Fleetwood Mac
In the years before Fleetwood Mac became a household name, the British/American band featured a succession of blues-inspired guitar aces, and on BARE TREES, that slot is held down by Danny Kirwan. “It's a well-rounded album,” noted drummer Mick Fleetwood of the 1972 Reprise set. “Like Lindsey [Buckingham], Danny had the chops with layering techniques, and the ability to know what's right and wrong in the studio.” Kirwan also penned half of the 10 songs here, including the terrific “Dust.” Still, Christine McVie and fellow guitarist Bob Welch also contribute winners in “Spare Me a Little of Your Love” and “Sentimental Lady,” respectively. If you're curious about the music of the Mac before the Buckingham-Nicks era, the outstanding BARE TREES returns to stores next week on 180-gram black vinyl as part of the Rhino Reserve series.
