Move over Stevie: Sheryl Crow is planning to join Fleetwood Mac.
"We definitely have plans for collaborating in the future, and we'll
see what happens," Crow tells Spinner. As to when fans might hear
those collaborations, she says, "I think that's going to be next
year."
And what songs would she ideally like to perform onstage with Stevie
Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham? "I'd love to do 'The Chain' and 'Second
Hand News,'" she says. "There's so many great songs that I absolutely
love, and just to get to sing harmonies on them is going to be a
thrill."
For Crow, who is just beginning to tour in support of her recently
released 'Detours' album, the opportunity to join the legendary group
(and fill the shoes of Christine McVie, who retired from touring in
1998), is a chance to work with her close friend Nicks. Perhaps more
important, it will help keep the band alive, as Nicks had previously
gone on record as saying she was unwilling to carry on Fleetwood Mac
without McVie, who had been one of the constants of the often-
evolving group since she joined in the early '70s...
