Lindsey Buckingham, Under the Skin

(Reprise)

Lindsey Buckingham, Fleetwood Mac's dominant songwriter for 32 years, is a pop genius: his sunny harmonies pull you one way while an undercurrent of anguish tugs you the other. His extra-curricular work has always been intriguing, and this fourth solo album is a small masterpiece of tightly balanced musical contrasts. Buckingham's filigreed melodies echo such heroes of his youth as the Byrds and Donovan; in a voice more echo-drenched and multi-tracked than any since John Lennon's, he tremulously exhales such lines as "My children look away, they don't know what to say," only to burst into the yearning rapture of "It's not too late." As spacious as Buckingham's native California yet as fraught with unease, this is another gripping postcard from the edge of paradise.

This is the first review I've seen of the album, and it's great to see they liked it so much! Thanks for posting it.

Plus it was a very rare UK review, maybe there is hope for Under The Skin in the UK market, I would hope that most of the Sunday tabloids will carry a review.

However where is the mainstream rock press, have yet to see any articles in any guitar or rock based magazines, I just hope that they are in the next months

Under the Skin
Reprise

****

The Fleetwood Mac guitarist’s stripped-down acoustic album is luxuriant rather than austere. Sparse arrangements boast lush harmonies, while the imaginative production drapes Buckingham’s whine in eerie reverb. It works, though. High spots include the frenetic fingerpicking of Not too Late, the sunny Show You How and the howling Flying Down Juniper, evocative of Fred Neil and Tim Buckley.

Cool, maybe UK reviews are not that rare
