Editorial Reviews

CD Description
Over the years, Lindsey Buckingham has written some of Fleetwood Mac's best known songs, including "Go Your Own Way" and "Second Hand News". Buckingham is often seen by Mac fans as the dark, eccentric member of the group, and his first solo recording, LAW AND ORDER, does little to dispel that notion.
LAW AND ORDER makes it plain that it was Buckingham's influence that occasionally nudged the affable and accessible pop band to the outer reaches of pop peculiarity, most particularly on their oddball opus, TUSK. LAW AND ORDER includes the fine hit single, "Trouble", which features a jaw-dropping Buckingham guitar solo. (Buckingham plays nearly all of the instruments on this release, showcasing his fierce musicality throughout.) In addition to "Trouble", LAW AND ORDER also features the pop gem "Love from Here, Love from There". There are also a handful of interesting cover songs on this 11-song, 1981 release, including the country standard, "A Satisfied Mind", and Kurt Weill's "September Song".

Customer Reviews

This is a wacky album3
This was Lindsey Buckingham's first solo album. It was written just after he wrote the Fleetwood Mac album 'Tusk' and reflects Lindsey's song writing style of that time. There are songs on this album that remind you that Lindsey Buckingham does not always take himself too seriously, like 'Bwana'. However, there are some great songs on this album such as 'Trouble' and 'Shadow of the West'. This album is well worth buying if you are into Lindsey Buckingham, but he has done better.

Not his best, but still top class!4
Lindsey Buckingham's first solo album promises much, but just fails to deliver the surefire success he was achieving with Fleetwood Mac at the time. Not every track clicks - 'That's How we Do It In LA' is insane feel-good funk - but the best tracks are the ones in which Buckingham puts his heart and soul into the material. The wonderful 'Trouble' is perhaps the best track he had written at that point, featuring Mick Fleetwood guesting.
Other tracks such as 'Shadow Of The West' & 'It Was I' are examples of well crafted pop, and 'Mary Lee Jones' is a slice of instant Californian cool. While 'Out Of The Cradle' ranks as his best solo effort to date, this is an album that should be discovered.
