Buckingham/McVie turns 7

[aleuzzi]

BuckVie gave me so much joy. I have complaints: Christine’s absence on Lindsey’s songs; his creepy vocals ghosting hers when she assumes lead; and the fact that we only have ten songs…

But these complaints are minor when compared to what we DO have, which is a set of catchy, well-written and performed tunes that show neither of the writers diminished in their ability to make great studio music.

I didn’t see them live—they weren’t playing near me. But I was thrilled they went out on the road for an intimate tour.

I was also glad to see most critics praise the record. They were getting recognized as musicians and writers—no drama, no wardrobe changes, no big speeches….
