Search - Lindsey Buckingham :: Law & Order

Law upheld, order more-or-less withstanding

"Three of the five members of Fleetwood Mac from their chart-topping period--Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, and Christine McVie--have had successful careers on their own, most of all Nicks, unjustly. But I suspect Buckingham has the most talent. Case in point, "Law and Order," his debut, which dives off from the aggressive pseudomacho new wave experimentation of Buckingham's "Tusk" compositions, one track after another rife with colour, quirk, and energy, drowning in studio wizardry. If nowhere else, Buckingham is a genius in the studio: these eleven tracks are impeccably produced, so much so that it would cheapen the record if the songs weren't so good. Not that there's anything brilliant about the songs, really, not even the smooth-on-the-ears, heavy-on-the-heart "Trouble," which pierced the Top Ten (#9) in '81 (how about that?). They're just good songs with great production. In this case, that's plenty."

YEAAHH!

"Lindsey,



Thanks for a lifetime of wonderful music. When I heard ''Trouble'' again I had the opportunity to dance with my beautiful three year old daughter and share a very magical moment with her. God bless you and your family and thanks for sharing your gift with us.
