DETROIT (Billboard) -
Sheryl Crow's recent claim that she
would be working with Fleetwood Mac
Crow, 46, who's friendly with Mac's Stevie Nicks, told the
AOL music website Spinner earlier this month that she and
the band "definitely have plans for collaborating in the
future, and we'll see what happens."
"I think we were all a little surprised (Crow) was
announcing that to the world with such certainty," Fleetwood
Mac principal Lindsey Buckingham, 58, told Billboard with a
laugh.
"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."
Nicks, 59, has been the group's sole female member since
Christine McVie, now 64, retired from the band in the late
'90s.
Buckingham said the group, which last toured in 2004, is
considering returning to the road in the first half of 2009,
possibly with some new material. He said that he has "a ton of
new stuff" that could be used for a new Fleetwood Mac album,
its first since 2003's "Say You Will."
Recorded with members of his touring band as well as
Fleetwood Mac co-founders Mick Fleetwood, 60, and John McVie,
62, he said it "has a little more of a rock feel to it" than
his most recent effort, 2006's "Under the Skin."
"It's just another group of tunes that hopefully will
translate to stage, and hopefully we can get some more (solo)
dates this summer."
