Rediscovering Fleetwood Mac’s Bare Trees

A Quiet Classic That Still Speaks Volumes

Originally released: March 1972

Billboard Top 200 Debut April 22, 1972 - No. 175

When Fleetwood Mac released Bare Trees in 1972, the band was in the midst of yet another lineup evolution. The Peter Green-led blues era was behind them, and the multi-platinum Buckingham-Nicks era was still years away. But instead of losing direction, the band leaned into change—and crafted one of the most quietly powerful records of their career.

Billboard recognized it at the time, calling Fleetwood Mac “one of the most consistently excellent British rock bands,” despite the frequent personnel shifts. And Bare Trees proves that point. The album is moody, melodic, and deeply human. It doesn’t scream for attention—it invites you in.

Danny Kirwan’s Moment

Much of Bare Trees is shaped by the hand of guitarist and vocalist Danny Kirwan. He wrote five of the ten tracks and set the emotional tone of the album. Billboard noted his “delightful little flourishes,” and rightly so—his playing is nuanced, full of melancholy and light. Songs like “Child of Mine” and “Bare Trees” reflect a quiet yearning, mixing introspection with the melodic precision that Kirwan was known for.

Then there’s “Danny’s Chant”—a nearly wordless, tribal groove that shows Kirwan's experimental edge. It’s a hypnotic track that feels both earthy and otherworldly, standing in stark contrast to the more lyrical pieces.

The Emerging Voices of McVie and Welch

Though Kirwan takes center stage, Bare Trees also marks a pivotal moment for Christine McVie and Bob Welch. McVie contributes “Spare Me a Little of Your Love”, a piano-driven gem that hints at the smooth pop brilliance she would bring to the band’s later success. Welch, meanwhile, offers the dreamy “Sentimental Lady”, which he would revisit as a solo artist years later to great success.

These tracks give the album a sense of balance—bridging the emotional guitar work of Kirwan with the softer, soulful melodies that would define Fleetwood Mac’s sound in the mid- to late-'70s.

Setting a Mood, Not Making Noise

Unlike the heavier rock dominating the charts at the time, Fleetwood Mac’s Bare Trees doesn't aim for high volume or grand statements. Instead, it “sets moods that are subtly relaxing, quietly meaningful,” Billboard observed. And that’s precisely the magic of this album. It’s a record that rewards repeat listens, where small details reveal themselves like secrets over time.

From the haunting spoken-word poem “Thoughts on a Grey Day” that closes the album, to the icy melancholy of “Dust,” Bare Trees feels like a winter album—bleak at times, but beautiful in its honesty.

Chart Performance & Legacy

Upon its initial release, Bare Trees charted modestly but steadily in the U.S., eventually reaching No. 70 on the Billboard 200. Though not a commercial blockbuster at the time, the album found a growing audience in the years that followed, especially as Fleetwood Mac’s popularity skyrocketed in the mid-to-late 1970s.

In the United States, the album was officially certified Gold by the RIAA on March 10, 1976, signifying over 500,000 units sold—a delayed but significant validation of its enduring appeal.  The album has was certified Platinum in the US in February, 1988 for sales of 1 million units. 

In the United Kingdom, Bare Trees did not chart upon its original release, a reflection of Fleetwood Mac's then-transitioning identity and limited UK promotion during that era. However, the album has since become a sought-after vinyl and CD reissue item among fans and collectors, solidifying its status as a cult favorite.

Bare Trees also holds historical significance as the final Fleetwood Mac album to feature Danny Kirwan, whose departure shortly after marked the end of an emotionally complex but creatively rich chapter in the band’s story.

Stevie Nicks’ “Rooms On Fire” (1989)

 

Stevie Nicks’ “Rooms On Fire” (1989): The Story Behind the Song

Released in the US on April 21, 1989, Stevie Nicks’ single “Rooms On Fire” arrived as a fiery statement at the close of the 1980s​. It was the lead single from The Other Side of the Mirror – Nicks’ fourth solo album – where it also served as the opening track​.  With its passionate lyrics and shimmering production, “Rooms On Fire” quickly caught fire on the charts and in the hearts of fans. More than just a love song, it offers a window into Nicks’ emotional world and artistic direction at that pivotal time in her career.

