Yeah, I don’t buy that argument. Lindsey isn’t the most technically fluid guitarist the band had, nor is he a session musician who can execute other peoples’ idioms. But that’s the point. What he knew and knows made his attack on Chris and Stevie’s songs so special. Energy, too. He possesses a musical personality and has a unique charisma. All of this he brought to the band and to Stevie’s songs.
Naturally, the core trio of Fleetwood-McVie-McVie also made a mark.
