recruitment Steven Tyler, guitarist Johnny Lang and Fleetwood Mac co-founder John McVie, and
a new foursome ZZ Top tribute album ‘Sharped Dressed Man’
has signed on the cover.Fleetwood tells Billboard he’s hoping for future work as well. “I have musical fantasies all the time,” he said in a recent interview, “but we had a lot of fun doing this, and I truly, truly do have a vision of somewhere, somehow walking on stage and actually putting something together with (the group). It’s nothing on a boiler plate right now, but it’s certainly something in my mind, and I think everybody else’s, too.”
M.O.B. is not an acronym for anything. No one had to convince Fleetwood to pay tribute to the Texas rockers.
He said, “They come from a great love of blues, and they’ve always expressed a real regard for Peter Green and the original Fleetwood Mac, which led to this long-term friendship and regard. So this was totally my pleasure to do. I was not only flattered to be asked but excited to be part of it.”
