Lindsey Buckingham


Just a heads up: I just played "Gift of Screws" the new L.B. cd. Off a first listen, this might be his best, yet -including "Rumors". Sound is typical for LB, carefully recorded, but not necessarily "natural" in an audiophile kinda way, At least his solos are forward in the mix. If you're a fan, don't miss this!

Marty, I this disc up yesterday and having listened to it twice now, I agree that this is a great release. I've always been a big fan of Lindsey's songwriting and guitar playing and this is some of his best work ever. He's really turned loose his guitar prowess on this release to great effect. His right hand technique would make a Flamenco master proud, extremely assured rhythm and timing. It did induce a bit of nostalgia, as I could imagine how several of these songs would sound with Christine, John, and Stevie adding their touches. Fans of Lindsey and the Mac should do themselves a favor a get this one.
Marty, I'd agree with you regarding sound quality. Can't say I found the bass lacking, just Lindsey's preference for upper mid-range exaggeration. Perhaps his hearing has been affected by too much exposure to high db concerts. BTW, if you get a chance to see it, the Music in High Def channel has a really good Fleetwood Mac (sans Christine) reunion concert airing now. Lindsey is in stellar guitar form and Stevie'd voice sounds pretty good too.
