Buckingham's "White Album" songs--all 2.5 of them--are okay but unexceptional when compared with the rest of his Mac songs. Monday Morning is bouncy and pleasant--but that's all. Burnette's first Mac songs on Behind the Mask were equal-to, if not better than this. I'm So Afraid is much better. The instrumental track is sublime. His vocals seem tentative, even strained.
His voice on Blue Letter is excellent. The World Turning collaboration represents his finest work on the record. Nicks's Crystal has an exceptional backing track (love the organ) and a fine vocal, though I wish Buckingham-Nicks sang this together as opposed to her stepping back.
