You're right.  Nothing can match the derivative drivel that Fleetwood Mac was singing at this point in the band's history.  ("That's, like, just your opinion, man."  Well, of course it is.)

Mr. Kottke infuses a sitar, bongos/congas, and (could it be true?) Christine McVie's background vocals to salvage it from utter banality.

Kottke's a brilliant guitarist. But really ... what's the point of this? Just because you can? C'mon. Nothing matches 'Mac's original.

I think one of the acid tests for the question,"Is he any good as a guitarist?" is "Is he covered by Leo Kottke?" Kottke invariably chooses the most difficult—and sometimes deceptively so—guitar parts to cover. So, if Leo copped you, you're probably pretty good. Now, try to tell that to Lindsey Buckingham. {#Lol}

There's nothing wrong with this, but I think Fleetwood Mac's version is far superior. Their rhythm section kicks it into a higher gear.

Bill sez this was a Lindsay Buckingham tune; agreed he/they did a version, but wasn't it done/written by one of the original Macs, say Peter Green?

 

Peter Green wrote a song called "World Keeps Turning" when he was with Fleetwood Mac.  It's a totally different song - more of a straight blues number.

I love Leo and his 10 string, but still prefer Fleetwood Mac original.  Buckingham and McVie wrote this song, but I had it in my mind that it went back to Peter Green and Danny Kirwan days.

The original is absolutely awesome...  but I really like Kottke's cover...  he doesn't try to do a copy of the original; he does his own version, which makes the cover sound very different and unique...  I really like the sound...

now, I have the original on the vinyl album, Fleetwood Mac, from 1975...

Yeah, I think it was on one of his early albums, but I didn't know it was a self-quote. I saw him about 10 years ago...amazing.
