I've been trying to track down that album; supposedly a Lindsey solo album
completed in '94, never released, available as a boot.
I think there are songs on Tango that he took whole from what ended up being
an aborted solo record and did nothing new to them-- I don't think any
members of F-Mac besides him are on "Big Love", "Tango In the Night", or
"You and I", although I may be wrong. Those "love grunts" (as David
Letterman called them at the time) that sound like a woman on "Big Love" are
obviously Lindsey, as anyone who immersed themself in Go Insane will readily
attest.

I have the same mixed feelings here. There were always some great things
Lindey did with her songs. Think of "EVerwyhere" off Tango, a classic
Christine F-Mac tune in every way, loping John McVie bass-- then at the end
Lindsey tacks on this "hearoes & Villians" coda. Rumor mill has Sheryl Crow
taking her place on the tour. But it is a tour of stadia, so I will
probably pass (but buy the DVD.)

Naturally.
