Everywhere
Artist: Ocean Highway
song Review by Lee Soma
A beloved song is an altar with too many fingerprints. Ocean Highway approaches Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere” with care, but not fear.
Linda Tullis carries the central responsibility. Her lead vocal preserves the warmth and openness associated with Christine McVie’s original performance while remaining unguarded enough to sound personal. She does not imitate the exact grain of McVie’s voice. She protects the song’s emotional light and allows her own tone to pass through it.
Andy Tullis—Linda’s husband, the band’s producer and guitarist—builds the surrounding space with similar discipline. His guitar work supports rather than competes, and the production understands that reverence is not the same as stiffness. The arrangement remains buoyant, leaving room for the vocal to move.
Sergio Maggi, working through the Italy arm of O.H. Studio, contributes drums and keyboards in addition to mixing and mastering. His daughter Emma adds background vocals, turning the recording into a family collaboration as well as a tribute.
That communal element changes the meaning of the cover. Ocean Highway does not attempt to replace Fleetwood Mac’s history. The band receives the song, carries it together and returns it with new human relationships audible inside the arrangement.
A faithful cover can preserve a relic. A living cover renews the ritual. Ocean Highway keeps the original flame recognizable, then lets a different circle gather around it.
