"Jewel-Eyed Judy" is a song by Fleetwood Mac, that appeared on their 1970 album Kiln House. The song was credited to John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, and Danny Kirwan. Despite this, in Mick Fleetwood's autobiography, Play On, he claimed that Fleetwood's wife and Christine McVie wrote the lyrics together when the former was four months pregnant.[1] This is the last single released by the band featuring guitarist Jeremy Spencer. The song reached #42 in the Netherlands. The song was written about Judy Wong, a close friend of Fleetwood Mac.
The song was expected to reach the top 60 of the Billboard Hot 100,[2] but failed to enter the chart at all.
Other recordings
The live version of the track was used on the album Madison Blues, featuring Christine McVie who joined shortly after Kiln House's release. It was recorded at the Pacific National Coliseum, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
