This year, heavy people flock together. Clapton and Steve Winwood join up in Blind Faith. Steve Marriott and Pete Frampton meet in Humble Pie. Crosby, Stills and Nash admit a new member, Neil Young.

  • A Band Together. but Who Knew We'd Find As Durable an Application Of
    o R M D EVERY MUSICIAN KNOWS IT’s THE RHYTHM SECTION THAT HOLDS a band together. But who knew we’d find as durable an application of that maxim as the one exemplified by the history of Fleetwood Mac? & Over the last thirty years, Fleetwood Mac has comprised fifteen musicians shuffled through six major lineups, resulting in endless tin- kerings with tone and genre. Yet the two members to survive it all rarely write tunes and never front the recordings. They’re the beat- keepers - drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John Me Vie. The fact that a rhythm section could sustain a band through thirty years seems all the more amazing considering the traumatic histories of the band’s shifting array o f stage-front stars. Together, their personal lives have given rock one of its most elaborate and juicy plotlines.

  • Lindsey Buckingham Släpper Nytt Soloalbum
    2008-09-11 08:30 CEST Lindsey Buckingham släpper nytt soloalbum Lindsey Buckingham släpper sitt femte soloalbum i ordningen 17 september 2008 på Reprise Records. Albumet har döpts till Gift of Screws. Gift of Screws förenar den bredd Lindsey Buckingham visade som den huvudsakliga musikaliska kraften bakom Fleetwood Mac och den rastlösa, nyfikna experimentaliteten vi fann på deras milstolpar till album som Rumours och Tusk med sina egna visionära soloalbum. Här summeras Lindseys musikaliska hantverk med all glädje och möda som följt med på vägen. "Jag skulle säga att detta album filtrerar åtskilliga tidsperioder", säger Lindsey. "Det innehåller påbörjade album, sånger med flera år på nacken som tog ett tag på sig att hitta hem och helt nya låtar.Jag ville samla allt på ett ställe. Som en artist klamrar jag mig fortfarande fast, på gott och ont, vid min idealism och min känsla att det fortfarande finns mycket att säga. Detta album är summeringen av allt." Gift of Screws är ett rockigt komplement till Lindseys tidigare album, 2006 års akustiska, gitarrdrivna Under the Skin, som balanserar flerdimensionella gitarr-och-röstbegrundanden som Time Precious Time och Bel Air Rain med förföriskt flytande titellåten Under the Skin och öppningen Great Day. På vissa sätt är det också en förlängning av hans arv från Fleetwood Mac med Mick Fleetwoods och John McVies ojämförbara bidrag på flera låtar, exempelvis den omfamnande Wait for You. Lindsey Buckinghams status som virtuos gitarrist är odiskutabel sedan många år, såväl som hans uttrycksfullhet som både sångare och låtskrivare. Till stora delar skrevs Gift of Screws i Lindseys hemstudio och på ensamma hotellrum under Under the Skin-turnén (en sprakande konsertturné som dokumenterades på dvd/cd:n Live at the BassPerformance Hall som släpptes tidigare år) och har så även producerats av Lindsey själv, förutom två låtar - Wait For You och albumets titellåt - som är medproducerade av Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Jewel, Dave Matthews Band).
