LOS ANGELES - Sheryl Crow says she'll soon be singing with Fleetwood Mac, a move sure to give new life to the classic rock band, which hasn't toured in several years.


"I don't want to make any official announcements, but I will say that we definitely have plans for collaborating in the future, and we'll see what happens," Crow told the AOL music Web site Spinner.com in a story posted Thursday.

The 46-year-old singer didn't give a date, but said it could happen next year.

She's already thinking about what she'd like to perform. "I'd love to do `The Chain,' I'd love to do `Second Hand News,'" Crow said.

Crow said she looked forward to working with friend Stevie Nicks.

"I think the person I learned the most hands-on from is Stevie Nicks because she allowed me not only to co-write with her but also to produce her, and she's a true artist," she said.

Crow would give the band and Nicks a boost. According to Spinner.com, Nicks had said she wouldn't continue with Fleetwood Mac without keyboardist Christine McVie, who retired from touring in 1998. McVie joined Fleetwood Mac in 1970 shortly after marrying the band's bass guitarist, John McVie.

Fleetwood Mac last toured in 2004.

Crow is currently touring after the release of her latest album, "Detours."

Phone and e-mail messages left with representatives for Fleetwood Mac and Crow were not immediately returned.

I think she'll do a great job replacing McVie. I seen Fleetwood Mac in concert back in 1997, here in Nashville, and they were awesome. Stevie Nicks is a beautiful woman, I fell in love with her back in the 70's.

Why does this have a thumbs down? Sheryl and Fleetwood are both great!!! She and Stevie Nicks harmonize very well together, they've already done several tracks together.

It had a thumbs down because the idea doesn't thrill me. Both are indeed great as you say but this collaboration will take some getting used to. I honestly had no idea that Sheryl and Stevie had already recorded anything together so that might be interesting to hear.


Collaborations such as this very rarely impress me but there are a few exceptions among them: Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty, Stevie and Don Henley, Jack White and Loretta Lynn just to name a few. After giving this some thought, I decided that the thumbs down probably isn't fair considering the fact that I haven't yet heard anything so I'll change that to the cd icon. Sheryl and Stevie both have great voices so who knows, I might actually be impressed by this.
