WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Dick Siegel's great album SNAP!

That tune has the funniest hook I've heard in a while Coz.

"...they downsized my Cadillac."

It's like John Prine meets Junior Brown. Awesome!

The first upload from the Buckingham/McVie album:

So just reading up, I gather this was supposed to be the new Fleetwood-Mac album, but apparently Stevie Nicks couldn't devote time to the project due to her own tour schedule... so rather than sit on a project already 'in the can', they're going to present it as just what it is- a collaborative work. Nice to hear John and Mick as always, but it sometimes takes me a while to process Lindsey's music. Hopefully Christine's contributions won't require as much focus.

Sometimes I just want to listen recreationally.

Geri Allen, Terri Lyne Carrington, Esperanza Spaulding (ACS) live art Scullers.  Great arrangements and a lot of creative music coming out of this trio.  Man, Esperanza can play that bass!

I really enjoyed In My World, it actually caught me by surprise, admittedly my expectations were low, the song hit high.  My wife came in from the next room and asked if she should know the singer . . .  she guessed Lindsay, when I told her about the new release she started bouncing up and down.

My first impression is that it has the classic Fleetwood Mac sound with cleaner (more modern) production, I'd like to hear the rest of the album

Yes!

Interesting observation...

I hadn't heard it as much that way, but more as an extension of "Say You Will" from '03, and this track from the more recent "Extended Play" EP. 

In the heart-of-hearts I'm a sentimental fool that's just tickled to see them still making music together. (and desperately hoping I can still contribute something at that stage in life) And I most definitely need to spend more time listening to the pre-1974 iterations of them, if only for the broadened lexicon.

Now, where'd I leave my copy of "Bare Trees"...?

"Classic Fleetwood Mac sound"?  It has Green & Kerwin?

Sounds okay - clean production, etc...(although the treble seems hyped up to me) but i just don't think it's that good a song. Weak hook, predictable changes, kind of nothing melody. Drums and bass, as always always always always, rock solid. I get a little tired of Lindsay's triple-every-guitar-part approach, and the vocal doubling/tripling/quadrupaling take away the intimacy. Definitely in my "meh" list. At least according to the fans replying on youtube, i'm in the minority on this.

What can I say I hear classic fleetwood mack when I listen to it, we all hear differently

[David Houck]

They were, in my view, three different groups; the Peter Green period, the Buckingham/Nicks period, and the middle period.

My two favorite Mac albums are Future Games and Bare Trees from the middle period group; and the line up on both was Kirwan, Welch, McVie, McVie, and Fleetwood.  Probably 99% of Mac songs that I listen to are from those two albums.

Here is the title cut from Future Games.  I would guess that these two albums were Danny Kirwan's must creative period.

Mick's Blues Band does quite a bit of early Fleetwood-Mac stuff... and does it well. Maybe that's how he scratches the itch.  

Think I'll just let this one play in the office today. 

*42 minutes in, Mick does a little narrative on the history of Fleetwood-Mac with band intros.

[cozmik_cowboy]

Oh man!  And I have to be at work in 15 minutes!  *%^&*

Just listened to the first tune.  Very nice!
