Heroes Are Hard To Find
Ok older Ledgies:
Who bought this album around the time it was released and what did you think of it? I want to hear the State of FMac during this period from your eyes and ears. BTW I really love this album.

Heroes Are Hard To Find was the current album when I first started taking notice of the band - this would have been in the fall of '75, during my freshman year in college. My dorm roommate was a fan and he had most of their US-released records up to that point. Songs from HAHTF were on the local FM radio station - I remember "Silver Heels" in particular was getting a fair amount of airplay. Don't clearly recall which other songs were on the radio at the time, maybe "She's Changing Me"? "Prove Your Love"? "Come A Little Bit Closer"? Not really sure.
I think since that was my first exposure to the band, I've always liked this album, even though it doesn't seem to be that highly-regarded these days. Even though nothing on the album is a big highlight for me, I still find most of the songs very pleasant and there aren't any that I find unlistenable - I can't say that about some of their other albums. I can put this one on and listen all the way through it very happily. |

I LOVE Heroes Are Hard To Find. It's my second favorite album from the 1970-1974 period. It's among my top 5 albums from any period of Fleetwood Mac. I love Christine & Bob together. Unfortunately, I didn't get the album when it came out because at that time I'd never heard of Fleetwood Mac. I think I got it sometime in the early 1990's when it was first released on CD.
There's really nothing on the album that I truly dislike in any way. I like the whole atmosphere of the album, which is due to Bob Welch. Specifically, I LOVE "Come A Little Bit Closer", "Prove Your Love" & "She's Changing Me". And, "Bermuda Triangle", "Heroes Are Hard To Find", "Silver Heels" & "Bad Loser" aren't very far behind. |

I love this one too- Was one of my first Fleetwood Mac albulms, along with Bare Trees and then Mystery to me. I used to listen to all 3 all the time. Just loved it, it was mellow and it was bluesish, but it was also rockin and had that entire 70's feel to it. You know the all together in a dorm room, somewhat studying, and Getting high, listening to tunes...(well, not me personally...but I have heard of people that did that
Anyway loved the Mac then and also loved the new flavor when they added Buckingham/Nicks...although I do miss Bob Welch- Just my memories ~~eclipse~~

What's weird about this period, is that the mystique as you say is just as apparent, although differently, as the crystal visions of the B/N era... Bob and Christine have quite a unique harmonious relationship. They create a colour simliar to each of their own colours. Combined it sounds almost double tracked, yet some the chords are jazz chords, (much different than LB and SN harmony) and even had some 5/4 songs. I think Emerald Eyes is 5/4. This period can be a lot of fun for people who like to listen to astounding recordings.
