Fleetwood Mac

ARTIST MAIN ARTIST INFO RELATED ARTISTS LINKS REVIEWS

While most bands undergo a number of changes over the course of their careers, few groups experienced such radical stylistic changes as Fleetwood Mac. Initially conceived as a hard-edged British blues combo in the late '60s, the band gradually evolved into a polished pop/rock act over the course of a decade. Throughout all of their incarnations, the only consistent members of Fleetwood Mac were drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie -- the rhythm section that provided the band with its name. Ironically, they had the least influence over the musical direct...[more]

Bare Trees (1972)

Arguably the first consistently strong album Fleetwood Mac ever recorded -- all the way back into the Peter Green/Jeremy Spencer era, the Mac's albums had previously consisted of individual moments of brilliance in a sea of uninspired filler -- 1972's Bare Trees is also the album where the band finally defines its post-blues musical personality. Low-key but less narcoleptically mellow than 1971's sleepy Future Games, Bare Trees is a singer/songwriter album in the traditional early [ read more ]

Behind the Mask (1990)

Fleetwood Mac's only full-length album with a lineup of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, Billy Burnette, and Rick Vito proved an artistic and commercial disappointment not so much because Lindsey Buckingham was missing as songwriter/guitarist/singer/ producer as because the group's other writers, Nicks and Christine McVie, didn't pick up the slack, relying on Burnette and Vito to come up with material. They tried: Burnette's {&"Hard Feelings," [ read more ]

Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac [Columbia] (2003)

Countless blues-rock guitar greats emerged during the late '60s -- the most recognizable names being Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. But one who usually gets overlooked is the great Peter Green, who led Fleetwood Mac early in their career. To coincide with the mammoth six-disc box set The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions, a single-disc compilation was issued, The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac (with both releases sharing the same front cover artwork). Although the latter version of {$ [ read more ]

Best of the Original Fleetwood Mac (1999)

One of several compilations of Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac material, this 18-song compilation has the virtue of budget pricing to recommend it, along with a healthy cross-section of material variously attributed to Green, Jeremy Spencer, and Danny Kirwan (as well as Howlin' Wolf et. al.), though at this stage of the group's history, originality of composition wasn't a virtue. The selection is excellent and the producers have put together a nice, basic package, filled with virtuoso playin [ read more ]
