On 5 September 2011, Eagle Rock Entertainment is delighted to release “Seeds We Sow” [Cat No EAGCD448], the new studio album from Lindsey Buckingham, his first since “Gift Of Screws” in 2008. “Seeds We Sow” is an excellent, new collection from the revered producer, songwriter, singer and guitarist of Fleetwood Mac. This album release will be followed by release of a new live concert DVD & Blu-ray in October, featuring tracks from the new album plus classic solo and Fleetwood Mac tracks from across Lindsey Buckingham’s incredible career.
The album is a showcase for his distinctive guitar picking style and instantly recognizable voice. The songs cover a broad spectrum from the simple guitar and vocals of the opening title track through the rockier style of “That’s The Way Love Goes” to the more complex arrangement and harmonies of “When She Comes Down”. As on previous solo albums, there is also a cover of a little known Rolling Stones track “She Smiled Sweetly”, which first appeared on the Stones’ 1967 album “Between The Buttons”. Lindsey Buckingham recorded “Seeds We Sow” in his home studio in Los Angeles and played the majority of the instruments himself, as well as mixing and producing.

A new Lindsey Buckingham album is always to be treasured and “Seeds We Sow” fully lives up to the high standards he has previously set himself, both as a solo artist and with Fleetwood Mac.

can you please merge with the other thread i just started? also see the article quoted there about track listing and eagle rock.

http://nickslive.blogspot.com/2011/0...we-sow-on.html

This must be a recent development, because Lindsey's not listed on Eagle Rock's artists list:

http://www.eagle-rock.com/

look a bit above to the article i quoted - has more info. yeah i did the quick search on eagle rock too :)

elle, thanks for the info :xoxo:

It could be that he didn't sign an artist contract with Eagle Rock, just a "distribution" contract only. :shrug:

I wonder how it will be distributed as well. I.E, which stores, Best Buy, Wal Mart, etc, it will be sold through or if it might be possibly strictly an online purchase thing.

.Fans can argue the point till the cows come home. But the cold, hard truth of the matter is that Lindsey Buckingham has always been — and continues to be — the real brains and heartbeat behind Fleetwood Mac.

Want proof?

Look no further than “Tusk,” the band’s inventive 1979 two-disc set, wherein Buckingham followed his punk rock muse and tracked his own songs in his DIY home studio before returning to band sessions to oversee the other members’ material. So it’s no surprise that the Grammy-winning guitarist has returned to his old atavistic ways with “Seeds We Sow,” his new sixth solo album that streets on Sept. 6.

For “Seeds,” Buckingham took DIY to its ultimate zenith. He not only wrote and performed every note of the record himself, he produced and mixed it all, as well.

A first single, “In Our Own Time,” is already on the way. Even cooler? We can claim the guy as one of our own. Long before he and his Buckingham Nicks partner Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac and went on to sell over 100 million albums, then flew solo with 1981’s surreal “Law And Order” debut, he hailed from Palo Alto.

Recently, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer received a coveted Les Paul Award, plus ASCAP’s Golden Note Award. And he’s also launching a 31-city North American tour, which hits San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom on Oct. 19.

I'll tell you what, Ive got a feeling that this might just be his best album.:nod:

They should make those two bonus tracks. I'd also like a finished Steve's Riff. But this is great. I don't know anything about the 3 other songs, but just reading the titles gives me a thrill. Very happy, even though we are 3 months away.

Michele

I hope it 'rocks' big time!! Still it'll take alot to outshine Out of The Cradle for me. Time will tell though. I just want a rockin' new cd. Next he needs a Box Set with rarities. That would be great too!! I wonder if they'll be a extended version or something? Time will tell. :shrug::D

No extended versions please.. I hated that with Stevie's album. I feel it cheapens the product, although I'd love to hear more from LB.

Lindsey's New CD... Seeds We Sew !!!
 

Hi True Lindsey Fans,

Fleetwood Mac guitarist describes solo set as “best ever”

His Fleetwood Mac band-mate and former girlfriend Stevie Nicks recently described it as the best thing he has ever done, which is saying something. And apparently, guitarist and songwriter Lindsey Buckingham concurs. He has now confirmed details of his latest and forthcoming solo disc along with news of supporting tour dates.

Buckingham will release Seeds We Sow, his sixth solo album, on September 6. The album is Buckingham's first self-release, in which he took a true DIY approach, writing and performing every song on the record and producing and mixing as well, according to AntiMusic.com.
Buckingham also announced a 31-city North American tour in support of the album which kicks off on September 9 in Nevada and continues through October 25 in Napa, CA. Only one Canadian date has so far been announced - October 22 at Vancouver’s Centre for Performing Arts - but that could and likely will change.

“This might be the best work I've ever done. I think it's an excellent representation of what I do,” AntiMusic.com reports. “It shows a certain maturity and musicianship and I just feel like I have a lot of tools in my musical vocabulary from which to draw that are again the product of the choices I've made. It's on my own terms. This is very much from the inside out and I hope I never stop doing that."

A live performance of the new album’s first single, “In Our Own Time" that was recorded in L.A. last April is captured below; Buckingham prefaces the song with some background on the making of the disc. Check it out.

Ha, they used one of my videos to promote the album at least in that article. So glad I went to that show.

