Anyone who knows Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours album also knows its brilliance comes in no small part from the relationship tensions – to put it mildy – that occurred within the band during recording. The conflicts permeate every song, particularly the Lindsey Buckingham-penned “Go Your Own Way.”
While the lyrics pretty much give away how angry Buckingham was at Stevie Nicks, a recent cover by UK songstress Elsie reveals a slightly different side of the tune.