Release and Context

By 1989, Stevie Nicks was a seasoned rock star balancing her role in Fleetwood Mac with a successful solo career. The Other Side of the Mirror (released May 1989) was crafted in the wake of Fleetwood Mac’s Tango in the Night (1987) triumph and Nicks’ own journey through rehab in the mid-80s​.  She had overcome a cocaine addiction only to be prescribed the tranquilizer Klonopin as an aid to recovery – a dependency that would linger for years.  Though this medication left her feeling clouded and vulnerable, Nicks was determined to channel her creativity into a new project. “Rooms On Fire” emerged as the first taste of that project, setting an introspective yet empowering tone. Modern Records released the song as the album’s lead single in late April 1989, accompanied by a striking music video and big promotional push​.  Nicks stood at a crossroads: still a member of Fleetwood Mac, yet pouring her energy into solo work – a theme subtly reflected in the album’s title, The Other Side of the Mirror, which nods to Alice Through the Looking Glass. Much like Alice’s journey between worlds, Nicks was moving between the dual realms of band and solo life, public persona and private self​.

Fleetwood Mac continues to captivate music fans across the globe

 

Fleetwood Mac’s Timeless Appeal Keeps the Charts Buzzing

Decades after their peak, Fleetwood Mac continues to captivate music fans across the globe. The band’s catalog isn’t just aging gracefully—it’s thriving in today’s digital streaming era. Two of their most beloved albums, Greatest Hits and Rumours, are once again rising on the Billboard charts this week, with one making a surprising return and the other continuing its marathon chart run.

Fleetwood Mac’s influence spans generations, and these recent chart movements serve as a reminder that their music isn’t just iconic—it’s evergreen. Whether streamed, downloaded, or bought on vinyl, fans are still consuming their classics at a remarkable rate.

Greatest Hits Reclaims Its Spot on the Charts

Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits, originally released in 1988, has made a notable comeback on two major U.S. charts. This week, the compilation reenters the Billboard 200 at No. 173 and also returns to the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, where it rebounds into the top 40 at No. 40.

The return of Greatest Hits isn’t just a nostalgic blip. According to music analytics firm Luminate, the album moved 9,000 equivalent album units in the most recent tracking week. The bulk of that performance came from streaming—proving its enduring popularity with both longtime fans and new listeners. Interestingly, over 1,000 of those units were pure album sales, demonstrating that people are still purchasing this collection in physical or digital formats nearly four decades after its release.

A Long-Running Legacy: Greatest Hits by the Numbers

Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits has been a consistent performer on the charts for years. It previously climbed as high as No. 4 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart and is on the cusp of another milestone: if it sticks around a bit longer, it will hit 300 total weeks on that list—a rare achievement for any album, let alone a greatest hits package.

On the Billboard 200, the compilation has already logged over 300 weeks. While it never cracked the top 10 on that chart, its peak at No. 14 remains impressive, especially when you consider the sheer volume of music released in the decades since its debut.

This kind of longevity is reserved for only the most revered bodies of work. And Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits is clearly in that league.

Rumours Shows No Signs of Slowing Down

While Greatest Hits reenters the conversation, Rumours continues to prove that some albums truly never fade. Released in 1977 and widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time, Rumours remains an absolute force on the charts—nearly 50 years later.

This week alone, Rumours appears on six different Billboard charts. Even more impressively, it ranks within the top 40 on five of those lists, continuing its nearly unparalleled streak.

Here’s where Rumours lands this week:

• No. 4 – Top Rock Albums

• No. 5 – Top Rock & Alternative Albums

• No. 12 – Top Vinyl Albums

• No. 17 – Top Album Sales

• No. 18 – Top Indie Store Album Sales

• No. 43 – Top Streaming Albums

• No. 33 – Billboard 200 (now at 628 total weeks on the chart)

Rumours consistently outperforms many new releases, and its high placement across vinyl, streaming, and rock-specific charts proves that it remains a multigenerational favorite.

A Legendary Album That Keeps Winning

To put things in perspective: Rumours is now just over a year away from reaching 700 weeks on the Billboard 200. Only a handful of albums in history have reached that milestone. If it stays on track—and there’s every reason to believe it will—it will join an elite club that includes The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and Legend by Bob Marley and the Wailers.

Featuring iconic tracks like “Go Your Own Way,” “Dreams,” “Don’t Stop,” and “The Chain,” Rumours isn’t just one of Fleetwood Mac’s greatest achievements—it’s one of the most impactful records in rock history. Its continued success is proof that great music truly is timeless. Even as Greatest Hits resurfaces with some of these same tracks, Rumours remains the definitive way to experience them.

Holding Court in the UK

Fleetwood Mac’s chart success isn’t limited to the United States. Over in the UK, they’re holding steady on multiple fronts.

