Fleetwood Mac Rolling Stone album review
By Bud Scoppa
September 25, 1975 Not only is Fleetwood Mac no longer blues oriented, it isn't even really British: The two newest members, Lindsey Buckingham (guitar and vocals) and Stevie Nicks (vocals, acoustic guitar) are American, and all five members are now based in Los Angeles. The band began its spiritual journey to L.A. a half-dozen albums ago – on Future Games – when it was led by the often dazzling guitarist/singer Danny Kirwan. Kirwan is long gone but his inspiration lingers in the songs and singing of Christine McVie (who's also developed into an effective keyboard player) and in the electric guitar playing of Buckingham, who likes to interpose aching, Kirwanesque leads and textured, Byrds-like rhythm lines. Thanks to their efforts, Fleetwood Mac is easily the group's best and most consistent album since Bare Trees, the last to feature Kirwan."

Great review. I love this album. I feel that Landslide fits in as well as the rest, but that's just me. I hate this tune live. She bellows it.

For what it's worth, the reviewer, Bud Scoppa, also reviewed KILN HOUSE and (I think) BARE TREES for Rolling Stone.
Edit: I just checked: he did review BARE TREES but not KILN HOUSE--at least not for Rolling Stone. He did review the latter for that recent compilation of reviews, and of course he was very favorable. He always "got" the value of Kirwan and, like me, sees KILN HOUSE as a classic. He also always likes Christine's contributions. Last edited by aleuzzi; 09-22-2016 at 08:36 PM.. |
