If you had to admit to liking them, it was only by praising Peter Green. When I first got into Fleetwood Mac it was anathema. The earlier, bluesier Peter Green recordings lack the essential buzz of Buckingham. For me, the lynchpin of Fleetwood Mac wasn't original member Peter Green, who has somehow acquired the genius status of Syd Barrett or Skip Spence. Fleetwood was struck by their track Frozen Love and later invited the pair to join Fleetwood Mac, hence reinventing the band and their sound.īuckingham introduced the California sound to a struggling Fleetwood Mac and the band ran with it. It was while Olsen was pitching for a job with Mick Fleetwood that he played him the Buckingham Nicks debut. Both Buckingham and Nicks were prodigies of their producer Keith Olsen (a member of Music Machine and early production partner of Curt Boettcher).
If you've not heard the Buckingham Nicks debut release, you really should as it helped define the Pacific coast FM pop sound of Fleetwood Mac. Musical partnerships are plentiful, but iconic partnerships are not. Joe and Annie have perfectly captured the vibe of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in their pre-Fleetwood Mac days, when they were a folk-rock duo.
He included a demo of their song Lake of Fire, stating that "Fleetwood Mac is the new black". This week, I received an email from Joe Cardamone of the Icarus Line regarding a new project he has been working on with Annie Hardy from Giant Drag.