This week, Rumours remains inside the top 30 of the UK Albums Chart, landing at No. 25—just slightly down from No. 23 last week. Meanwhile, the band’s 2018 compilation 50 Years – Don’t Stop is still a major seller. It comes in at No. 7, a minor dip from No. 6, with an impressive 6,422 units sold this week alone.

Since its release, 50 Years – Don’t Stop has spent a remarkable 335 weeks inside the top 75 in the UK—90 of those inside the top 10. That level of consistent chart presence is virtually unheard of for a retrospective album, and it speaks volumes about Fleetwood Mac’s enduring popularity across the pond.

The Bottom Line: A Catalog That Keeps Giving

Fleetwood Mac’s music isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving. In an era dominated by fast-moving trends and digital streaming, their catalog continues to rack up real, tangible wins. Whether it’s a classic like Rumours logging its 628th week on the Billboard 200, or a greatest hits collection finding its way back into the top 200, the message is clear: the world still wants Fleetwood Mac.

With songs that speak to heartbreak, resilience, creativity, and chaos—all delivered through unforgettable melodies and harmonies—it’s no wonder their work remains essential listening. Fleetwood Mac isn’t just a legacy act. They’re still charting a course through modern music history—one week at a time.

Stevie Nicks Working on New Album Her First Since 2011

Stevie Nicks Reveals She’s Working On New Album, Includes Song About Prince

Pollstar

The legendary Stevie Nicks, who tonight was inducted into the Pollstar Live Hall of Fame and graces the cover of this week’s Pollstar, broke news from the stage during her acceptance speech that she is currently working on a new album.

“I’m actually making a record right now,” Nicks said. “I call it the ghost record because it just kind of happened in the last couple of weeks.”  Nicks explained that she began work on the new record after being evacuated from her Los Angeles home due to the wildfires and after being evacuated for 91 days she needed  to “get back to work.”  That led to her writing new music.  

“I have seven songs and they are autobiographical,” Nicks continued. “real stories where I’m not pulling any punches for probably the first time in my life. They’re not airy-fairy songs that you’re wondering who they’re about, but you really don’t get it. They are real stories, memories of mine, of fantastic men.”

Nicks then pointed to one of those “fantastic men,” famed music mogul Jimmy Iovine and said, “You’re next.” Iovine, who inducted Nicks into the Pollstar Live Hall of Fame and also produced her records, once dated Nicks.

Another “fantastic man” is the music icon Prince, who initially inspired Nicks to work on her new record. “I’ve written a song about Prince because we were friends,” she explained before recounting a story of meeting up with the famed musician at the Hollywood premiere of “Purple Rain,” which she apparently couldn’t watch after the film’s love interest, Apollonia, is slapped.

“So I go across the street to the party. (Prince) Is upstairs in a little room and he’s basically waiting for me to ask me, ‘Well, did you love it?’ And I’m like, ‘I only saw the first half.’ And he’s like, ‘Why?’  “Because you slap that girl.’  And I said, ‘But I brought you a gift. It’s a really beautiful 24 carat necklace with little gold hearts on it.’ And he goes, “I don’t want your necklace and then he said, this is in the song and this is where this record began. ‘You always bring me a gift. You never bring me you.’

Nicks, whose extensive music career dates back to the 1960s, forming Buckingham Nicks, joingng Fleetwood Mac in 1974  and going solo in the early-’80s has had one of the most successful careers in the music business. She’s the only women to be elected to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame—twice.

Stevie Nicks The Road & 2025 Pollstar Live Hall Of Fame Inductee

Stevie Nicks, The Reigning Queen Of Rock & Roll, The Road & 2025 Pollstar Live Hall Of Fame Inductee

by Bob Mehr

Pollstar

It was somewhere around 1960 when Stevie Nicks stepped on stage for the first time. Nicks was just 12 years-old she made her debut, bringing a bit of rock ‘n’ roll showmanship to her El Paso grade school talent show.

“Me and my friend Colleen, we choreographed a tap dance routine to Buddy Holly’s ‘Everyday,’” Nicks recalls. “We practiced on my porch for weeks ’til we got it perfect. All the people there really seemed to like it, and I was hooked.”

More than six decades later, Nicks’ dedication to performing and the affection of audiences remains undiminished making her a much-deserved inductee into Pollstar’s 2025 Live Hall of Fame. “The ability to go on stage and put on makeup and outfits and sing and dance and tell stories, that’s such a big part of who I am,” says Nicks. To wit, as this story was going to press, Nicks announced new arena tour dates slated for August and October.

