Interesting automotive-music experience this late afternoon.. First, the entirety of Ozzy’s “Crazy Train” on the sat radio as I drove thru town. Full blast, of course. Hopefully scared some tourists. Then, as I parked the car here at home, Fleetwood Mac’s “Sara.” Same station. Go figure. I left it on, of course, and almost at …

She previously shared first song “Flowers” and has unveiled her new single “Night Moves” today.

This fun and minimalist cover (above) of Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere” came out three years ago and is still worthy of excessive celebration. And below is her most recent video which soared past 100,000 in two weeks or so. https://www.instagram.com/orlagartland/
I have written earlier of my musical autobiography charted by the technology that delivered my music. For those who missed, forgot, or ignored it, about age 12 I began listening to FM radio. In 1967 the FCC mandated that an FM broadcast could not be the simulcast of an AM broadcast, taking an FM slot away from a station who …
Dig the live sound on this clip. Miraculous. Well beyond historical norms. Dig also the relative youth of Stevie and Lindsay. Even the great ones were young once.
A million and half people have viewed this awesome cover of Fleetwwod Mac’s “Go Your Own Way” and have loved it to death. Three years ago Lissie made cover song history with her cover of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” wherein she took an eloquent hip hop declaration of independence, added tequila and her Joplinesque …
This ad is from an August 1975 issue of Billboard reminds me that although I’m long since tired of Rumours – I’ve never tired of this album, as the quote at the bottom says, “Their best album ever.” – Pat Thomas is the author of the recently released work, Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds …
I just learned that Bob Welch died and for a moment, the verdant trees of June were bare. Fleetwood Mac was an inspiration for blues purists in its formative years and, of course, blew up the pop charts in the late ’70s, but my favorite albums were the ones recorded with Welch at the helm. …
Stevie Nicks wrote “Silver Springs” for the Rumours album, but it was bumped in favor of a shorter song, an omission forming one of the few, perhaps the only, Fleetwood Mac mistake in the creation of that wildly successful album. Richard Dashut, Rumours’s engineer and co-producer, has described the song as, “The best song that …
I like what the kids have got going on here. Distorted variations on the theme of Fleetwood Mac’s “Seven Wonders”: And, in case you need a history lesson, here’s the original:

Here’s one for the iPod, Fireflies, a slightly less well known Fleetwood Mac song, one never captured in the studio. This version was recorded during a tour sound check and thrown into the mix on the long-forgotten Live (1980) album, a collection which, by the standards of the time and of live albums, was fairly …
