I was driving home the other night and happened to turn to the Classic Rock channel on Sirius. The DJ was about to play a Fleetwood Mac song and all I caught was “Christine McVie, dead at the age of 79.” Total shock. Not only … Continue reading An ME Tribute to Christine McVie
Wherein I cram the last forty-five years of Mac into one post. By being populated with nothing but Nicks/Buckingham tunes, Spotify’s “This is Fleetwood Mac” is effectively null and void. It should be called “A Fleetwood Mac list compiled by idiots who don’t know shit.” … Continue reading Fleetwood Mac Mark III (final of 3) – You Will Never Break the Chain
I had thought of just doing a two-part series on Big Mac. But Rumours is too impactful an album not to get a post of its own. So here we go. “As Fleetwood Mac inched its way to the summit of the charts, our lives … Continue reading Fleetwood Mac Mark III (Part Two) – Rumours
Back when I was first blogging, I did a piece on the original Fleetwood Mac, a band that was heavily blues-oriented. I reposted it when Peter Green died. A lot of people cannot accept any version of Mac that is not a blues band. But … Continue reading Fleetwood Mac – Mark III (Part One)
My son told me about the Sound City documentary a while back but I never seemed to find the time to get around to watching it. Finally did this weekend. Glad I did. It’s a tribute not only to a great studio (and soundboard) but … Continue reading Music Documentary – Sound City
(Pictured – ME’s Music Vault) Wherein I periodically send our team into the vault to find tunes that ME has featured over the years and which he (and his minions) would not like the world to completely forget …. Fleetwood Mac is a band I … Continue reading From the Vault – Vol 7
Bob Welch saved Fleetwood Mac – Mick Fleetwood. The way I left was wrong and a mistake. I should’ve told them right away but I was desperate – Jeremy Spencer Wikipedia: “During a tour of the United States in February 1971 with new keyboardist Christine … Continue reading Fleetwood Mac – Mark II – (Second of Two)
Strictly speaking, there were really several versions of Fleetwood Mac. But in reading about them, you can really break them down into three phases – Peter Green (blues-based), Bob Welch/Christine Perfect McVie (pop and rock), Buckingham/Nicks (rock, soft-rock.) I’m calling the Bob Welch version Mark … Continue reading Fleetwood Mac – Mark II (Part One of Two)
I don’t always note when some rocker or blues person has died, simply because it’s become sadly all too commonplace these days. But I literally just read that Peter Green had died and so I thought I would re-publish this post. This is one of … Continue reading Original (Peter Green) Fleetwood Mac
Here’s a new feature. I’m putting three songs together more or less as a mini-set. There’s no real relationship between the songs other then unintentionally. Just three songs I like played back-to-back, almost like a disc jockey would randomly do. Some you might know, some … Continue reading Tres Songs (Mini-set)
