Fleetwood Mac - Madison Blues (2CD) [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Fleetwood Mac made it big twice over: first as young kings of the late 1960u2019s British blues boom u2013 blues fanatics who nonetheless made the pop charts with a batch of memorable songs penned by founder Peter Green. Then secondly, as the band that with its Rumours album Californian line-up, tapped into a whole new market in the mid-1970u2019s which became known as AOR - adult oriented rock.

rThe music here on the double CD 'Madison Blues' is from a pivotal eighteen months in Macu2019s history as it lost its original if-it-ainu2019t-blues-we-don't-wanna-know attitude and looked to its own songwriters - and Americau2019s West Coast sound - for inspiration.

rAfter Peter Greenu2019s exit in May 1970 the rest of the band bravely decided to carry on as a 4-piece, and so rented an oast house called Kiln House to try and u2018get it together in the country.

rChristine McVie joined, and one of the stand-out songs, 'Station Man', would endure for Mac in the bleak years before they moved to California in 1974 where they struck gold with their eponymous white album and then 'Rumours'. 'Station Man' eventually found its way into the live set-list of the Buckingham/Nicks line-up and listening to it again here you can hear why: in there, as far back as 1970, are some trademarks of the 'Rumours' sound: three-voice harmonies, in-song tempo changes and ringing guitar sounds. Similarly, 'The Purple Dancer' and 'Jewel Eyed Judy' showcase a vocal harmonies and melodic sense of things to come for Fleetwood Mac many miles down the line.

rChristine McVie was a crucial link in the chain, and this collection ends with a promotional session from the Christine Perfect Band with ex-Yardbird Tony u2018Topu2019 Topham and Rick Hayward on guitars, Martin Dunsford on bass and Chris Harding on drums.
