I love the track.
Yes - it is a total departure for Lindsey, but I think it's great - and an important departure.
I'm just grateful that Lindsey Buckingham is still making new music with Fleetwood Mac.
Without him, the band would have either produced a few more really mediocre albums or they would have turned into an embarrassing nostalgia act - like Journey, Pat Benatar, etc.
There's a reason this band has transcended time - and that reason is Buckingham.

I'm pretty sure the piano playing is Lindsey. He's played a lot of keyboards on most of his solo albums.

I said in another post that this song reminds me of some recent Springsteen songs.
Yes, we could have easily had another guitar masterpiece track from him. But I'm glad they included this one instead. He keeps the band interesting and it makes me realize that we could very well have a full album with a lot of variety. This song and Miss Fantasy could easily fit into Tusk - and that makes me very happy.
