Fleetwood Mac Not Necessarily Flying with Crow
E! Online, Mar 26, 2008 6:00 am PDTSheryl Crow may have spoken too soon when she said she would be teaming up with Fleetwood Mac in the coming months.
In a recent interview with AOL music site Spinner.com, the 46-year-old singer said that she and the classic-rock group "definitely have plans for collaborating in the future."
That was news to Fleetwood Mac, however, as frontman Lindsey Buckingham, 58, said plans to bring Crow aboard were anything but definite.
"I think we were all a little surprised [Crow] was announcing that to the world with such certainty," he told Billboard.com.
"We have talked about the possibility of bringing another woman into the scene to kind of give Stevie a sort of foil and shake it up a little bit. [Crow] was certainly a name that has come up. We'll have to see."
Stevie Nicks, 59, whom Crow has cited as an inspiration and a "true artist," has been Fleetwood Mac's sole female member since Christine McVie retired from the group in the early '90s.
Meanwhile, Buckingham said there was discussion of the group hitting the road in early 2009, possibly armed with new material.
He said he has a "ton of new stuff" that may translate to a new Fleetwood album, the band's first since 2003's Say You Will. The classic-rock staples last toured in 2004.
As for Crow, she's due out on the road in April for a trek in support of her latest album, Detours.
