Music Picks: Lindsey Buckingham Los Angeles, Thousand Oaks & Boston


Lindsey Buckingham
The WILTERN - Los Angeles - May 4th
Last fall the Fleetwood Mac frontman played UCLA's Royce Hall not long after the release of his latest solo album, Seeds We Sow. But where that gig featured a backing band, tonight he'll go it alone in a show billed as "An Intimate Evening With Lindsey Buckingham." Like the two late-'00s solo discs that preceded it, Seeds warrants the intimate-evening treatment. It's full of complicated, acoustic-guitar music with weird chord progressions and creepy-whisper vocals. (In the unlikely event that you haven't dug out Rumours in a while, re-listen to "Never Going Back Again" to find out where Fleet Foxes and Iron and Wine are coming from.) Expect to hear recent stuff at the Wiltern, along with stripped-down renditions of Fleetwood favorites.

Lindsey Buckingham 
The Wilbur Theatre - Boston - May 29th
Fair warning: Buckingham’s set might be heavy on the pseudo-world crap that the legendary guitarist has been trying to pass off lately. However, for die-hard Fleetwood Mac fans, this show will be worth the ticket price just for the old gems like “Never Going Back Again” and “Go Your Own Way” that will inevitably be peppered into the evening.

Big Buck | Lindsey Buckingham, of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Fleetwood Mac | MCWeekly.com


Lindsey Buckingham, of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Fleetwood Mac, comes to Carmel.

By Adam Joseph

Next Thursday, Buckingham will perform a one-man show at the Sunset Center featuring Fleetwood classics and tunes from his personal library. 


Though he’s most widely recognized for Fleetwood Mac hits like “Go Your Own Way” and “Dreams,” many of Buckingham’s solo efforts have gained acclaim, including Under the Skin, which was named one of the Top 50 albums of 2006 by Rolling Stone. The Los Angeles Times called his most recent effort Seeds We Sow (his third in five years), “a blend of midlife introspection and limousine-liberal hand-wringing.”


Though Buckingham’s solo work – including his newest – bring elements of Fleetwood Mac’s airy folk feel, they also reflect his expanding musical tastes inspired by bands like Phoenix, the Dirty Projectors and Arcade Fire.

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM performs 7:30pm Thursday, May 10, at Sunset Center, San Carlos Street at Ninth, Carmel. $58; $68; $78. 620-2048.

Happy One Year Anniversary Stevie Nicks "In Your Dreams"


On this day one year ago, May 3rd, Stevie Nicks released her critically acclaimed 7th solo album "In Your Dreams" her first album of new material in 10 years!.  A monumental occasion!  

A huge thank you to Stevie for a truly awesome album...and also a huge thanks to Dave Stewart for helping Stevie write and record in a new way... The results couldn't be better! It was well worth the 10 year wait!  One year out and I still think it's probably one of the best, if not the best things she's ever done!  

The one thing left to complete this evolution will be the release of the In Your Dreams Documentary on the making of the album... When that will be nobody seems to know yet... Last I heard they were searching for a distributor... Hopefully it won't be another 10 year wait.


LIMITED FAN EDITION... 
STILL AVAILABLE
If you missed your chance when the album was first released to pick up a version of the album with the added bonus track "My Heart".  You're in luck!

Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham plays Sunset Center May 10 in Carmel, CA


Singer/songwriter and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac fame performs Thursday, May 10, at the Sunset Center in Carmel.

By BETH PEERLESS Herald Correspondent

The contrast between indie singer/ songwriter Lindsey Buckingham and his role as guitarist/lead singer in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group Fleetwood Mac couldn't be more pronounced.

Yet Buckingham juggles both with enthusiasm, and embraces the changes that have gone down around his solo work. Away from major label Warner Bros. for the first time in 30 years, he released "Seeds We Sow" on his newly minted indie label Mind Kit.
