Since there's only room for me to write a few songs on each band album, I really have to use my songs. But on my own album I had room to use songs I wanted.
I cover most of the sound that we use on records with what I have. And people tell us that we still sound pretty big for a band with four instrumentalists.
The band wanted me to expand my role and have a little more freedom... I may not play very well, but I play it the way it suits the band.
The last thing I ever thought was that this band could seriously work together again.
I dont separate my work with the band from this solo project-Im sure the group could have recorded any of these, and they would have if the Fleetwood Mac project had come up at this time. I dont have any finished songs lying around.
