"As Long as You Follow" is a song by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Performed by Christine McVie and written alongside her then-husband, Eddy Quintela, the song was one of two new tracks on the band's 1988 greatest hits album, along with "No Questions Asked". Lead guitarist Rick Vito singled out the guitar solo on "As Long as You Follow" as his best work with Fleetwood Mac.[1]

Release

In an interview with Music Connection, McVie characterised "As Long as You Follow" as "yet another love song. It's just something which I relate to, have always related to – telling different stories about relationships."[2]

Released as a single in the United Kingdom on 28 November 1988,[3] the song reached number 66 on the UK Singles Chart late in the year.[4] In the United States, it reached number 40 on the Cashbox Top 100 and number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1989. The song also spent one week at number one on the Billboard adult contemporary chart in January 1989.[5][6]

On its release, Cash Box predicted that the "western lilt to this easy-flowing tune sits well and should result in positive reaction on CHR, AC."[7]

B-sides

A live version of the band's 1969 song "Oh Well" served as a B-side for all release formats of "As Long As You Follow". The live version of "Oh Well" was recorded at a 1987 Fleetwood Mac concert at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, California (filmed as the Tango in the Night concert video), and features lead vocals by new band member Billy Burnette. The 12-inch and CD single formats further included the original 1977 studio version of the Stevie Nicks track "Gold Dust Woman", as featured on Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album, Rumours. The single's cover sleeve is identical to its parent album, Greatest Hits.
