LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM SOLOS
Ken Tucker, Inquirer Popular-Music Critic
Lindsey Buckingham , once and future member of Fleetwood Mac, has called his new solo album Go Insane (Elektra * * * * ), but it's a devilishly sane affair. Buckingham's mastery of the recording studio enables him to summon up the whole history of rock-and-roll, as he plays all the instruments and supplies all the odd sound effects. Buckingham is at his best when he combines his eccentric sounds in the service of wooing a woman or lamenting a lost love, but even his quiet tribute to the late Beach Boy Dennis Wilson, "D.W. Suite," is a remarkably controlled, unpretentious composition.
