Now, I LIKES me some Fleetwood Mac…but the Buckingham/Nicks version wasn’t my very favorite, despite the prodigious talent of those individuals. (And Christine McVie as well, who REALLY came into her own as a song-writer during that period.)

I preferred the dirty, diereputable Chicago blues version of the Big Mac, headed up by Peter Green. Just check THIS puppy out:

And remember that it was the mighty Mr. Green who wrote that song…

This is a great song. I’m So Afraid from his first album with Fleetwood Mac is my favorite song of his. Just gives me chills.

Off topic aside:

Saw Steve Winwood last week. Finally got to hear Can’t Find My Way Home, with the real voice. An amazing set shifting between Spencer Davis, Traffic, Blind Faith, and solo works. You forget how many great songs he sang. Winwood looked to be in good shape and spirits — and was enjoying himself completely. Highly recommended (he’s fronting the current Heartbreakers tour).

Loves me some Lindsey!

Billy Shears, Steve Winwood is a fire-breathing MONSTER. A natural resource. I saw him twice with Traffic in the Good Ol’ Days, but I just saw him a couple of years ago at the local House of Blues.

He destroyed me.

There was no bass player in that band, sterling Steve took care of it all with the pedals on his Hammond…and it was so strong, so funky that I missed NOTHING.

And you’re right: He’s having as much fun up there as ever!

How lucky you are to have seen him with Traffic. Where was the show?

He was pedaling the bass last Saturday too. Had a nice little combo band - drums, percussion, guitar, and sax/key man. They opened with I’m A Man, and owned it from the first chord screaming out of the B3.

Lindsay, Frampton, Lifeson… underrated to be sure.

Lindsey’s solo work is quite good. I highly recommend them all.

Lindsey has such a nice melodic sound, always liked his stuff.

And lucky are the people who have gotten to see Steve Winwood, that would be so amazing to hear I Can’t Find my Way Home
live and of course, his other wonderful stuff. Such a unique voice.

“Yeah this is a song that I probably will always like because…it was a song…that I wrote at a time when I was beginning to appreciate that I could make myself happier.”
~Lindsey Buckingham

I can appreciate the Peter Green version of The Mac, but I have ALWAYS preferred the Kirwin, Spencer and Welch doings.

And for god’s sake, Christine McVie came into her own LONG before Stevie Nookie and Lindsey Ham EVER came along.

From Chickenshack, and her solo debut (which she is said to NOT like, but I sure as shit do, the ‘Legendary Christine Perfect’ thru Kiln House, Bare Trees, Future Games, Penguin, Heroes Are Hard To Find and Mystery To Me you’ll find some FINE Christine Perfect songs.

Yes, there were MORE fine songs with the Nicks/Buckingham combo, but there was PLENTY of soulful stuff she did and wrote LONG before the Woodside, CA Twosome went south in search of fame and fortune and found The Mac waiting for them.

The Mac were in constant turmoil, each and every version of them, but they managed to put out such a VARIETY of styles from Peter Green thru the Rumors that they STILL have my heart . . . despite the pop success of Nicks/Buckingham.

Sadly, Mic Fleetwood can’t drum, without a band . . . . and Christine’s 65 now . . . but the echoes of Kirwin’s tremelo, the rip of Spencer’s slide work, the pure works of Green’s time with them, and even Bob Welch’s licks from Future Games and Sands Of Time, along with Kirwin and Spencer at times, they all stand out.

And then, there’s Christine’s Brit voicing, and bluesy sadness, and heartfelt broken hearts, all thru it . . .
Love that band, each and every version . . . even the pop stuff, at times . . *G*

Lindsey was better solo in my opinion.

Buckingham was always my favorite of the revamped Fleetwood Mac and his solo versions of the songs tend to be better, since there’s less overproduction. The harmonies with Nicks et al were nice, though.

Damn, I wish I could pick like that. His timing is almost robotically precise.
I have been hacking on a ukulele for the last 6 months, and I’m getting the strumming down a little bit, but my picking sux A$$.

Lindsey has a new solo album coming out in a couple months that’s supposed to be more rockin’ than his last one. Much as I loved his last one, I can’t wait for this one…

One little trick to playing this on guitar is to put an open (Shubb capo) across the top 5 strings leaves the low E open … don’t have to drop tune the E string.

Saw Lindsey play this song here in Toronto last spring. Was never that big a fan of the song until then. His show was probably my favorite live music experience last year.

I always thought that Buckinham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac was an American version of ABBA.

Jes’ sayin’

Ya know, the guy is a really great guitar player but should probably lay off the vocals. He sounds like Adam Sandler singing when Adam Sandler intentionally sings goofy.

I have his first 2 solo efforts post Fleetwood, and they are magnificent. He is a talent to be treasured, despite what revko thinks.

GREAT pick Nicole….
I’ve felt for a long time that this song sung by this man is one of my top tens….
