When I was first becoming a fan, after The Greatest Hits the albums I bought were the The Dance, Rumours and the eponymous album Fleetwood Mac (1975).
I believe Rumours to be the best album ever made.
New interview with Christine and Lindsey!

This little line kind of bothered me a bit, but sounds like all is going well with them!
"Helping McVie write songs, Buckingham said to her, "is something you always wanted me to do for you, which was not necessarily the case with Stevie. She's a little more complicated in her needs."
"They will never forget you 'till somebody new comes along"
1948-2016 Gone but not forgotten
It bugged me too. I think "Collaborating with McVie on songs" and "do WITH you" would've gone over a lot better. CMV doesn't need Lindsey's help writing seeing as how she's written the vast majority of the band's hits!

In addition to the Christine statement, his statement about Stevie is fueling a mentality among some Fleetwood Mac fans that she's not engaged and is holding up the process. There are some fans furiously condemning her, although we have no hard evidence that this is the case. I for one believe that she will do her part, and we will have a terrific new Fleetwood Mac album!
Lindsey, to his credit, did describe their efforts as collaborative and only professed to "helping her write songs."
Here is the entire quote from the article as it appeared at least in the home edition of the L.A. Times:
"This was a great collaboration (to wit:"Too Far Gone") Buckingham said. "I had a track without any singing on it, and she wrote the song over it."
"We've been doing that quite a bit lately haven't we?" McVie said.
Helping McVie write songs, Buckingham said to her, "is something you always wanted me to do for you which was not necessarily the case with Stevie. She's a little more complicated in her needs."
Randy Lewis, the author of the L.A. Times article, also stated that "Lindsey leans forward and side by side, they listen to the playback of "Too Far Gone" a danceable new Fleetwood Mac song they've written together......"
Hope these facts allay your fears about Lindsey taking too much credit where none is due.

So, what is Stevie up to if not there helping out?

She's recording solo stuff with Dave Stewart in Nashville.
