Says Buckingham of the meaning of the single, “‘I Don’t Mind,’ like many of the songs on my new album, is about the challenges couples face in long-term relationships.” He continues, “Over time, two people inevitably find the need to augment their initial dynamic with one of flexibility, an acceptance of each others’ flaws and a willingness to continually work on issues it is the essence of a good long term relationship. A limited-edition blue vinyl version is also available for pre-order via Pre-order Lindsey Buckingham HERE. Written, produced and recorded by Buckingham at his home studio in Los Angeles, CA, the album will be released via vinyl, CD and on all digital and streaming services. As with the seven studio and three live albums he has released as a solo artist beginning with 1981’s Law and Order, the new project showcases Buckingham’s instinct for melody and his singular fingerpicking guitar style, reaffirming his status as one of the most inventive and electrifying musicians of his generation. Today, Lindsey Buckingham has announced his forthcoming self-titled LP due out Septemon Reprise, alongside the first single, “I Don’t Mind.” Lindsey Buckingham is his first solo release since 2011’s Seeds We Sow and follows his departure from Fleetwood Mac. I’m proud of the life choices I’ve made, and it seems a shame for him to pass judgment on anyone who makes a choice to live their life on their own terms, even if it looks differently from what his life choices have been.” Those are my decisions that I get to make for myself. And after many lengthy group discussions, Fleetwood Mac, a band whose legacy is rooted in evolution and change, found a new path forward with two hugely talented new members.įurther to that, as for a comment on “family” - I was thrilled for Lindsey when he had children, but I wasn’t interested in making those same life choices.
I have championed independence my whole life, and I believe every human being should have the absolute freedom to set their boundaries of what they can and cannot work with. If the band went on without me, so be it. I proactively removed myself from the band and a situation I considered to be toxic to my well-being. To be exceedingly clear, I did not have him fired, I did not ask for him to be fired, I did not demand he be fired. I could publicly reflect on the many reasons why, and perhaps I will do that someday in a memoir, but suffice it to say we could start in 1968 and work up to 2018 with a litany of very precise reasons why I will not work with him. Following an exceedingly difficult time with Lindsey at MusiCares in New York, in 2018, I decided for myself that I was no longer willing to work with him.
They finally found it in two young musicians, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.“It’s unfortunate that Lindsey has chosen to tell a revisionist history of what transpired in 2018 with Fleetwood Mac,” Nicks wrote to “Rolling Stone.” “His version of events is factually inaccurate, and while I’ve never spoken publicly on the matter, preferring to not air dirty laundry, certainly it feels the time has come to shine a light on the truth. Frantic to find stable, talented musicians who could bring their skills to the table, Fleetwood Mac began looking around for more players to complete their dysfunctional family. More trouble was to come, though: Bob Welch, a band member since 1971, could no longer handle the long hours or his budding drinking problem, and quit in late 1974. In the end, the real Fleetwod Mac retained all rights to their name. Mick Fleetwood, however, managed to get Davis' band banned from performing or collecting any royalties. Using all new musicians, Davis attempted to take the pseudo-Mac on tour, reported the Washington Post. Because this occurred in the U.S., the real Fleetwood Mac had to move to America to fight Davis in court.Īn article on WOGB states the band had a total of only $2,700 when they arrived in the U.S. This fake wannabe was the brainchild of the original group's manager, Clifford Davis, who claimed rights to the name in 1974. Complicating matters was another band also calling itself Fleetwood Mac.
