Songbird is a biography of Christine McVie. She was the keyboard player and background vocals of Fleetwood Mac. She passed away on November 30, 2022. The book shared the story behind the popular song, Dreams. Though Stevie Nicks sings most of the vocals behind that song. It was revealed that at first Christine didn’t care for the songs and thought it was boring. When Stevie played it for her it had three chords and one note all in her left hand. Lindsay came up with an idea to play the three sections out of the identical chords to make it sound differently. This became a huge hit for Fleetwood Mac. It was featured on Rumours which was filled with hits. The book was written from interviews and researched on her life and turned into this book.
I enjoyed learning about her life through interviews and it was interesting in learning more about the famous songwriter and singer. The only thing is I wish it was written from the original band member but she never released one so this is probably the closest thing we will ever have. It was still a good book and there was a lot that I didn’t know about Fleetwood Mac since they were popular years ago and I have only really heard some of their songs.
