Lindsey got the hint that his solo work was mostly for a niche audience in 1993 and stopped having commercial aspirations for it. I also think Lindsey and Christine understood their duet album wasn’t going to be a hit, but were doing it for the intrinsic value of creating something new with Fleetwood Mac.
I thought 24 Karat Gold was her best album since the Wild Heart. Stevie's rich. She doesn't need any more money and could record her songs without worry of commercial success. She is 75. She is not going to live forever.
