Hadn't read this before and also hadn't really paid much attention to the 18-19 band, although it goes without saying Mike and Neil are both talented musicians, both are not a fit for Fleetwood Mac, entirely different league altogether. Stevie did come close to creativity for In Your Dreams, which did feature some good material, which was dragged down by a lack of awareness around less is more, which in 2022 makes it a drag to get through. A tightly arranged, well performed tune such as 24 K is what makes a great song and that approach would give us a great album. I agree with Steve that her truly great period was '73-83 and capped off with some amazing vocals on the Wild Heart and Mirage. After that, it wasn't until Rooms On Fire and Ooh My Love that we would see a glimpse of the Stevie of yore, but the album too, was dragged down by too many meh tracks and outright duds. Her other huge weakness is cover songs- her charm and appeal is in her own material, she is not a great interpreter of other's material. On a positive note, she is arguably the very best harmony and background singer who is still alive, in the business.
