Fleetwood Mac fans hoping for new material from the seminal rock group will have to keep on waiting. In the meantime, perhaps we can content ourselves with the recently-released eponymous effort from Fleetwood Mac founding members Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie.
While Stevie Nicks is always missed when she’s not there, Buckingham and McVie, with assists from other original members Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, certainly manage to conjure up something in the neighborhood of Fleetwood Mac’s gently rollicking, arty, pop-rock sound. In fact, the sessions for this album began as Fleetwood Mac sessions, before that plan was ditched due to Nicks’ focus on her solo work.
After a successful summer tour behind the album, the 1970s rock icons are back out on the road and coming to town. For longtime fans and the curious alike, this promises to be a swell show — part looking back fondly, part celebrating a new era.
