Once again, Christine McVie, is the star of another track on the Rumours album. She was writer, composer, and lead vocalist for Oh Daddy. The song was partially about drummer and bandmate, Mick Fleetwood's pending divorce with wife Jenny, but also a little about the lighting engineer Christine was seeing while recording Rumours. Producer, Ken Caillat, wanted to explore more of the erie, suspicious, dark sounds they used for Dreams earlier in their recording session. Everything depended on Christine's organ, with the spinning Leslie speaker set on slow rotate, turning only a few times a minute.
Once again, there's an interesting "mistake" intentionally left in the final edit of the song. Why? We have different opinions as to why. After listening, let us know your opinion.
Most of the research for this episode was done by reading Ken Caillat and Steven Stiefel's book, Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.
