详细介绍:
It%27s great cosmic justice that the least flamboyant member of the Nicks/Buckingham version of Fleetwood Mac is also the one who contributed many of the band%27s best songs, including Say You Love Me, Over My Head, Don%27t Stop and the divine, Songbird. Only that last tune, in greatly altered form, appears on this compilation that focuses on Christine McVie%27s two solo albums, Christine McVie (1984) and especially, In The Meantime (2004). The decision not to include anything from her first band Chicken Shack%27s two albums, her self-titled solo debut, or any of her Fleetwood Mac material outside of the title track keeps this from being a more complete picture of her singing, piano playing and often breathtaking songwriting. Licensing challenges are likely culprits for the lack of Fleetwood Mac material, but the omission of her biggest solo hit, the very Mac-esque Got a Hold on Me from her debut (which featured the talents of Lindsey Buckingham, Steve Winwood and Steve Ferrone) is mystifying. What%27s here though has been fully remixed by producer Glyn Johns (The Rolling Stones, The Beatles) who tinkered with levels and moved instruments around in the mix without changing the originals in hugely obvious ways. This collection also contains two unreleased tracks—the bouncy guitar-led Slow Down, which was originally written and recorded for the 1985 film American Flyers but went unused, and the heartbreak ballad All You Gotta Do, a duet McVie wrote and recorded with the late George Hawkins (whose bass is heard on all but one of the album%27s songs). Originally left unfinished, All You Gotta Do was completed by adding Ricky Peterson on organ and Glyn Johns%27 son, Ethan on drums and guitar. Most interesting is the orchestral version of Songbird where the brilliantly talented arranger and composer Vince Mendoza builds a lush string setting around McVie%27s original vocals from the Rumours session to give the song an even more ethereal, slightly less lonely feel than the original. The results are utterly spectacular. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
