Mix those tunes in with some of the least-threatening Lindsey stuff from "Tusk," like "Save Me a Place," "I Know I'm Not Wrong" and "That's Enough for Me" and you've got yourself a follow-up that doesn't stray too far from the “Rumours” formula - one that could be squeezed onto two sides of vinyl as opposed to four by tightening up the fade-outs on a few tunes. There's further evidence sprinkled among the many demos and alternate takes featured on an expansive new “Tusk” box set Rhino Records just released, and unreleased “Tusk”-era tracks out there in the digital ether like Nicks's "The Dealer," which she re-recorded for her 2014 solo album “24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault.” "That's Alright," a beautiful country shuffle dating back to the Buckingham-Nicks days that ended up on 1982's "Mirage" could have been folded neatly into this batch of songs.
HOLD ME FLEETWOOD MAC PRODUCER MAC
When singer-guitarist-producer Lindsey Buckingham wasn't making like a lo-fi indie rocker from the future playing in Brian Wilson's sandbox on "Tusk," Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie were singing songs that sounded like the Fleetwood Mac the world knew and loved - songs like "Sara," "Think About Me," "Over and Over," "Sisters of the Moon," "Never Forget" and "Angel." Evidence exists proving Fleetwood Mac could have followed-up "Rumours" with something similar had the spirit moved them, instead of the alienating departure of the double album called "Tusk" that they did make as the follow-up to one of the most universally appealing albums ever.
