Lindsey Buckingham
All Music Guide
Before he joined Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham was sketching out his brand of Brian Wilson-influenced pop with Stevie Nicks in the folky duo Buckingham Nicks. Mick Fleetwood invited the duo to join his band in late 1974. After Buckingham joined, the bands pop tendencies flowered under his direction. Not only did he provide the group with some brilliant, surprisingly dark pop songs, he sharpened the other members songs with his production, arrangements, and breathtaking guitar playing. Buckingham left the band after their 1987 album, Tango in the Night, to concentrate on his solo recordings, work that had thus far included 1981s Law and Order and 1984s Go Insane. Out of the Cradle arrived in 1992, followed by the slow but ultimately rewarding reunion of Fleetwood Mac in the late 90s. Buckingham then released Under the Skin in 2006.

While Buckinghams solo albums are deceptively simple and calm on the surface, there are complex arrangements and emotions beneath the smooth production. None of them has sold anything approaching the level of Rumours -- or even Tango in the Night -- yet they are rich, layered pop albums; his first solo record, Law and Order, had a hit single with Trouble, while his contribution to National Lampoons Vacation, the infectious Holiday Road, has become a cult classic.
