Lindsey Buckingham


Just a heads up: I just played "Gift of Screws" the new L.B. cd. Off a first listen, this might be his best, yet -including "Rumors". Sound is typical for LB, carefully recorded, but not necessarily "natural" in an audiophile kinda way, At least his solos are forward in the mix. If you're a fan, don't miss this!

Marty, I this disc up yesterday and having listened to it twice now, I agree that this is a great release. I've always been a big fan of Lindsey's songwriting and guitar playing and this is some of his best work ever. He's really turned loose his guitar prowess on this release to great effect. His right hand technique would make a Flamenco master proud, extremely assured rhythm and timing. It did induce a bit of nostalgia, as I could imagine how several of these songs would sound with Christine, John, and Stevie adding their touches. Fans of Lindsey and the Mac should do themselves a favor a get this one.
Thanks for the recommendations, guys. I'm also a fan and think he is one greatly under-appreciated guitarist. I have his last release, which he recorded at home and on which he did most of the parts himself. There's some great music on it, but the recording, particularly the processing on his voice, makes it practically unlistenable, even in the car. This one's better?

He needs to be kidnapped and reprogrammed at Camp Audiophile. :-)
Will have to check it out. LB is a unique talent, a great guitarist, and a great performer overall when he's on his game.
