Reminds me of one of the very early Buckingham Nicks reviews:
Couple Show Appeal
Lindsey Buckingham (a he) and Stevi Nicks (a she) call themselves and their debut album Buckingham Nicks (Polydor PD 5058).
Neither is of soloist caliber, but together they produce a pleasant, albeit a whiny, vocal blend on some pretty fair songs, notably "Don't Let Me Down Again" (good rock despite hackneyed lyrics), the slower “Races Are Run”, and the progressive "Frozen Love. "Without A Leg To Stand On" and the pretty ballad "Crystal," though, are definitely for a stronger lead performer, a Cat Stevens, perhaps.
Still, even though Lindsey and Stevi aren't great, they somehow appeal, more so when singing together than apart.
And if you don't like the record, you might like the costumes they’re wearing on the cover - a couple of those oh-so-chic birthday suits.
