I particularly enjoyed “Blue Light,” “On the Wrong Side" and “Time.” These are testament to Buckingham’s talents as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, a contemporary of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young.īut my primary qualm is that the album lacks cohesion. It’s full of infectious hooks and the type of rolling jams that might get you through a long road trip or set the pace for your morning walk to campus. It’s not outstanding by any means, but it's definitely listenable if you are a Fleetwood Mac fan – and are more than just a fan of “Dreams” and “Landslide.” It’s a sound that’s reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac’s late '70s and early '80s work, which is a sound that Buckingham had a massive role in curating. But in Buckingham’s case, it is an album lost in the past. It’s a self-titled album, which is typically the calling card of an artist finally having the freedom to control their own music, discovering their signature sound or debuting their first collection of music. Lindsey Buckingham returned on Friday with his first solo album since being fired from Fleetwood Mac in April 2018.
