That’s maybe the most criminal aspect of the whole thing. Why get a guy with his own sound if you’re going to make him sound like the guy you just sacked? The irony being she doesn’t demand that of Waddy.

Not to mention, a huge insult to his accomplishment as an artist and player. I honestly thought he made the band explosive and had those blues chops that Rick had. Hey Eric Clapton, could you sound like Lindsey for us?

The main reason ..He (Lindsey) is not on stage with her..someone who is willing to play like Lindsey, but not be Lindsey is, perfect as far as she is concerned.
Mission accomplished.
And in the planning a long time, this wasn’t a spur of the moment thing.
