But when the group's cur- - ; rent CD, "Combinations," was released last fall, a rather surprising comparison started to surface in reviews and interviews, as Fleetwood Mac became a frequent point of reference. That comparison caught singer Sherri DuPree off guard. "The funny thing is we kept hearing that after this album came out," she said in a recent phone interview. "We had actually never even had a real family affair If you go stands what others are going through.

However one describes getting into Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks and stuff like Eisley's music, "Combinations" "I think we may do some older that. We love the stuff now, represents significant musical songs, some songs our fans but it was definitely not an growth for the group which have been requesting ...
