Recorded and released by the man himself, the thoroughly enjoyable Seeds We Sow feels particularly youthful. Much of this has to do with his fingerpicking and voice neither has aged all that much since he joined Fleetwood Mac back in the mid-'70s. There's something timeless about Lindsey Buckingham's musical vision. Supporting a strong new solo record, Fleetwood Mac’s male lead and fingerpicking demon of a guitarist proved that he still runs on pure raw-nerve emotion.-HS Lindsey Buckingham at the Town Hall, Sept 27 And, lucky for us, it still doesn’t.īy Marley Lynch, Sophie Harris, Hank Shteamer and Steve Smith Buckingham’s music, in a move that belied his era, didn’t settle for cheap thrills, quick answers - or something so obvious and easy as nihilism. Buckingham, for all of the things he rejects, for all of the things that piss him off and make him play the guitar in a bloody-fingered rage, was never about nothingness. Seeds We Sow was as hard eyed as it is musically ambitious. Credit Buckingham for never trading true emotion for sentiment. 3 - LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM - SEED WE SOW: You keep waiting for Lindsey Buckingham, the old rebel, to soften into middle-aged acceptance, to conform. New Orleans, Italian Summer, For What It’s Worth, Secret Love, In Your Dreams Nicks to be passed over but I’m telling you this is such a solid album that’s definitely not to be missed. It’s a beautifully crafted album that cuts straight to the heart, there’s something so comforting and soothing about her unique voice, if you haven’t checked out this release yet, please do yourself a favor and pick up a copy! Sadly in today’s youth-oriented world, it’s easy for Ms. In Your Dreams is her first studio album in almost ten years, thankfully it was well worth the extremely long wait. Stevie Nicks is a fucking legend, no one care argue with that. Her “In Your Dreams Tour,” supporting her amazing 2011 new album (her first in a decade), found the Fleetwood Mac singer taking her time, giving her band plenty of chances to shine and balancing a wealth of cuts from the new album with trademark Mac and solo hits like barnburner “Edge of Seventeen” and “Rumors”-era wonder “Gold Dust Woman.”. She doesn’t tear it up like she did in the old days, but what Stevie Nicks lacks in passion and grit, she’s made up for in pitch and finesse. 1 when Stevie Nicks was at Jiffy Lube (Nissan) and Olivia Newton-John was in Baltimore - music fans had to make tough choices. There was such an abundance of options, some evenings - like July 31 when Dolly Parton was at Wolf Trap and Britney Spears was at the Verizon Center or Sept. Washington is always a big concert town - most major tours have stops here - but this year was especially teeming with gay and gay-friendly big-name musical acts. Nicks came away with her first album in a decade and best solo outing to date. Not content to periodically reappear on tour with Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks instead found a viable creative partner with Dave Stewart and production partner Glen Ballard. While Nicks turned slower, lighter and - dare I say it, matronly - to adjust for the limitations of voice and age, Stewart barreled forward with a damn-the-torpedoes attitude that made his set far more enjoyable, faults and all. Rod Stewart/Stevie Nicks, April 5, Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia: If there's one thing Stewart and Nicks' show proved, it's that time, indeed, marches on. Small venues, classic artists make big impactġ0. If you bypassed In Your Dreams because you thought it was a disposable late period record from a 70’s relic, rethink your position and get lost in it’s dreamy sweep. The rest of the record more than lives up to the high of “Moonlight”, becoming one of the most surprisingly cool records released this year. It is wildly absurd and yet Nicks pulls it off and it becomes the record’s most memorable moment not because of its subject matter, but because of its gorgeous chorus. It’s “Moonlight (A Vampire’s Dream)” and if you’re unfamiliar, well then I’ll just say it, it’s a love song about two star crossed vampires. If you know the record already, I’m sure you can guess which track I’m talking about. In Your Dreams, Stevie Nicks‘ first truly great solo album since 1981’s Bella Donna, boasts one of the most ridiculous and simultaneously beautiful songs she’s ever sang.
