Just picked up Lindsey's Under the Skin album
 

So I was browsing CD's at my local library and ran across Lindsey's Under the Skin album. In case you don't already know, I've never heard any of Lindsey's solo songs and his Mac songs are my least favorite.

What songs do you recommend I listen to? :)

cool! not sure, try starting with down on rodeo, castaway dreams, and try for the sun.

I wouldn't have started with UTS. Take it back until after you've listened - beginning to end - to GOS and/or OOTC.

I love Cast Away Dreams ( dreams that are cast away - not the dreams of a castaway ). My favorite version though, is on Bass Hall, or the accoustic video version. DOR is fantastic too, but I like it so much better live also. In fact I like all of UTS better live. Great songs, but the production isn't my thing.

Listen to the whole album. as an album. from beginning to end. what is going on in this world?

^^ Agreed.

Yea Listen to the whole album.....more then once. Cause it takes FOREVER to sink in. I remember hating this album's guts. One day it clicked though. My third Favorite Lindsey Album.

I never heard this album, but you should've started with Out of the Cradle. Of course, if you wanted a bit of a shock, you should've started with Go Insane

EDIT: Except I have heard some songs from it on that Bass Performance Hall thing when it was on MSG (it's not just an arena, it's a channel in the New York area that, when Knicks, Rangers, and Islanders aren't playing, they play movies and junk, including Bucky in concert). Now, since we have an entire channel devoted to the Yankees (it's called YES), why can't they play stuff like that when it's the off season?

yeah, don't know why i keep writing castaway, must have seen it on youtube or somewhere... maybe also b/c lindsey seems to like his titles to have two different meanings;)

first thing i listened to when i decided to look into LB's music was bass hall on rhapsody, and it sounded somewhat too dark for a start...so agree about the whole (front-to-back:D) UTS not being the best intro, but since MacShadowsBall already has it in his hands, why not start with more "friendly-sounding" songs.

i like UTS DOR better than the live soundstage version, to me it seems to lose some of its lushness live.

Thanks for your replies... :woohoo:

I get off work at 5pm, assuming this snow storm that's gonna hit the South doesn't trap me in.

I checked with the library and this is the only CD of Lindsey's they have. I'm not interested in spending money on his other albums. I'll listen to the "Cast Away Dreams" first then the rest of the songs.

UTS is my least favorite Lindsey album. Of course, OoTC is unbelievably good, so if you don't care for UTS get it instead.

Now that i got that junk about channels you probably never heard of, based on what i've heard live, I found some of the songs kinda boring, but it was generally good IMO, even though I was expecting more Big Love-style playing

Exactly what I was thinking with the more "friendly-sounding" songs and also the ones my fellow Ledgies like the best! :nod:

If you don't dig it. don't torture yourself. Lindsey is at his most approachable in Fleetwood Mac, If you don't like him there...well....
