My copy of 1973's Buckingham Nicks arrived today, and after two listens through it's pretty good and about what I expected. That is to say, it is very much in the mode of the eponymous 1975 Fleetwood Mac album, but more country-ish guitar driven and of course missing all the touches the rest of Fleetwood Mac brought to that album. Fans will immediately recognize the one song that was later re-recorded by the full band, and there are a number of guitar moves that were recognizably recycled later on as well. The whole feel though is that of an early-mid 70's artifact. For example, Without A Leg To Stand On has a real Cat Stevens vibe.
Here, have a real review by a real reviewer at Louder Sound.
Hey, if you like it you like it, and I like it. After years of hearing snips and scraps of the album on various nooks of the internet, it's great to have the entire thing in hand.
