New Lindsey Buckingham Album

There is probably 10-12 songs that he feels would work for a solo album. Some tracks could feature Mick, John and Chris. He could even do a little tour.

I was hoping this was gonna happen in 2016. That he would separate out some of the wealth of songs he has for that fm album and release them as a solo album. When it didn't happen I was hoping against all reason that Stevie was actually adding her songs to a Mac album. Now we know nothing has changed and the situation with Stevie and new Mac album is still the same as it has been the last few years. And Lindsey has wasted this whole year (other than trying some acting) as far as his music output goes.

sure, but he's got a family to re-engage with and kids and etc. so I'm sympathetic to him not putting out music or doing stuff that will take him away from family (we don't know that this is his motivation, but could well be) for long periods, especially if they are indeed gearing up for the farewell tour to come where they're consistently saying they'll be on the road for two year at least.

Sure if he was touring but for putting out new solo album he basically works from home. Wasn't he a part time stay at home dad for some of the time, while working on new music from home? So that would not take him away from the family. And work on fm album would be in la. While I certainly understand the need for family life, somehow I don't think that's what's preventing him from working on solo or fm album. Tours would be a whole another story, of course.

Exactly! The point was he should release some of the music he has recorded over the last several years that may not make the Fleetwood Mac album. Having songs from Christine in the mix cuts down on his tracks. Unless the plan is (was) to release a double.

well, holed up in the basement studio makes it kinda hard to do the taxiing to dance class and soccer games and all that babysitting stuff.
