Tavis talks with the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer about his sixth studio CD, “Seeds We Sow.”check your locale listings
Though he taught himself to play guitar and still can't read music, Lindsey Buckingham has had a thriving career as a producer, solo artist and a member of Fleetwood Mac. He provided the band with brilliant songs and gifted arrangements, but left to concentrate on his solo career (though he’s joined the group for several reunions). On his latest release—his sixth studio album, “Seeds We Sow”— the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer wrote, produced and mixed every song. Buckingham has also announced a 31-city North American, which kicks off this fall.

The 61-year-old rock veteran begins touring for "Seeds" in Nevada on Sept. 10. Buckingham took a few minutes from his Los Angeles home to discuss his music and Fleetwood Mac's future before rehearsals started.

Review: Seeds We Sow "Buckingham takes an arty and often airy approach that harks back to “Tusk,” ★★★

Lindsey Buckingham
“Seeds We Sow”
self-released
★★★

Lindsey Buckingham’s sixth solo album starts with a shimmering guitar pattern that sounds similar to Fleetwood Mac’s “Never Going Back Again,” but rest assured no one will mistake this 11-song set for a Mac attack. As is his wont, Buckingham takes an arty and often airy approach that harks back to “Tusk,” with a dry ambience and plenty of sonic space. The politically tinged “One Take” rocks out in furious fashion, while “Illumination” and “That’s the Way Love Goes” are hooky pop gems. But it’s the emotive solo acoustic pieces such as “Stars Are Crazy,” “Rock Away Blind,” a hushed cover of the Rolling Stones’ “She Smiled Sweetly” and the title track that really bring these “Seeds” to fruition.

Review: Lindsey Buckingham's 'Seeds We Sow'

Lindsey Buckingham's 'Seeds We Sow'

By STEVE KNOPPER. Special to Newsday

Starting with 1981's "Law and Order," Fleetwood Mac co-frontman Lindsey Buckingham has been writing, recording and producing great solo works -- it's just that they're starting to sound alike after all these years. As usual, "Seeds We Sow" has impeccable high vocals, beautiful guitar-playing alternating between angry and soothing, well-crafted songs and a heavy rhythmic quality; best song here is the outraged "One Take."

Nicks Playing Tricks with her hair...

Musical sorceress weaves hypnotic spell over her solo and Fleetwood Mac staples

There's something downright magical about Stevie Nicks' unmistakable voice and charismatic stage presence that puts audience members on the edge of their seats with a single note or signature spin of her glitter-laced shawl. In the case of the In Your Dreams tour, the solo star and longtime Fleetwood Mac co-leader weaved a hypnotic musical spell over 110 action-packed minutes that revealed her songwriting is still as sharp as ever, with old hits standing up as though they were written yesterday.

Stevie's hair seems to have changed for the Chicago show... We've seen the waves before, but she departed from the side part... First time I noticed that on this tour... Click the image for more photos!

Canadian Press... September 2nd: Planting the Seeds

Lindsey Buckingham loves to go his own way – provided he can come back.
BY DARRYL STERDAN ,QMI AGENCY

The 61-year-old singer-guitarist says he has the best of both worlds these days: A career that balances his Fleetwood Mac duties with the freedom to make solo albums.

“On the one hand, I’ve got this large machine,” the California rocker explains. “And then on the other hand, I’ve also had this small machine. And I’ve been very fortunate to have both of those and to have those support each other. One serves as a palate cleanser for the other.

“You know, we all make choices in life. And I think I’ve been very lucky with those choices. Whether they were conscious or just the fate that was cast upon me — however you want to look at it, I think my karma as an artist and as a man has been pretty good. This is the best time of my life right now. So hopefully I did something right.”

Review: "In Your Dreams" is pure Nicks but with a more mature edge

STEVIE NICKS
Album review: "In Your Dreams" 

Stevie Nicks, who began winning hearts in the 1970s when she and Lindsey Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac, is back with her first solo album in a decade, "In Your Dreams." It's full of her trademark songs of love and longing, but the album is enriched by her experiences.

Consider the song "Soldier's Angel," which flows from solemn guitars that echo Nicks's world-weary vocals reflecting a soldier's mother, his wife and the soldier himself. Nicks's heartache is palpable, likely gained through her extensive charity work for the military.

Not that the album ever gets too heavy.

With "Annabel Lee," Nicks is right back to form. The song opens with soft keyboards that seem to almost sonically mimic a sprite before they give way to flowing guitars and Nicks's voice, this time as a maiden who lived with no other thought than to love and be loved. On "Cheaper Than Free," Nicks teams with producer Dave Stewart (the Eurythmics) for a duet in which they relish "what's better than alone, going home."

"In Your Dreams" is pure Nicks but with a more mature edge. It's a sound that's easy to love.
