Buckingham Nicks

(which is what I did not too long after I first read that Buckingham Nicks had joined Fleetwood Mac...long before the '75 album came out.)

Ok, here, get those iPods out and try this running order as your playlist:


Don't Let Me Down Again
Prove Your Love
Long Distance Winner
Stephanie
Races Are Run
Lola (My Love)

Heroes Are Hard To Find
Crying In The Night
Without A Leg To Stand On
Come A Little Bit Closer
Frozen Love

Right?

I always viewed Stephanie as sort of an intro to Without a Leg to Stand On

I love this album. I know everyone on here raves about Tusk, but IMO Lindsey's consistently best work (at least in terms of vocals and guitar playing and perhaps melody, if not lyrics) is on BN.

As for Stevie's work, I'm partial to LDW & I listen often to the live version on Youtube.

I couldn't agree more. This album is so under-rated, much like pre-Nicks/Buckingham FM albums. I think Lindsey's raw talent shows so much more on this album than Tusk.

Ok so completely forgot about this thread...but after hearing and downloading the album...I am completely obsessed. Frozen Love is amazing with all of its harmonies and Lindsey's phenomenal guitar playing. Also, I love this version of "Crystal" a lot...maybe even more than the one on the white album. And "Long Distance Winner" is my favorite song on the entire album...so beautiful. I also love the way Stevie's voice sounds on the album...very "organic" love it!! And Django is exquisite...beautiful song by Lindsey. And Stephanie is really beautiful...lovely acoustic guitar!!! All in all, I totally love this album !!!!

It would make me smile so hard if they would not only release this album on disc (having paid £100 for the vinyl and a further one hundred for the singles I'm wanting more!) but for them to also release the guitar sheet music! I am desperate for the full tabs and not just the intro...

What do you mean the "intro"?

Just making sure...you DO know that Lindsey didn't write "Django", right?

It was written by legendary jazz pianist John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet.

Oh, here's the sheet music for it:

I mean the instrumental section before the singing begins, there's a tab for it you see but then they give only chords and lyrics...

I'm mainly a classical guitarist so adore playing Lindsey Buckingham pieces when my formal ones aren't appropriate but am truly awful at being able to transcribe them myself...

Oh I didn't realize you were talking about Long Distance Winner. The intro is pretty much just an instrumental version of a verse and chorus, except it's mainly arpeggios on the chorus. Just arpeggiate the chords and listen to the song for the song rhythm. Bridge could be a bit tricky, I'll have a look at it.
