Fleetwood Mac Tribute Feat. The Kills, J Mascis, More
June 18, 2012

Be it James Murphy’s oft-mentioned “Sara” obsession or Cat Power’s “Dreams”, indie artists have always had a soft spot for one of the best major-label acts of the ’70s. Now comes the inevitable indie-centric tribute record, but (aside from its impressive lineup) one name producing the project promises an excellent set as a whole: Randall Poster. He’s the music supervisor behind one of last year’s best tribute LPs, Rave On Buddy Holly, and Wes Anderson’s right-hand man on the Moonrise Kingdom OST,among other efforts of note.

This time, Poster recruited Antony Hegarty to sing “Landslide”, the Kills to take on “Dreams”, Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo and Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis for “Albatross”, and others. Also among the tracklist (via Direct Current) is a Blake Mills-produced cut by Billy Gibbons and a band perhaps misspelled in the press release as Super Wolf. Something tells me, given a few typos spotted, they might mean Superwolf, the duo Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Matt Sweeney formed in 2005. Due out August 14th via Hear Music/Concord.

Mm. My thoughts exactly. Looking forward to Marianne's cover of Angel but I'll probably give the rest a miss.

I know seriously only one Christine song!

I was assuming "Angel" was Stevie's song or is it Welch's? Anyhow, good for Welch and Peter to have some songs included on this project.

Same thing I said...never heard of these artists, but I don't keep up with current music.

Angel is Stevie's from Tusk..

I'm really really excited about this and glad each artist had the artistic freedom to make each song their own. I like a lot of these groups own songs and know most of them have cited FM as very large influences on their work. Can't wait!!

Oh! And also GREAT call to include these groups so it can be introduced to younger (MY ) generation!!

Sometime before Stevie joined the band FM had a song called Angel.

Oh really?! Thanks for pointing that out Vivfox. I'm pretty familiar with pre-rumours era suff but I'll go check that out. And honestly, since this tribute album isn't "greatest hits" centered, that is totally a possibility. Which I love!!

Not even Marianne Faithfull? She's 65.

[vivfox]

Anyone know what album Before The Beginning is from and who originally sang it?

[MacFan92]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually really excited about this. Who would've thought we'd see something like this that wasn't all Rumours album stuff? It does seem very Stevie-centric but I like a lot of the obscure song choices such as Angel and Straight Back.
