Reviews: Lindsey Buckingham Cuts Loose

Lindsey Buckingham Cuts Loose
By Michael Rampa June 18th,

Lindsey Buckingham
Homestead, PA, Carnegie Library Music Hall, Friday June 15

With no new album to promote, Lindsey Buckingham doesn’t really need to tour. Heck, he doesn’t even need a band. His unique finger picking technique allows him to plays bass lines with his thumb while playing the melody with his fingers. The result is a one man wall of sound that overmatches the intimate venues he plays. This time around, he has no accompaniment, even the stagehands exchanging his guitars are out of view. He acknowledged the downsizing over his career, from the heyday of supergroup Fleetwood Mac to carrying only 3-4 members in his early solo career and culminating in this year’s one man show. “This tour I call the ‘Small Machine’” It allows for more creative freedom and risk taking. Obviously, Fleetwood Mac was a juggernaut and creative in a different way.”

Our Take

I can't remember how long it has been since I last went to a seated show, but it is always nice to be able to sit and be able to focus entirely on what is happening onstage. This time around I was seeing Lindsey Buckingham, who most people are familiar with from his work with Fleetwood Mac. But Buckingham has also established himself as a talented solo artist capable of creating interesting material without the assistance of a full band. His progression has taken numerous steps, first touring with a large crew of backing musicians and on this most recent set of dates opting to perform without any support. His set at the Howard Theatre in Washington D.C. lasted for about an hour and fifteen minutes after a two song encore, and while this may have been one of the first times he was letting his guitar and vocal work stand on its own Buckingham showcased that he was well prepared.

Album to be released August 14th.  Released through Starbucks Label Hear Music/Concord.  Album is titled "Just Tell Me That you Want Me". The album was produced by Randall Poster and Gelya Robb, who also handled the recent Buddy Holly Tribute album Rave On...

Each artist was given free license to interpret the songs in their own way, which I think is kind of cool!

Audio: Stevie Nicks Confirms.. This year is all about In Your Dreams - 2013 all about Fleetwood Mac


Stevie Nicks says Fleetwood Mac will tour in 2013. When asked about the tour while on the red carpet for the Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony, Nicks said “It absolutely is, yes. I am taking the rest of this year for my In Your Dreams record that I love so much. And then 2013 is the Fleetwood Mac tour.” She said rehearsals will begin in January. When asked about a new Fleetwood Mac album, though, she didn’t respond, leading fans to speculate that the tour will focus on the band’s four decades of classic material.

(Video) 1st Week UK Sales for Fleetwood Mac's 4 Disc Box Set "25 Years The Chain"

20 years after its original release, Fleetwood Mac’s 25 Years: The Chain debuts at number nine (13,165 sales) in the UK. The clue to its age is in the title. Fleetwood Mac's recording career started in 1967, and 25 Years: The Chain is a 4CD set of hits, album tracks, alternate takes and rare mixes that was first issued to mark those 25 years in 1992 but failed to chart. Its re-promotion comes at a more affordable price point: originally retailing for around £40, it is now widely available for around £12, and was advertised on TV last week as a Father’s Day gift.

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM: Pop star shines alone on stage





Concert Review:
Lindsey Buckingham Live in Columbus, OH June 16, 2012 - Southern Theatre
By  Curtis Schieber
The Columbus Dispatch

Encore set included "Rock Away Blind"

"Lindsey Buckingham performed surely the loudest one-man show ever in the Southern Theatre last night, even when he wasn’t belting out a song. The slavish crowd lapped it up, encouraging him often to ignore the dynamics in his brilliantly crafted songs. Oddly, the three songs of the encore were the most intimate of the evening."

Concert Review:
Lindsey Buckingham impresses Columbus with one-man show

By Lindsey Barrett
The Lantern

Before heading back to his home state of California, singer, guitarist and songwriter Lindsey Buckingham made a tour stop in downtown Columbus for a one-man show that while in some ways understated, was no less impressive.




"Buckingham proved Saturday night that, alone on stage with a guitar in hand and the more folksy sounds of Fleetwood Mac with the more modern songs of his solo career, he had all he needed to entertain the crowd."
