Say You Will ()

The opening track, "What's the World Coming To", might give the impression that Say You Will aspires to follow in the footsteps of Mirage, but "Murrow Turning..." quickly rewinds the clock back to the Tusk era, when Lindsey's studio mastery dominated the Fleetwood Mac aura. Unfortunately, without Christine McVie's unifying touch, Say You Will's true colors show- it's a Stevie and a Lindsey solo album joined together by Lindsey's production and guitar techniques. I don't mean to make that sound like a bad thing- we've all imagined how unbelievable "Out of the Cradle" or "Trouble in Shangri-La" would have been if Stevie and Lindsey had worked together on them. Say You Will shows Lindsey at his absolute best as a musician and a producer, and although Stevie can muster nothing as amazing as "Rhiannon" or powerful as "Sisters of the Moon", she comes pretty close. Although the harmonies aren't as rich without Christine, Say You Will easily deserves 4 stars, and 5 if you really enjoyed Tusk.
