It wasn’t the first time “Sentimental Lady” was released as a single. Five years earlier, Fleetwood Mac recorded a version of the song for their album Bare Trees. At the time, Welch was a guitarist and vocalist for the group, which included Fleetwood and John and Christine McVie. The 1972 Fleetwood Mac version of “Sentimental Lady” didn’t chart, likely because Fleetwood Mac had been known as more of an album-oriented rock band at the time and didn’t get much radio play, according to American Songwriter. Welch ultimately left the band in 1974 and was replaced by Stevie Nicksand Buckingham.
Paste magazine ranked Welch’s solo version of “Sentimental Lady” as one of the greatest yacht rock songs of all time, describing his 1977 “do-over” as “so much better” than the original. “His tenure as the frontman of the Mac was short-lived, but I’d like to think this version of ‘Sentimental Lady’ is as good a look as any into what their trajectory might have become had he stuck around,” the outlet noted.
‘Sentimental Lady’ became Welch’s signature song
He added that with amid his solo success with “Sentimental Lady” and the follow-up hit “Ebony Eyes,” he never felt as though he missed out on what could have been with Fleetwood Mac. “In the sense that I contributed something to the sound of the group, I felt very proud that they were making it,” he said. “I didn't feel like I was missing the boat, because it's really a different group with Nicks and Buckingham.”
