Music You May Have Missed - Lindsey Buckingham "Seeds We Sow"

There have been many Lindsey Buckinghams, none of them being the frequent guest on DeAndre Cole’s What Up with That. There’s the Buckingham who teamed with girlfriend Stevie Nicks on their ill-fated 1973 album, and the Buckingham who joined Fleetwood Mac in 1974, bringing Nicks along in the deal and transforming the British Blues-to-Pop outfit into a commercial juggernaut. There’s the Buckingham whose break-up with Nicks fueled the creative engine that drove 1977’s Rumours to platinum numbers, the Buckingham whose perfectionism and substance binges colored the schizophrenically wonderful Tusk, the Buckingham who left Fleetwood Mac, the one who came back and all the Buckinghams who have maintained a potent presence in the band ever since.

Then there are the solo Buckinghams, the early ones on the Fleetwoodiesque Law and Order and Go Insane and the introspective and vindictive Out of the Cradle, and the later ones from the husband and father; the acoustic Under the Skin, the long-delayed Gift of Screws and the new, self-released Seeds We Sow.

Lindsey Buckingham: An Oasis of Acceptance

Song Of The Day - "End of Time"


"Buckingham's lush, chiming "End of Time" opens with an inquisition into the infinite."

Compared to the casualness with which Lindsey Buckingham attended to the first 25 years of his solo career, the past six years have seen a flurry of activity. That goes not just for the speed with which he's churned out his last three albums, but also for the bulk of material they contain. Armed with both a frenzied fingerpicking style and the technological flexibility afforded to him by ultra-modern recording capabilities, many of Buckingham's newer songs sound as if there are so many ideas pouring out of his head that he's frantically trying to capture them before they're lost forever.

One of the grand exceptions on the recent Seeds We Sow is "End of Time," an oasis of calm acceptance that stands in bold relief to the speed-crazy playing and track-maximizing overdubbing found elsewhere. It's lush, true, but it's also simple, recalling Buckingham's 1981 single "Trouble." In fact, the two start out much the same, with a steady, unfussy drumbeat establishing the bones of the song before Buckingham himself enters, his voice chiming softly like the guitars that flesh it out.

While Buckingham, true to the title, opens with an inquisition into the infinite, he turns to an expression of more personal matters by the end. Distance, death, eschatology; none of it matters in his reckoning. The lights may fade, he seems to be saying in "End of Time," but some spark of love and gratitude will shine through. Buckingham intends to shine along with it.

Billy's history with Fleetwood Mac goes way back even before he joined the band officially.  He first joined Mick Fleetwood's "The Zoo" in the early 80's and released one album "Shaking The Cage" with them.  He wrote "So Excited" with Christine McVie which appeared on her 2nd solo album in 1984 and also appeared with Christine live on the taping of "Christine McVie The Video Album".  He backed up Lindsey Buckingham during his Saturday Night Live appearance in the early 80's plus did a duet with Stevie on "Are You Mine".  He officially joined Fleetwood Mac in 1987, prior to the "Tango In The Night" world tour.  With Billy in the band they released "Greatest Hits" in 1988 "Behind The Mask" in 1990" and "Time" in 1995 - all of which Billy appeared on.  He also contributed to John McVie's only solo album in 1992 "John McVie's Gotta Band".

Cinedigm signs Dave Stewart to bring Documentary Films to the Big Screen

Cinedigm Plans Documentary Series With Eurythmics Star Dave Stewart 

Cinedigm has signed Grammy winning rock star and producer Dave Stewart to bring a series of documentary films to movie theaters in a regular, recurring time slot, the company said Thursday. 

The deal with Cinedigm emerged after he showed the company documentaries he had made about his collaborations with Nicks and Stone.

Each segment will focus on the songwriting process, and will culminate in a performance showcasing new songs.

The films will be produced by Stewart's Weapons of Mass Entertainment, with each installment in the "Dave Stewart Presents ..." series featuring Stewart and a variety of musical guests -- although the rock star is remaining mum about who will be in the line-up.
