The Best Guitarist in The World: # 11 – Lindsey Buckingham
You never even used to see this guy considered for The Best Guitarist lists…and, actually, maybe you still don’t, come to think of it…but I reckon something changed when the core version of Fleetwood Mac, the classic FM-music version of the group, reformed for Bill Clinton’s inauguration and started a victory-lap tour of sorts. (One […]Archive

Tweedy: Sukierae
Tweedy Sukierae Anti/Epitaph Here Jeff Tweedy of Wilco has made a double album with his son Spencer on drums. It’s so painfully long and pleased with itself they should have called it Ron Jeremy. Actually, it would make more sense, on paper maybe, if this was the new Ryan Adams album – and the self-titled […]Archive

Fleetwood Mac Extended Play – EP LMJS Productions Though you could argue it’s phoned in by the title alone, I really like this four-track EP by Fleetwood Mac, the band’s first release in a decade and their second set of recordings sans Christine McVie.

The Vinyl Countdown # 1608
Fleetwood Mac, Tusk (1979) One of the defining albums of my childhood – and therefore always my favourite Fleetwood Mac record. I still have the copy that my mum used to play when I was four-five-six-seven-eight years old. And that I started playing myself from then too – and on through high-school and university. […]Archive
