FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN ALMOST 15 YEARS BY FLEETWOOD
MAC
SINGER, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, ARRANGER AND GUITARIST
Fleetwood Mac front man Lindsey
Buckingham will release his first solo album in nearly fifteen
years, October 3 on Reprise Records. Entitled Under the Skin,
the album is Buckingham's third solo recording. A tour is scheduled to
start in October; dates will be announced shortly.
On Under the Skin, which Buckingham produced, he
plays virtually all of the instruments and sings all of the vocal parts,
making for an album that is simultaneously richly layered and personal and
intimate. The recording seamlessly brings together the accessibility of
Buckingham's talents for the unexpected, his knack for memorable melodies,
his virtuosic fingerstyle guitar, his singing range, and his mastery at
creating soundscapes.
Under the Skin is Buckingham's first solo album
since Out of the Cradle (1992), which The New York Times called "one of the most exquisitely textured rock albums ever made." The Times also said the album "demonstrates Mr. Buckingham's
brilliance at using the recording studio to create intricate interior
dramas in which ambiance and an allusive pop sensibility matter more than
the actual words and music." The Los Angeles Times described the
live show following that album as "triumphant."
In the time since Out of the Cradle, Buckingham
has undertaken and set aside a solo release twice for Fleetwood Mac
projects: first, for the retrospective live album The Dance (1998), and after its immense success, the platinum-certified Say You
Will (2003).
Since 1975 when he and Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac,
Buckingham has lent his unique talents as a singer, songwriter, producer
arranger and guitarist, to some of the biggest selling and most critically
acclaimed albums of all time. Rolling Stone magazine calls him
"one of rock's most undervalued visionaries." He was largely responsible
for masterminding the sound of the new Fleetwood Mac heard on Rumours,
one of the best selling albums of all time. Never content with the status
quo, Buckingham refused to settle for mere commercial excellence and
continued to push one of the most popular rock and roll bands in the world
to the cutting edge of rock/pop experimentation. The result was Tusk,
one of the most surprising and critically acclaimed albums in rock
history.
On Under the Skin,
Lindsey Buckingham continues to innovate ambitiously, though his voice and
sound are still unmistakable as his. "I have a family and with that comes
new insights and some maturity," he says. "Yet, I have continued my
experimental approach, which comes from years of work in the outer region,
distilling down to the essence. It has been a long time in between albums
and, even with the songs I contributed to Fleetwood Mac, I had a lot of
material to choose from. I am three quarters of the way towards completing
the follow up to Under the Skin. It will be very different
and I would like to get that finished next year."
