There’s an interesting trend developing where Boston musicians leave town and then cover Fleetwood Mac in their new cities. A few weeks ago, folk singer-songwriter Caleb Groh unveiled his take on “Little Lies” from his new camp in Nashville, and now the Los Angeles-based Lindsey Starr, the former Chemical Smile leader, Daily Pravda bassist, and solo artist has offered up a sun-shining synth-pop rendition of the Mac’s late-’80’s track “Everywhere”.
Fleetwood Mac is my all time favorite band,” Starr tells us. “I grew up listening to them and idolized Stevie and Christine, and we wanted to make an LCD Soundsystem-esque version of the song”.
Starr’s take isn’t too far removed from the Fleetwood Mac version, which appeared on 1987 album Tango In The Night, serving as the fourth single on what would be the British pop group’s second-best selling record behind only Rumours.
Interestingly enough, “Little Lies” was the third single off Tango In The Night, so maybe we have an ex-Bostonian tribute album in the works. Stake your claim to “Big Love” and listen to Starr’s “Everywhere” below.
