Oh and it confirms with a quote that Cast Away Dreams is indeed about his lovely wife.
LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM
Under The Skin
2006 UK 11-track CD album
Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham will release ‘Under the Skin’, his first solo album in 14 years. ‘Under the Skin’ represents his fourth solo release following ‘Law and Order’ [1982], ‘Go Insane’ [1984] and ‘Out of the Cradle’ [1992].
Focussing almost purely on vocals and guitar with little percussive or production elements, ‘Under the Skin’ represents Lindsey Buckingham’s most intensely intimate work to date. The opening track ‘Not Too Late’ sets the tone for what follows with his searing vocals backed by a lone guitar. A similar approach is applied to his interpretation of ‘I Am Waiting’, the original of which featured on the 1966 Rolling Stones album ‘Aftermath’.
His minimalist approach also shines on ‘It Was You’, a celebration of the coming of parenthood that recalls a playground chant or on the infectious ‘Show You How’. It’s with ‘Cast Away Dreams’ that Buckingham delivers the album’s most personal & evocative moment. "On the road with Fleetwood Mac, my wife had been visiting me and we had a fight right before she had to get on a plane to go back to LA", he explains. "Alone that night in the hotel room I wrote the song. I phoned my wife the next morning and read her the lyrics".
Lindsey Buckingham plans to hit the road in support of ‘Under the Skin’ with a band line-up stripped down in comparison to the mass of guitarists that have featured in the past. He has also completed a documentary of the same name that features performances and an examination of his life and its influence on the album. A full album of rock material is almost completed and will be released in 2007.

i wonder if the actual documentary will be shelved until the 2007 release of the rock album or if that will be sold beforehand? i'm thinking shelved -- it would make more sense to chronicle the making of two albums back to back.
