A tribute to the wonderful Christine McVie. This track is a great little pop song off the Tusk album... should have been a bigger hit for them. I frigged with the arrgangment a decent amount to give a more "alt country" feel (I think a lot FM songs would tranlate very well into country rock early Wilco style!). All the electric parts (aside form one 12 string rhythm part) were done on my "new-ish" Hagstrom Impala guitar which I haven't used on a song yet. If you dont know about Hagstrom check them out, very cool guitars with lots of tonal options (brings on the twang on this track :)). I also added some mandolin and banjo on to this track for fun. All I can do on either is strummy chords but I think adds a nice element sometimes. Enjoy...

goodness gracious this is super good.

it does remind me of some of the early 70's country rock artists such as the Eagles sound.  I agree Tusk was a great album and this is an excellent song.  A fitting tribute to an amazing talent. 

I will have to hear this a few more times but I can tell it is really super good... oh wait.. I already said that... ha!
You picked a good one and you did it excellent!

I'm constantly amazed by your talent and ability to cover great songs with such quality and attention to detail. The guitars are awesome - it actually sounds like Lindsey Buckingham is playing them. Outstanding stuff and a great tribute.

Fantastic. Guitars sound great and vocals too... top notch. But the best part is the overall vibe and the way everything sit together. Those backing harmonies are cool too (could bring up a tiny notch!?) I went to see an absolutely fab Fleetwood Mac tribute act called Mack Fleetwod about a week ago here in Ireland. Dunno if the tour the UK but if they do I recommend 100%. Anyway beautiful tribute to a wonderful musician.

great! the placement of the various instruments is excellent

Excellent cover and tribute. Love the instrumentation. Terrific performance!
There are only three kinds of drummers. Those who can count, and those who can't.
