Allright in honor of the fact that tomorrow is monday and monday's suck here is something fun. 5 Fleetwood Mac Covers. One for each day of the working week.
To get things rolling is The Meat Purveyors with their take on Monday Morning from the Mac's self-titled LP. Monday Morning appears on The Meat Purveyors' Paint By Number
Next up is two tracks taken from Camper Van Beethoven's version of Tusk. We start with the upbeat Think About Me written by Christine McVie. After that is CVB taking on the intensity that Stevie Nicks channeled so well on Storms. Perhaps it is a bit too much intensity for one song. Perhaps.
Completing the trifecta of Mac's main songwriters as witnessed on Tusk is Lindsay Buckingham's What Makes You Think You're The One performed by the Twilight Singers. The track is taken from the band's covers album She Loves You.
Also included just for fun is the Twilight Singers version of Mary J. Blige's Real Love. Greg Duhli does pretty amazing covers of R&B songs including TLC's Creep and this summer's Crazy. I read somewhere that the Afghan Whigs were supposed to be a rock,alternative R&B band which makes a lot of sense after listening to them.
Last on this little diversion through the Fleetwood Mac machine of influence is Whiskeytown's version of the ever popular Dreams taken from a World Cafe performance and lifted off of the Mac's hugely successful Rumours album.
Enjoy.
