Album of the Day

Born on this day in 1949, Lindsey Buckingham has earned acclaim for his adventurous work as a singer-songwriter and unrivaled savvy as a producer. Under his direction, Fleetwood Mac became one of the best-selling and most beloved rock groups of all time and as a solo artist, Buckingham is a master of complex, inventive arrangements and often plays nearly every instrument himself. His 2021 self-titled LP on Reprise is a welcome display of Buckingham’s instantly recognizable guitar work and vocal layering, particularly on songs such as “Power Down,” “Scream,” “Swan Song” and lead single “I Don’t Mind.” “I wanted to make a pop album, but I also wanted to make stops along the way with songs that resemble art more than pop,” notes the performer, and LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM reaffirms his status as a musical visionary.
