The other talented Rock group Fleetwood Mac have released their CD entitled Bare Trees. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Fleetwood Mac fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Bare Trees their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.

one that will grab your attention right out of the gate has Child Of Mine and allow to go until the last note of the last song Thoughts On a Grey Day, which is another great track by the system.

The day This is a very rare CD where every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is definitely one of those rare CDs.

The total bare tree is outstanding from beginning to end. One of the CD after listening to some songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for Rock fans. Really spectacular from beginning to end.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 1 – Child Of Mine, track 3 – Homeward Bound, and track 8 – to forgive Me A Little Of Your Love

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [... as in "proud On Repeat"] is track 10 – Thoughts On A Grey Day. This is a great track!

Fleetwood Mac – “Hypnotised (Hypnotic re-edit)” « DJ Cold Duck

A sometimes successful, sometimes rather rough, remix of the ancient Fleetwood Mac tune (that is, 1973, from a brief period after Peter Green but before Stevie Nicks). Here I sped up the original, fattened the bottom, and then worked in ...

Dave Walker Band's new CD 'refreshing'

Posted: Friday, September 17, 2010 12:00 am | Updated: 2:11 pm, Thu Sep 16, 2010. RACHEL HERGETT, Chronicle Staff Writer | 0 comments

Dave Walker may be a legend in his own right, but in "Crazy All The Time" he allows the rest of the Dave Walker Band a chance to shine.

Many of the songs on the album released July 17, are slower, losing the hard-driving edge of Walkers previous work with Savoy Brown and Fleetwood Mac.

"Talk of the Town," for example, delves into psychedelic rock, with an expanded intro and licks reminiscent of Pink Floyd. Then the track shifts and Walker himself is suddenly Jim Morrison, fronting The Doors through the drug-addled ‘70s.

It's refreshing.

Still, the Dave Walker Band is probably at it's best in the full-on blues tune "Mr. Shame Shame," showcasing both Chris Cundy's abilities on the keys and the reason Walker is known as "the voice" - his vocals perfecting the rawness expected of the genre.

"Crazy All The Time" is one of those albums that keeps you listening, that grabs your attention and holds it because of its variety but with just enough common musicality to remain congruent.

The Bozeman-based Dave Walker Band is Jim Lewis on guitar, Eddie T. on bass and Mike Gillan on drums, along with Cundy and Walker.

Review of the Fleetwood Mac CD Heroes Are Hard To Find
Fleetwood Mac released their most recent CD entitled Heroes Are Hard To Find.

Fleetwood Mac have been a heavy hitters in the Rock genre for quite a while now and Heroes Are Hard To Find is an excellent illustration as to why.

Heroes Are Hard To Find is a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

Listen to Heroes Are Hard To Find and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD.

While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 – Coming Home, track 9 – Prove Your Love, and track 11 – Safe Horbour.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Heroes Are Hard To Find. Outstanding!

Heroes Are Hard To Find Release Notes:

Fleetwood Mac originally released Heroes Are Hard To Find on October 25, 1990 on the Reprise label.

CD Track List Follows:

1. Heroes Are Hard To Find 2. Coming Home 3. Angel 4. Bermuda Triangle 5. Come A Little Bit Closer 6. She’s Changing Me 7. Bad Loser 8. Silver Heels 9. Prove Your Love 10. Born Enchanter 11. Safe Horbour

Fleetwood Mac: Bob Welch (vocals, guitar, vibraphone); Christine McVie (vocals, keyboards, Arp string synthesizer); John McVie (bass); Mick Fleetwood (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Pete Kleinow (pedal steel guitar). Recorded at Angel City Sound, Los Angeles, California in July 1974.

UK versus USA: Reasons Why America Doesn’t Make Music As Good As We Do

The UK version of Fleetwood Mac had it all. It had the best guitar players and the biggest drug-****ery. The US version pretty much survived their bouts with cocaine, reuniting every-so-often to play AOR for men and women in slacks. The UK version of Fleetwood Mac pretty much disintegrated in a cloud of weed smoke and melted their brains with super potent acid dished out by weird German cults. The tunes were better too.