As a member of Fleetwood Mac – a group which she joined in 1974 – Nicks would come to define the band’s transformation from blues-rock band to global pop superstars. In the early-’80s, at the height of the Mac’s multiplatinum peak, she ventured off into a solo career with the equally successful Bella Donna, eventually earning distinction as one of the only women elected to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame—twice.

These days, multiple generations of stars – including the biggest contemporary acts, from Taylor Swift to Beyoncé to Lana Del Rey – all pay homage to Nicks. At 76, she’s arguably at the height of her cultural relevance and popularity, playing massive shows throughout the world. “Look at the power and joy she brings to people,” says her friend and longtime bandmate Mick Fleetwood. “She’s like Edith Piaf. They love her. They feel her.”

“She’s a force,” notes Nicks’ longtime collaborator, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench. “Artist after artist – mostly women – talk about her as a creative influence, as an example of someone who just shone through in the midst of all the men in this business. She’s had a huge impact on things in a way that people don’t even realize.”

Fellow Heartbreaker Mike Campbell – who toured with Nicks as part of Fleetwood Mac in 2018-2019 – says it’s her total commitment that makes her so compelling. “She has a way of connecting with people in this very passionate, real way,” notes Campbell. “And I think that’s why she’s so beloved. Stevie’s really unlike any other rock star I can think of.”

For Nicks, the importance of playing live has taken on a new meaning since the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. After being forced off the road in 2020 and 2021, Nicks returned to the stage 2022 and has been going strong ever since, headlining her own shows and sharing bills with fellow rock vet Billy Joel.

The pandemic pause was difficult and frustrating for Nicks, but the time away also helped reinvigorate her. “I feel like I’m a better performer than I’ve ever been,” Nicks says. “And maybe that’s because of the years we had off and were banished from the road. I certainly appreciate being able to go on stage now more than ever.”

Campbell notes that Nicks has devoted herself to maintaining her greatest gift, her voice. “Stevie’s such a unique singer, but she also has a really strong work ethic,” says Campbell. “She has her vocal coach on tour who works with her every day. And she still sings great because she works at it. She doesn’t just coast along.”

Tench, who filled in on tour with Nicks a few summers ago, notes that her powerful contralto remains a thrilling instrument. “It was astounding to be on stage every night and listen to that,” says Tench, “to listen to her sing like that night after night.”

In 2025, Nicks also continues to find deep connection with her veteran backing group, which includes close decades-long collaborators like singer Sharon Celani and guitarist Waddy Wachtel. “When I walk on-stage, I couldn’t be prouder of my band,” notes Nicks.

“The thing about Stevie is she’s real rock and roller, and I don’t use that term loosely,” says Wachtel, who’s known Nicks since 1970 and has been her band leader since the early-’80s. “We get out there and try and put the songs across in a genuine way. We’re trying to present them the way those records affected people originally. That’s an important thing.”

These days, Nicks’ concerts are less elaborate stage productions, and more deeply felt story sessions. “I just wear one cool outfit for the whole thing and tell a lot of tales,” Nicks says. “I have a really good time putting my stories in and out of the songs. That part has been fun.”

Nicks’ recent FireAid performance was one of the night’s most poignant. She told tale of her harrowing evacuation from her Palisades home, which she was certain would be destroyed by the encroaching inferno. Giving full credit to the heroic firefighters, especially a team from Santa Rosa who saved her home, Nicks dedicated to them a stunning rendition of “Landslide,” a song she wrote in 1973 that has come to mean so much to so many.

According to Pollstar Boxoffice Reports, Nicks has averaged 10,200 tickets and $1.2 million gross per show. Her career gross, listed at $320 million, is much higher with her Boxoffice reports only dating back to 2001. If you add in Fleetwood Mac’s Boxoffice total of $600 million and her solo career launched in 1981 she easily crosses the $1 billion mark.

Nicks’ top-notch team includes manager Sheryl Louis of CSM Management, Creative Artists Agency’s Jeff Frasco, lawyer Jamie Young, longtime executive assistant Karen Johnston and Kristen Foster of Full Coverage Communications.

Now with her solo arena tour and a series of major stadium shows withoel planned for the summer of and fall of 2025 – at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, and Ford Field in Detroit – Nicks plans on carrying on as she always has: bringing her special alchemy of music and magic to massive audiences across the country, and around the world.

“That’s what I’ve done since I was a kid, since I was a little girl,” says Nicks. “And I’m still doing it. I don’t intend to stop.”
