ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- BRE Presents welcomes singer-songwriter-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham in the Xanadu Theater at Trump Taj Mahal, on Saturday, October 11 at 8:00 p.m.
Lindsey Buckingham is most notable for being a member of the musical group Fleetwood Mac in the early 1970s and 1980s. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, he was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Within Fleetwood Mac, his role as a singer/songwriter/arranger/producer was the key that made the band's music very successful.
As a solo artist, Buckingham has released four albums and one live album. His latest, "Gift Of Screws" is set for release on September 16, 2008 .
His first solo album " Law and Order," was released in 1981. Buckingham played nearly every instrument and it featured guest appearances by Mick Fleetwood and Christine McVie. The album spawned the hit single " Trouble", a slice of Southern California Beach Boys-inspired pop that reached #9 on the US Charts and #1 in Australia. Two years later, he wrote and performed the songs "Holiday Road" and "Dancin' Across the U.S.A." for the film National Lampoon's Vacation. "Holiday Road" was released as a single, but reached only #82 on the Billboard 's Hot 100. In 1984 , he released his second solo album, "Go Insane." The title track was a modest hit, reaching #23 on the Hot 100. The last track of the album, "D.W. Suite," was a tribute to the late Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson. He did other soundtrack work, including the song "Time Bomb Town" from Back to the Future in 1985.
Following his split with Fleetwood Mac in 1987, Buckingham spent much of the next five years in the studio, working on his third solo album, " Out of the Cradle ," which was released in 1992 , and received some favorable reviews but did not achieve the sales levels associated with Fleetwood Mac. Buckingham toured throughout 1992-93 for the first time as a solo artist with his band that included an army of seven other guitarists (Buckingham himself calls them "the crazy band" on his Soundstage DVD), each of whom he individually taught the entire two-and-a-half hours of music from the concert (Lindsey Buckingham: Behind the Music documentary for VH-1 , 2001).
"Gift of Screws" was recorded between 1995-2001 and ultimately presented to Warner Brothers/Reprise for release. Executives at the label persuaded Buckingham to hold the CD back take several tracks from the album to re-record them with Fleetwood Mac. Seven songs from "Gift of Screws" appear on the Fleetwood Mac album "Say You Will" in the same form as Buckingham had recorded them for his solo release.
Last fall, Buckingham embarked on his first U.S. solo tour in nearly 14 years, which continued through the summer.
