lee) do you hear him elsewhere?

Which songs will you be playing at your own gigs? Which made you cry?

i'm so loving this!!!! lmaoooooooooooo!

I dunno...I think somebody spiked my Diet Coke with "chiffon juice" or something. I haven't a "critical" thing to say about her new album. I just dig it, from beginning to end. I'm not even at the point of dissecting the songs trying to figure out who played what (although, I THINK I hear Mick on drums in "Soldier's Angel"...if that'd have a prominent John McVie bass line, it pretty much would be a Fleetwood Mac tune; Lindsey's harmonies are the best I've heard him sing with Stevie since before Ronald Reagan became POTUS). Sorry to disappoint.


Stevie's voice sounds GREAT throughout the album (THERE, I said something nice about Stevie herself)....kudos to Dave Stewart & his production "un-goat-ing" her voice...now why couldn't the plethora of other producers she's had since '85 do that? Hmmmm? Lindsey? What do you have to say about that????

After hearing this album..I hope to hell that the rest of Fleetwood Mac decides to have Dave produce their next (their final?) album.

Jeez, like the Prince song "Damned If I Do; Damned If I Don't". I feel like I'm getting as much flak for being all giddy about this album as if I'd come on here and flamed it. I just don't get you people anymore. I would've thought you'd all be cheering "YAY! ChiliD finally came back from the Darkside!!" But, no...I STILL get the Third Degree.

To respond to Michele's interrogation:

None of the musical situations I'm in at the present time would lend themselves to covering a Stevie song (maybe a Peter Green era FMac song would be about as close as it would get).

Oh, hell...are you Barbara Walters-ing me into admitting to crying over a song??? Well, ok...I didn't "cry" per se...but I did get a little "watery-eyed" in a few spots, but I don't remember exactly which songs..."Italian Summer" may have triggered some slight "waterworks"...but then I get weepy over the Allman Bros Band's Live At The Fillmore version of "Whipping Post", too...so, it means nothing.

^^^ Nooooo, I think it's nice what you said. I like it when people are honest, even if it means saying something unexpected. I love open-mindedness.

Thank you for all of your comments. I enjoyed reading them. You're a musician, so people are interested in what you have to say in all of this. I also hope Stewart considers working with Fleetwood Mac. They've been a Brit short the last few years-- maybe that's what they've needed more than another woman. And they would be getting someone that likes to work with Stevie, and she doesn't seem to flinch so much at his suggestions. It's a win-win.

Yeah, I didn't think so. I was just goading you. Although your audience might want to hear Cheaper Than Free.

Well, actually, I subbed for the guitarist in a friend's band a few weeks ago (they have a female singer), we DID "Rhiannon" and rehearsed "Gold Dust Woman", "Landslide" & "Edge Of 17", but at the last second at the gig, she chickened out of doing ANY of the latter 3. Ended up doing a kicka$$ version of Joan Osborne's "One Of Us" instead. I'm sure that if they hear the new album, there might be a couple of tunes off of In Your Dreams they could do (namely "Wide Sargasso Sea" & "Ghosts Are Gone" would fit the rest of their repetoire like a glove).

Wasn't this her friend Glenn??
