With the recent news of Fleetwood Mac's upcoming 2013 tour comes yet another wave of questions regarding the possibility of keyboardist Christine McVie ever rejoining the band -- and forcing Lindsey Buckingham to tell us, once again, that it's probably never going to happen.
During discussions about their upcoming 2013 tour, the members of Fleetwood Mac huddled into Lindsey Buckingham's home studio to cut three new songs, but Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks don't seem to agree on if they'll be part of a full album.
Over the last 30 years or so, Fleetwood Mac fans have grown accustomed to long waits between studio albums -- but if recent statements made by Lindsey Buckingham are accurate, the band could end its nearly 10-year recording drought in the not-too-distant future.
The history of Fleetwood Mac is far more interesting than most may be aware. The roots of the band began deep in the blues, and the role call of band members is a story in itself. Jeremy Spencer was one of the group's guitarists from their formation in 1967 through 1971, playing on such albums as 'Mr. Wonderful,' 'Kiln House' and the classic 'Then Play On.'
Add Fleetwood Mac to the long list of rock veterans who will be back on the road next year, proving once again that classic rock may never die. The band last toured three years ago (playing a show in Rochester, not Buffalo – so we can only hope) and is gearing up for a new tour early in 2013.
Best Coast must be in a Fleetwood Mac state of mind these days — fresh off covering ‘Rhiannon’ for an upcoming tribute album, the band appeared on ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ to perform one of the Mac’s greatest hits.
The Fleetwood Mac tribute album, ‘Just Tell Me That You Want Me: Tribute to Fleetwood Mac,’ is turning out to be quite a collection. On the classic rock side, the cover of ‘Oh Well‘ from ZZ Top bearded wonder Billy Gibbons received mostly good reviews. Now a trio of indie rockers have leaked their tracks as well.
Few classic albums in rock history have as famous a backstory as Fleetwood Mac‘s 1977 album, ‘Rumours.’ Ken Caillat, who co-produced the album with the band and Richard Dashut, has written a book, ‘Making ‘Rumours:’ The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album,’ designed to clear up some of the, well, rumors about what took place during the sessions for the album.
It looks like Miley Cyrus was serious when she decided to name her latest run of concerts the Gypsy Heart Tour — during a recent Australian show, she pulled out a classic by rock’s reigning gypsy, Stevie Nicks.
During a set list that also included covers of Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ and Poison’s ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn’ (she recorded the latter for her most recent release, 2010′s ‘Can’t Be Tamed’), Cyrus slowed things down for ‘Landslide,’ an oft-covered hit from Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 self-titled album.
We have been waiting 10 years for a new Stevie Nicks album so we could feature her in Jack FM's Artist Spotlight! Not only does she have amazing classics with Fleetwood Mac, her solo career wasn't half bad either