Review: Sandi Thom, The Globe, Cardiff
Sep 23 2010 by Our Correspondent, South Wales Echo

SANDI Thom, the singer-songwriter who achieved fame in 2006 after performing live over the web from her London basement flat, provided the new noise insulation at the Globe with as demanding a test as it will receive.

Thom may have made her name with I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair), but her first two albums were largely acoustic affairs.

Since leaving Sony and setting up her own label, the Scot has abandoned commercialism and immersed herself in the Blues.

Her 15-song set was largely made up of tracks from her new LP, Merchants and Thieves, embellished by Animals and Fleetwood Mac covers and a heavier version of Punk Rocker, but if the quality of the songs was high, so was the volume.

At times it was like sitting in a car with the loud button pressed and the bass turned to maximum.

The floor upstairs vibrated and ears popped.

Thom only went acoustic for one song, the first encore, Fleetwood Mac’s Need Your Love So Bad. Too Bad.

Thom was part of a six-piece band, two guitars, bass, drums and keyboards supplemented by a tambourine-waving support singer.

The keyboards were drowned out and the vocals were too often beaten by the drums.

It was certainly a departure from her first two albums – Smile… It Confuses People, and The Pink & the Lily, following the trail taken by Chris Rea, though he made a dozen mainstream LPs before picking up his Blues guitar.

The evening compared somewhat unfavourably to bluesman Rea’s concert in Cardiff’s St David’s Hall, a couple of years ago, when the sound levels were spot on and the vocals did not compete with instruments.

Anyone wanting to hear the real Thom should listen to Maggie McCall on Merchants and Thieves.

It’s Americana with a hint of Scotland.

Trev Wilkinson talks about V100 Icon Lemon Drop guitar on Songnetworks website:

http://www.songnetworks.org/vintage-...ectric-guitar/

Still got the blues? Trev’s V100 “Lemon Drop” is a real tribute. “When I was young and in a band, we supported the original Fleetwood Mac to play at a gig we’d organised. Fleetwood Mac let us use their PA, and Peter Green even let me use his amp! He wouldn’t let me use his guitar but he was always my favourite guitarist….”

Review of the Fleetwood Mac CD Mystery To Me

Not sure what鈥檚 happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Mystery To Me gets. Mystery To Me simply stated is one of their best CDs to date.

Fleetwood Mac have been a heavy hitters in the Rock genre for quite some time now and Mystery To Me is an excellent illustration as to why.

Mystery To Me has a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. Theyare all here.

Overall Mystery To Me is an outstanding release. What I call must have music
I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Rock collection. Truly an outstanding Rock CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 – Just Crazy Love, track 6 – Keep On Going, and track 12 – Why

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Emerald Eyes. Great track!

...In between dosages of Grateful Dead, I supercharged with some early Fleetwood Mac. In their late 60s and early 70s incarnations, the Dead and the Mac seem to complement each other nicely. It's not that they sound alike. Nobody sounds like the Grateful Dead. I hate it when people find out that I'm a head and assume that I'll also like New Riders of the Purple Sage, or Quicksilver, or Hot Tuna, or Little Feat. I don't like any of that stuff. I don't like 'jam bands' per se. I like bands with great songs, and if they happen to throw some good jamming into the mix then that's great, but the jamming itself is almost never what draws me in to, say, the Allman Brothers or Jefferson Airplane.

I don't really get Phish. They sound like muzak to me - stoner muzak for college kids. It's not my thing at all.

The Dead are a completely distinct animal, though there are records you can play alongside live Dead music that go really well. Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac would be in this category for me, and maybe even two or three albums after Peter Green left the band. Then Play On, Fleetwood Mac's masterpiece from 1970, might just be the greatest guitar album ever made, though not in an ostentatious way. The playing is in fact quite understated when it needs to be. Their approach to music is similar in my mind to Richard Thompson. He is a phenomenal guitar player, but he doesn't feel like he has to beat you ever the head with it.

Sometimes it's what isn't played or what's left to the listener's imagination that counts just as much as what what is played. Don't mistake what I'm saying. There's furiously slashing interplay between Peter Green and Danny Kirwan throughout the Then Play On, but it's never showy, always just exactly right in setting the proper mood and vibe. I'm fascinated by Fleetwood Mac and want to say more about them
at some point when I get my **** together...
