Poem: Silver Springs
Stevie Nicks gets told her song won’t make the cut. She leaves it in the vault for 20 years, takes it out, dusts it off, decides it’s time to bring it to life. She runs it by Lindsey. It’s got lyrics about how she would have loved him if he would only have let her. […]Archive

Fleetwood Mac: Rumours – 35th Anniversary Edition
Fleetwood Mac Rumours: 35th Anniversary Edition Warners The album remains a revelation to me – and it’s not even my favourite Fleetwood Mac record; I prefer Tusk and many of the pre-Buckingham/Nicks albums/line-ups.

The Vinyl Countdown # 1541
Fleetwood Mac, Rumours (1977) Maybe I should treat myself to a new version of this but the old second-hand copy I have – picked up for a buck or two some years back (with a chewed corner on the sleeve) – seems to play okay when I want to play it. Also, this music is […]Archive
