For those of you don’t know, Tusk was Fleetwood Mac’s double-album flop follow-up to Rumours. It has been described as pompous, over-ambitious and self-indulgent, but it’s one of my favourite albums of all time.
After making so much money with Rumours, Lindsey Buckingham could finally let it all hang out on this album with all sorts of experimentation in the studio. On top of that you get the absolutely gorgeous Sara and Beautiful Child from Stevie Nicks, and even some really good tracks from Christine McVie like Brown Eyes.
I like to think of this album as their Pet Sounds, and I’m sure Lindsey would be delighted to hear that, given how much he loves Brian Wilson. See if you can find the vinyl version, though, since only this one has the full version of Sara. On the cd version Sara is edited (butchered).
