swannymere Posted 12 January, 2011 Share Posted 12 January, 2011 OK music lovers, a fellow poster on another forum has posted this, can anyone help? In my collection of mp3's I have one track that I can't for the life of me remember where I got it, although I must have had it for at least 6 years, and I have absolutely no idea who's performing it. I've had a few knowledgeable friends listen over the years and they have no idea either... so... It's an up-tempo version of Dreams (Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac). It's a female duet and the opening singer sounds a little like Heather Small (M People). The other singer sounds a little like Stevie Nicks but with a Toya Wilcox lisp (or should that be lithp) I am 99.9% certain it's not one of the many Deep Dish versions. Any ideas anyone? Oh, Shazam doesn't recognise it - Unidentified track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 12 January, 2011 Share Posted 12 January, 2011 1996 saw the band Whiskeytown (fronted by Ryan Adams, who - since branching out as a solo artist - has been very vocal about his appreciation of Fleetwood Mac) cover the song live and on their unreleased album A Stranger Is Born (they continued to cover it live until they disbanded in 2000).[11] Japanese pop singer Fayray has covered "Dreams" on her 2005 covers album, and Chihiro Yonekura covered it on her 2003 album Yakusoku no Basho e. Also in 1995 Letters to Cleo contributed a version of the song to the compilation album Spirit of '73: Rock for Choice. This version also appears on their album Sister. Atlanta-based indie rock group Snowden recorded a version of the song for an Internet-only EP entitled Fuel of the Celebration in 2006. Gregorian also covered the song in their 2007 album Masters of Chant Chapter VI. Gil Mantera's Party Dream cover's the song live, as well as Stevie Nick's solo hit, "Stand Back". Tori Amos covered the song live. Colin Meloy of The Decemberists adds a chorus of the song to the end of "Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect" during some solo live shows, as evidenced on his 2008 album "Colin Meloy Sings Live!". Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes covered the song live. John Mayer covers part of this song in his current Battle Studies (album) tour towards the end of his song Half of My Heart. The Morning Benders cover this song — among a variety of other songs — on their 2008 album The Bedroom Covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancake Posted 13 January, 2011 Share Posted 13 January, 2011 Deep Dish recorded a cover a few years back with Nicks on vocals, Im guessing this is an (un-authorised) remix from then, judging from the vinyl hiss at the start of the mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
