Customer Reviews

Super Return of Mr Buckingham
So Lindsey finally managed to get his follow up to 1992's Out Of The Cradle recorded after being sidelined by two Fleetwood Mac projects (The Dance & Say You Will). And what a great album it is, so out of left field for Lindsey to record a predominately acoustic album, there are some priceless gems on this album from "Castaway Dreams" to "Under The Skin" and "Down On Rodeo". Can't wait for the rumoured rock influenced follow-up in 2007/08. Now all Lindsey needs to do is too extend the the magnificent solo tour to promote Under The Skin over to Europe and the UK. Overall a fantastic progression from Law and Order to Go Insane to Out Of The Cradle and now Under The Skin.

Classic
Unfortunately whenever a member of a much loved band makes a solo record there are always going to be negative reviews from those who buy the cd expecting to hear the same sound as their beloved band. Of course the reason why artists such as Mr. Buckingham make solo records is so that they can express themselves outside the confines of the band. This release is full of beautifully crafted songs delivered with interesting use of reverb and layoring of sound to create a warm and lush environment. The album is critically acclaimed for good reason. Give it a try and make your own minds up.

Anti-Commercial Songs
It is, I believe, fair to say that Lindsay has written and performed some of the greatest popular songs ever written. This, combined with his extraordinary ability as a guitar player have made him a favorite of mine for many years. (I have been a FM/LB fan for over 20 years and i'm only 40!).

Without the more 'commercial' framework of Fleetwood Mac I feel that his highly personal solo work is sometimes unfathomable and often unfulfilling for the listener. (A bit like looking at abstract art without understanding the artists motivation).

Much of the FM 'Say you Will' album was LB unrecorded work - and the cradle of the band brought out the best in his work. Under the Skin could do with a bit of that, and interestingly, the better songs are those recorded with Fleetwood and McVie.

I was lucky enough to shake Lindays hand on the 2003 'Say you will' tour at the NEC in Birmingham. An amazing night. This record is the otherside of the man and won't be to everyones taste.

In summary - Guitar playing *****, songs **, singing *.

For what it is worth, I think he should hand over more of the production and editing to someone else - someone who will bring out the best of this occasional genius.
