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

BackBlog: Music You May Have Missed
Cincinnati City Beat
By Brian Baker 

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.

NPR Song of the Day: Lindsey Buckingham: An Oasis Of Acceptance


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."
by Marc Hirsh

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.

Former Fleetwood Mac member Billy Burnette sends "Rock N Roll With It" To Triple A

Billy Burnette (former Fleetwood Mac member '87 to '95) has released a new album titled "Rock N Roll With It".  His latest single, the album title track, has recently been released to 100's of Triple A stations around the US.  Check out the Rockabillyblues website for an extensive listing of stations sent the track and if one happens to be in your area - request they play the song.

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".

Here's a recent interview with Billy.  He talks about the all the artists he's played with + how his involvement with Fleetwood Mac came to be. Rockabillyblues
