Houston Press TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 2016 AT 7 A.M. by Bob Ruggiero
http://www.houstonpress.com/music/he...-story-8458050 To casual rock-book readers, works that compile previously written pieces on bands and musicians into one volume have strong pros and cons. They do provide a fascinating time capsule of the artists at very different points in their career, when they have no way of knowing what the future might bring but that you, the 2016 reader, do. But on the downside, each piece may also serve as a primer on the band’s history – one that gets told over and over and over again. Fortunately, the insight Fleetwood Mac on Fleetwood Mac offers outweighs its frequent repetitiveness. It's great fodder for fans of a band as legendary and with as many members (with strong personalities) as Fleetwood Mac has had over the years. Consisting of interviews, features and reviews from 1967 to 2014 (though the vast majority of pieces cover the lineup on 1977's Rumours), it’s a whirlwind tour through the Mac’s musical change and soap opera-like personal relationships. How refreshing to hear Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie discuss, say, Rumours when it is a work in progress and not a foundation of the classic rock canon. Through the years, members’ opinions of their romantic couplings and uncouplings change and develop as their lives progress. One circa-1982 article, ostensibly to promote the Mirage album and tour, becomes a rumination on the white-hot solo success of Stevie Nicks at the time, as well as what that did to the group dynamic and Buckingham's intensely competitive nature. A number of articles are also from the period of time in music journalism when writers actually got to spend days with their subjects observing and interviewing them — both on and off the record. Not surprisingly, those go far deeper than a 15-minute phoner or a staged round-robin cattle call of interviews. So the reader feels as if he or she is in the studio with the band as Christine McVie empties another bottle of Blue Nun positioned on her keyboards; or John McVie and Nicks share giggles while thumbing through a copy of Playboy; or a writer shares a joint with Buckingham (and likely more that never made it into print) after a night of partying. Of all the band members, Stevie Nicks comes off as the most free-ranging, delving into the mysticism of lace and shawls and the “Rhiannon” myth in one talk, and railing against the Shah and the Ayatollah of Iran during the hostage crisis in another. The recently departed Prince, who played keyboards on Nicks’s solo hit “Stand Back,” even gets mentioned when she remembers how he gave her the music to an early version of “Purple Rain” for a collaboration that didn’t happen. She also recalls spending a (chaste) night sleeping on the floor of his actual purple kitchen one night during a Mac tour. And the story isn't over yet. The reunited Rumours Five have been touring over the past few years, including stops in Houston in 2014 and a few months later in 2015, and a new album is on the way. Like most books of this kind, they are really aimed toward a more-than-casual fan of Fleetwood Mac. But with only Mick Fleetwood having served up two autobiographies, and the definitive history of the group yet to be written (though there have been books through the years), Fleetwood Mac on Fleetwood Mac largely lets the group members speak for themselves. Now, about those detailed diaries that Stevie Nicks has kept since 1974… |

If the collaboration never happened, I doubt Stevie would have been allowed to speak of it the way she has. Prince's "people" would have probably stopped her from telling outright lies. Why would she spin such lies anyway? She may be fanciful, but she isn't delusional. There is no reason to doubt her story. Embellishments of that story are another matter entirely.

about this story. I'm thinking maybe you do too. Why would Prince have stopped this story even if it was embellished (to say the least)? Because it just adds to his legacy? It's positive? I have nephews and nieces who believe I have a genie in a bottle. They've seen the bottle. They know where I told them I found it. How I became it's master. And have even witnessed the magic. Stevie's story might be just a little more real than mine. |

Mick Fleetwood, Kesha, other speakers added to SXSW music lineup
February 7, 2017 music news, SXSW 2017. http://music.blog.austin360.com/2017...-music-lineup/ Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood, platinum-selling rap star Kesha and former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic are among a large group of speakers announced today for this year’s South by Southwest daytime conference lineup. The announcement also included many additions to the SXSW film and interactive events: Other music additions include Cindy Wilson, a founding member of new wave pioneers the B-52’s, and Sammy Hagar, the “Red Rocker” who later became Van Halen’s lead singer. Fleetwood’s appearance is related to his upcoming book “Love That Burns: A Chronicle of Fleetwood Mac” via Genesis Publications. Kesha will team up on a panel in the conference’s “Social Impact” track with Amy Emmerich of Refinery29, a digital media company specializing in women’s lifestyles. After Nirvana, Novoselic became known for his political activism. He was SXSW’s keynote speaker in 1996, and currently is the board chair of FairVote, a nonprofit dealing with democracy issues. SXSW will continue to announce hundreds of music performers each Friday for the next few weeks. The last batch included Sara Watkins, Mark Eitzel and Bright Light Social Hour.

I bought it a couple of months ago, and have only read a few pages! It looks(reads) a LOT like the last one.

Jimmy Iovine in the liner notes to the reissue of WH supports the version that Prince came to the studio and laid some keyboard parts down as told by Stevie. In those same notes Stevie says Sandy Stewart laid down the basic tracks over which everything else was recorded.

Fleetwood Mac’s Early Days Recalled in New Book
by Best Classic Bands Staff http://bestclassicbands.com/fleetwood-mac-book-2-8-17/ Genesis Publications’ Love That Burns-A Chronicle of Fleetwood Mac Genesis Publications has announced the availability of a signed, limited-edition book by Mick Fleetwood, drummer, bandleader and founding member of Fleetwood Mac. Love That Burns—A Chronicle of Fleetwood Mac will be published this fall. The book is described in a press release as “Fleetwood’s account of the early blues era of Fleetwood Mac and the musical legacy of the uniquely talented Peter Green.” Green was one of the band’s stellar guitarists in its blues incarnation. To celebrate the announcement, Mick Fleetwood will appear at the SXSW Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas, on March 15. Speaking with Rolling Stone magazine’s David Fricke, Fleetwood “will unravel the dramatic history of a band that emerged from the British blues boom,” says the press release. The discussion will be illustrated with rare images selected from the forthcoming collaboration with Genesis Publications. Each handcrafted copy of the book—limited to 2,000 numbered copies worldwide—will be signed by the artist. In addition to the Q&A with Fricke, Genesis Publications and SXSW are offering an exclusive VIP package to a small group of early book buyers. For more information about this forthcoming edition or the SXSW event, go here. Fleetwood still likes to return to his first love, the blues, when he’s not busy with the Mac. His own Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, featuring guitarist Rick Vito (who replaced Lindsey Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac from 1987-91) recently released Live at the Belly Up, a two-hour album featuring 17 tracks. The album features Fleetwood Mac hits like “Oh Well” “Black Magic Woman” and “Albatross” as well as blues-rock standards like “Carol” and blues classics like “You Can’t Judge A Book By Its Cover” and “Shake Your Moneymaker.” That band also features Lenny Castellanos on bass. The album can be ordered here.