SEEDS WE SOW
1) Seeds We Sow - WHAT WE KNOW: Wiltern live version appeared on YouTube late, so I didn't give it many listens. Had very nice moments and a weird vocalization (a ta-ta-ta vocal guitar line).
2) In Our Own Time - WHAT WE KNOW: Will be the first single. It has a melodic switch up that reminds me of SOMETHING (a Christmas song or SOMETHING) that makes it instantly memorable, enjoyable, and moving. Great pop song.
3) Illumination - WHAT WE KNOW: The grooooviest song Lindsey has ever done.
4) That’s The Way Love Goes - WHAT WE KNOW: Lindsey's punk song, it's the closest to a Tusk track he's done since Law & Order. It also has the most instantaneously hooky and body-moving chorus he's written since the hey-day. (Every time I've played this song for someone, it seems to turn into a pub sing-a-long… during the FIRST listen!)
5) Stars Are Crazy - WHAT WE KNOW: The immediate fan favorite; it's as heartbreaking a summation of the Lindsey-Stevie saga as her "Everybody Loves You." The die-hard Lindsey-ites argue that it offers more emotional transparency than musical invention, however.
6) When She Comes Down - WHAT WE KNOW: THE FIRST SONG HE'S WRITTEN ABOUT HIS WIFE??!!!!!! "The Right Place to Fade" IS about Stevie. yay!
7) Rock Away Blind - WHAT WE KNOW: ???
8) One Take - WHAT WE KNOW: Rumoured to be the hardest-rocking song on the album(?)
9) Gone Too Far - WHAT WE KNOW: ???
10) End Of Time - WHAT WE KNOW: Can't wait to hear how it sounds in a studio-produced version, but the live version joins the upper echelons of contemporary Lindsey (joining "Steal Your Heart Away," "Bleed to Love Her," "Shut Us Down," and "The Right Place to Fade" in my estimation).
11) She Smiled Sweetly - WHAT WE KNOW: This Rolling Stones cover is the only track whose origin resides in the Gift of Screws sessions, so this one is actually available in a studio-produced bootleg. It. Is. GORGEOUS. So if it provides a clue as to the sound of this album, we in are in for a treat. WOW. JUST. WOW.


Interesting that we've heard the entire first half of the album. Then, for the second half, we've just heard the final and penultimate tracks. So what we know is: a) the first half is going to a humdinger and 2) the album ends on two beaaaauuuutiful songs.



ETA: Any other info/rumours/word on those four unheard tracks?

Sws
 

Very good points. Does anyone know how to get more info on the new songs??

where did you see mention of the DVD? I mustve missed it.

Just saw this article online. I thought it was a good one and you can find out about the song When She Comes Down. Hope it hasn't already been posted:

Thanks for posting that, SNLB. :) Interesting reading.

Is that the cover of the CD, I wonder? I like it! Except for the way they have Seeds We Sow..that looks odd to me. LOL Otherwise, LOVE the pic.

COME ON SEPTEMBER!!

I checked on tickets for Minneapolis, and they were selling "Seeds We Sow" along with the ticket for $10.99. The photo on the cd is the same as the promo pic with the guitar.

Yes, thank you SNLB.

Is it just me, or does it feel like the more we find out about SWS the farther September 6 seems??

I also like the pic which I guess is being used to promote the tour. It has the red background and it really POPS! Love LB's guitar on those two pics too. I kind of wish he didn't look so "angry" in the pictures, though. Rock stars...:p

I wonder if they'll sell Seeds We Sow at the shows autographed like they have at past tours with his previous solo albums? Like I could wait that long to buy it. Hahaha!

Liked what he said about End of Time and being dead and gone. And that was hilarious, Stevie asking if When She Comes Down was about some type of goddess. The fact that it is described as touching makes me think it's going to be sappy.

Michele

"orchestral guitar style"... explain.

THE FIRST SONG HE'S WRITTEN ABOUT HIS WIFE??!!!!!! wow. just. wow.

Stevie is hilarious.
Lots of this doubling on SYW, GOS. He's good at it. Def an advance 4 linds.

TrueFaith...
 

I believe he means that he gets lots of rich sound from his guitar by playing that "waterfall" type of stuff ala Bel Air Rain. It sounds like a plethora of guitars, when really...it's just Lindsey's going-crazy hands. :nod:

Does that make sense?

Oh most definitely. yay!

Who was It Was You about? The housekeeper?

Michele

:laugh: This whole band is definitely getting older and more forgetful.

my take is that he wrote this song on the new CD before any others like It was you.

Great news! It's something good to look forward to!

But it irks me to see that some people insist on putting an a possessive apostrophe on the term "CDs" It's ignorant, bad grammar. It drives me crazy.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

SWS CD on ticketmaster when buying concert tix
 

yes, it does. don't know if somebody already posted this, but now you can buy Seeds we sow CD for $10.99 when you buy LB concert tix via TM. i just bought it, but it's not clear when CD is going to be shipped.

I saw this too! So....how can you buy the CD if you already bought tickets? That wasn't there the other day!

:distress: go to another concert? :woohoo:

yeah - and it's not there for all venues... you'd think all venues/dates through TM would have it but i just checked 2 and one had it and the other didn't.

:laugh: I'd love to go to another show, but don't think I can do that! They should put the album in the Ticketmaster Merchandise section! It's odd to make it difficult to buy something when you'd think they'd want to sell as many as possible!
