Fleetwood Mac by Fleetwood Mac...Episode #2

About this episode

In this episode, music historians Gary Wenstrup and Robert Rodriguez dive deep into Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled 1975 album — the one that launched the band into a new era with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joining the lineup. It marked a major turning point for the band. Founding members Mick Fleetwood (drums) and John McVie (bass) remained the rhythmic heart of the group, while Christine McVie (keyboards and vocals) continued to shine as a songwriter. The addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in 1974 transformed the band’s sound, blending their California folk-rock style with the band’s British blues roots.  It’s Fleetwood Mac’s 10th album and its first to reach #1.  Gary and Robert listen, debate, and ultimately crown three songs with their gold, silver, and bronze medals.  Will it be a Stevie classic like “Rhiannon,” a Buckingham guitar masterpiece like “I’m So Afraid,” or a Christine McVie gem like “Over My Head?”  What about “Landslide?”  Tune in for a spirited discussion and plenty of love for this iconic album. #FleetwoodMac #FleetwoodMac1975 #MickFleetwood #JohnMcVie #ChristineMcVie #StevieNicks #LindseyBuckingham #ClassicRock #AlbumRankings #MusicP
