Lindsey Buckingham: The Solo Stuff

Posted Tue May 12, 2009 5:17pm PDT by Martin Dio in Maximum Performance

It's rare that one of the largest selling acts in pop history also can offer some of the most aesthetically pleasing and challenging music, but that's been the case since the mid-'70s, when successful Brit rock band Fleetwood Mac was joined by the powerhouse duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, and the rest was-as the saying goes-history.

With a series of mega-platinum albums that set worldwide sales records--including Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk and many more-the band also launched successful solo careers for both Buckingham and Nicks, who managed to record on their own and with Fleetwood Mac.

Lindsey Buckingham's solo career officially began with 1981's Law & Order and its 1984 follow-up Go Insane. Since that time,  between solo tours, Fleetwood Mac reunion albums and tours, Buckingham has continued producing top-notch material that keeps pushing creative boundaries.

Prior to releasing his most recent album Gift Of Screws, Buckingham was captured in live performance at Bass Performance Hall in Ft. Worth, Texas; that performance was eventually released last year on DVD, and the performances were eye-opening.

Check out some of the clips below and you'll see what we mean.

Lindsey Buckingham has always been a force to be reckoned with. Just listen to "Frozen Love" or "Django" from "Buckingham Nicks" (yes, I have it and yes, I love it - on vinyl, no less) to see only the beginning of this incredible talent.

Just saw "Mac" last night in San Diego and all I can say is I hope I have this much energy when I'm in my 60s! God this band kicked ass and really put on a show. God Bless 'em.
