Christine Perfect was the keyboardist and singer in a British blues band called Chicken Shack. The band had a minor hit in 1969 with a smoldering cover of "I'd Rather Go Blind". Their debut single, "It's Okay With Me Baby," is more interesting to McVie's evolution as a songwriter.
Jessie McVie's music captured the blissful feeling of getting carried away, even inundated, by romantic love. On this soft-rock classic, she recognizes the risks of falling for a mercurial partner but cherishes the sensation of succumbing.
The album is full of studio wizardry, particularly in the pristinely funky sound of Rumours' opening riff. She wrote the song about her new flame, the Fleetwood Mac lighting director Curry Grant.
Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" is one of the band's most enduring hits. The song is perhaps the most brilliant moment of sequencing on "Rumour". It was for everybody. It was like a little prayer almost, says singer Christine McVie.
Few Mac songs capture their musical connection better than this one. Their vocals sound simpatico on the chorus harmonies and electric piano provides a fitting complement to Buckingham's riffs.
Christine McVie's voice is an understated gem buried on the C side of "Tusk," a tender heartstring-tugger. The faintest hints of guitar and keyboards forming little more than an ethereal mist in the background are barely discernible.
Speaking of underappreciated gems, this soulful McVie tune is a highlight of the band’s 1982 album, “Mirage,” with all due respect to the bouncy, irresistibly fun “Hold Me,” which McVie co-wrote with the singer-songwriter Robbie Patton.
Scott McVie's solo album "Got a Hold on Me" is his first solo release since leaving Fleetwood Mac. It was released in 1984, when the other members of the band were focusing on their solo careers. The album sounds like it could have appeared on any Fleetwood mac album.
Twenty years later, the band reunited for the live LP "The Dance".
"Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie" is the singer-songwriter's final album. She reunited with her former bandmate for a single, "Feel About You". The doo-wop-esque track is one of the highlights of the album.
