Press Mentions on Fleetwood Mac Releasing a New CD After Current Tour

Well someone is planting the seeds for Fleetwood Mac to release a new album after this tour is over.  The Euro press is going gaga over (not Lady Ga Ga), but over the fact that Stevie mentioned they will be meeting in January to decide what to do next as a band. Whether it's the press picking up on what she said and running with it, or it was planted by their publicists, who knows... But I'm glad someone is paying attention to this - maybe it will send a signal that YES, we would like to see a new album from these guys!

Some of the press mentions:

Fleetwood Mac are planning to release a new album.

The legendary band – who kick off their ‘Unleashed’ tour in Glasgow, Scotland, next Thursday – want to go back into the studio next year to start work on their first LP of original material since 2003’s ‘Say You Will’.

Singer Stevie Nicks says fans have a lot more to look forward to from the band, but say they can only start recording when they complete their dates.

She said: “When we're on the road, we barely have time to go and have a meal, let alone write new material. But in January we'll have a meeting and decide what to do.”

The legendary singer also claims the band – who were notorious hellraisers during their 70s peak – have finally grown-up and are having a great time on the road.

She added: "Fleetwood Mac still presents some amazing opportunities. Around thirty years ago, we were all so self-absorbed that we couldn't see out of our own corner. Things are a lot more fun now."

(REVIEW) ROTTERDAM - Duo nog altijd bepalend voor Fleetwood Mac

Duo nog altijd bepalend voor Fleetwood Mac
MUZIEK, Gijsbert Kamer
De Volkskrant

ROTTERDAM - De afgelopen dertig jaar was Fleetwood Mac diverse malen in Nederland, maar een bezetting met zowel de Britse oprichters Mick Fleetwood en John McVie als het Amerikaanse duo Lindsey Buckingham en Stevie Nicks dat de groepssound midden jaren zeventig compleet zou veranderen, stond hier sinds 1980 niet meer op het podium. Van het vijftal dat in 1977 met Rumours een van de best verkochte popalbums ooit uitbracht, was donderdag in een uitverkocht Ahoy alleen Christine McVie er niet bij.

Drummer Fleetwood en bassist McVie spelen al meer dan veertig jaar in Fleetwood Mac, maar hoe sympathiek de aloude bluesrocker Oh Well (1969) ook klonk, het was het enige moment dat het publiek herinnerd werd aan de periode voor de komst van Nicks en Buckingham. Het waren hun liedjes, en enkele van de gewezen toetseniste, die centraal stonden – en dan vooral het nog altijd prachtige werk uit de jaren zeventig, dat nog niets aan relevantie heeft verloren.

Fleetwood Mac was ook niet gekomen om nieuw werk te presenteren, verduidelijkte Buckingham, maar ‘to have fun’. Lol straalde de band zeker uit. Van de spanningen die jarenlang een van de leukste soaps uit de rock ’n’ roll opleverden, was weinig meer te merken. Zangeres Stevie Nicks stond weliswaar veel verder van haar ex Buckingham vandaan dan de slimme montage op de videoschermen suggereerde, maar het was duidelijk dat het stel er weer echt zin in had.

Dreams klonk goed, de hoge toon in Rhiannon haalde Nicks helaas niet meer. Wel zong ze een prachtige Sara en leverde ze met Landslide een van de hoogtepunten. Tussen deze Nicks-liedjes speelde Buckingham in zijn eentje op akoestische gitaar een versie van Big Love die het origineel uit 1987 overtrof.

Deze drie nummers bewezen hoe bijzonder de kwaliteiten van dit duo nog altijd zijn, en het was aardig dat ze elkaar na afloop van Sara toch even omhelsden.

De andere bandleden werden in een bijrol gedrongen. De wat stevigere rockers als Second Hand News en Go Your Own Way klonken goed, maar ook wat gewoner. Het bandgeluid was met drie achtergrondzangeressen ook wat anoniem. De in eenzelfde zwart vestje gestoken Fleetwood en McVie, toch de ritmetandem van het eerste uur, lieten zich hun bijrol als begeleiders welgevallen.

Misschien was dat maar goed ook. Twee sterke blikvangers als een prachtig spelende Buckingham en een Nicks die ook nog twee keer kans zag zich in een andere jurk te hijsen, is genoeg. Die twee hebben het nog altijd samen.

DUST OFF YOUR BLACK CHIFFON - STEVIE NICKS IS BACK (PROMPTS NEO-GOTH REVIVAL)

Dust off your black chiffon

Stevie Nicks is back

Will Fleetwood Mac’s return prompt a neo-gothic revival?

The news of Fleetwood Mac’s most recent comeback will have sent Stevie Nicks fans scurrying to wipe the dust off their ‘Rumours’ LP and to scour attics and garages for a trace of still-wearable black chiffon.

Nicks was the ultimate flower-child/rock-fairy. She wafted like some Gothic ‘witch-ling’, wreathed in wisps of black chiffon; all handkerchief hems ,‘angel wings’, Victoriana, smokey eyes and tousled blonde hair. Her fey, ‘bad fairy’ image was matched by a drugs habit, and a love life that would send Relate into a frenzy . But this has only enhanced her appeal as one of rock ‘n’ roll’s more enduring style icons.

Fleetwood Mac’s latest return, for the first time in six years, coincides with this season’s fresh take on black. From punk to goth, from studded leather to diaphanous chiffon, all the rock chick’s favourite bits of gear are available at every price level from designer to high street.

Designers such as John Galliano, and Riccardo Tisci, at Givenchy, both included sheer, black chiffon in their autumn/winter collections, variously draped with medieval silver belts or netting. Other brands, such as Future Classics, Stella McCartney and Erin Fetherstone, have worked the theme as a glam-goth vibe, in lace, tulle and silk, while the new, young designer Qasimi has created a spooky-chic version of Cruella de Vil, in black satin and beaded net. Kate Moss - a Stevie Nicks’ lookalike, in many respects - has included several rock-fairy pieces in her latest collection for Topshop, including a triangle-studded, black chiffon kaftan, and a forest-green, ‘butterfly’ dress, with asymmetric hem and flared sleeves.

Miss Selfridge, River Island, Wallis and Dorothy Perkins, as well as asos.com, are also great hunting grounds for the Stevie Nicks’ look. at prices which compare favourably with the first time the singer first registered as a blip on fashion’s radar nearly four decades ago.
