From Ken Tucker's "5 Reasons to Live" column:
1. Lindsey Buckingham's ''Show You How''
From Under the Skin (Reprise)
The only member who, in recent years, really seemed to care about Fleetwood Mac's soul (as opposed to its tour profits), Buckingham releases his first solo album in more than a dozen years. Which means he plays every note, and there are flurries, blizzards of them — he makes acoustic-guitar and vocal overdubs into cascades of sound. On the single (remember singles?) ''Show You How,'' he's a ''madman out on a madman route,'' if I hear him correctly. And even if I don't, his distinctive madness, the passion of a man obsessed with making connections between his enthusiasms and yours, is intensely pleasurable. ''Let the past be the past,'' indeed: He's promising another, this time electric, solo album soon. Looking forward to it, but this one has a charge that'll keep you lit up for a long time.
