Lindsey Buckingham Seeds We Sow Review

Somethingelsereviews.com 
by: Nick DeRiso

"You keep waiting for Lindsey Buckingham, the old rebel, to soften into middle-aged acceptance, to conform. This isn’t that record. Credit Buckingham for never trading true emotion for sentiment. Seeds We Sow is as hard eyed as it is musically ambitious — beginning with its abruptly confessional album-opening title track."

Album Review: Lindsey Buckingham "Seeds We Sow" 4 (out of 5)

Lindsey Buckingham "Seeds We Sow" 

Buckingham gone to seed? Not a chance. Like its predecessors, the Mac daddy’s superb sixth solo CD is a DIY affair, with LB layering his precise needlepoint fingerpicking and high-whispery vocals atop beatboxes, sparse instrumentation and home-studio sonics. Add some sharp folk-rock cuts about karma and you’ve got the best album Mac didn’t make this year. What up wit dat?

RATING: 4 (out of 5)
