Christine McVie - Songbird: A Solo Collection (2022) CD-Rip

Christine Anne McVie is an English musician, singer and songwriter, and the lead vocalist and keyboardist of Fleetwood Mac, which she joined in 1970. She has also released three solo albums. Her direct but poignant lyrics focus on love and relationships. AllMusic describes her as an "Unabashedly easy-on-the-ears singer/songwriter, and the prime mover behind some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits." Eight of her songs appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1988 Greatest Hits album.

In 1998, McVie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Fleetwood Mac, and received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. The same year, after almost 30 years with the band, she opted to leave and lived in semiretirement for nearly 15 years. She released a solo album in 2004. In September 2013, she appeared on stage with Fleetwood Mac at London's O2 Arena. She rejoined the band in 2014 prior to their On with the Show tour.

In 2006, McVie received a Gold Badge of Merit Award from Basca, now The Ivors Academy. In 2014, she received the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, and was honored with the Trailblazer Award at the UK Americana Awards in 2021. She is also the recipient of two Grammy Awards.

First ever compilation from rock & roll hall of famer highlights songs from her solo career, newly remastered by Glyn Johns, who worked closely with McVie on the project. The collection includes a selection of songs from two of her solo albums - 1984's 'Christine McVie' and 2004's 'In The Meantime' - plus two previously unreleased studio recordings including 'Slowdown', which was originally written for the 1985 film American Flyers. Also includes new orchestral version of Fleetwood Mac classic “Songbird”.
