Rumours is always cited as the crowning achievement of Fleetwood Mac, but I have a different opinion. Two years prior to Rumours, the Mac was almost over. Coming off of what was probably their worst album (Heroes Are Hard To Find) and reeling from the departure of guitarist Bob Welch, they stumbled upon the unknown duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who had one so-so album under their belts. This album propelled them to the top and set the stage for the massive success of Rumours. But don’t kid yourself that this effort was any less great. It’s always lived in the shadow of Rumours, but the reality is that it’s just as good. I might even be a bit better. This set of songs is a band discovering that they had (at least for a couple of albums) the ability to create real magic together. The addition of Buckingham and Nicks lifted Christine McVie to another level as well, and the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie found new life with the suddenly improved songwriting. And while Rumours was recorded amid turmoil, Fleetwood Mac was made more in celebration.

“Monday Morning” is a powerhouse opener. After that, the hits start rolling in, mostly from McVie and Nicks…and even a cover (“Blue Letter”). “Rhiannon” solidified Nicks as a mystical character, and the one holdover from Buckingham Nicks (“Crystal”) was sung by Buckingham but written by Nicks. McVie’s “Say You Love Me” is augmented by Buckingham’s nice banjo work, and “Over My Head” contains some of Lindsey’s greatest and magical guitar work. “Landslide” is one of Nicks’ prettiest songs. And then Buckingham, who really carries it all, takes over at the end. “World Turning” is maybe the best Mac song ever, and his “I’m So Afraid” may be their most underrated tune. Fleetwood Mac is a rare album with zero filler and exceptional work from everyone involved…each member shines in their newfound good fortune. Rumours sold a gazillion more units, and had the bigger hits. But, song for song, Fleetwood Mac (or The White Album, as it was called) is just as good, just as strong, and just as worthy of celebration and praise.
