Notes
Nicolette Larson’s cover of “Lotta Love” would be a top-ten hit in 1979. “I visited Neil at the ranch, we were driving around in a pickup, there was a cassette on the floor,” she recalls. “I picked it up, blew the dust off it, I stuck it in the cassette player and ‘Lotta Love’ came on. He told me he wrote it on the boat ’cause his crew had been playing Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours for three months straight. I said, ‘Neil, that’s a really good song.’ He said, ‘You want it—it’s yours.’” Nicolette Larson "Shakey" by Jimmy McDonough 2002
