a friend of mine got a vinyl copy of Lindsey Buckingham’s Out Of The Cradle with a press release inside, so i thought i’d type it up and post it here. enjoy!

It’s been eight years since the release of Lindsey Buckingham’s last solo album and over four years since his departure from Fleetwood Mac, the band whose world class music bore the unmistakable stamp of Lindsey’s guitar, vocal and songwriting mastery.

While absent from the spotlight, Lindsey has hardly been resting on his laurels. For the past three years he’s been continually at work, writing, performing and, with the help of longtime collaborator Richard Dashut, producing a collection of new songs for his latest solo album.

The result is “Out Of The Cradle”. As its title suggests, these eleven new songs (along with two intriguing covers) mark a distinctive creative rebirth for the artist. Free to pursue his multidimensional muse, Lindsey has fashioned an album with a wit, accessibility and spontaneity that belie its long gestation.

At the same time, the music of “Out Of The Cradle”, like the family snapshots that adorn its cover, reveal personal and particular aspects not only of the musician, but of the man. It is, in short, a rare glimpse into the life and times of a most mercurial individual, making some of the best music of his career.

In a recent conversation, Lindsey Buckingham talked about the recording of “Out Of The Cradle”, his departure from Fleetwood Mac, the personal touch and other related subjects.

Q: What was the genesis of the music on “Out Of The Cradle”?

Lindsey: I’d been working on solo material while I was still in Fleetwood Mac, writing songs in-between albums. In fact, some of the tracks originally intended for this project, like “Big Love” and “Family Man” ended up on Tango In The Night, my last album with the band.

Q: Was the style and substance of “Out Of The Cradle” affected by your leaving Fleetwood Mac?

Lindsey: Of course. Leaving was a tough decision, after all those years, but I’d been chomping at the bit for a while. Joining a band and making music in that framework is a lesson in adapting... individual styles become folded into the group sound, which is fine; you’ve got to play ball. But you end up putting a lot of things aside. I wanted to tap into some of those potentials.

Q: Any potentials in particular?

Lindsey: My guitar playing for one. When you’re in a group situation, the guitar becomes part of a larger arrangement. I mean, Chet Adkins used to play guitar on Everly Brothers records and you never really noticed he was there... It was just a great record. My first two solo albums, “Law And Order” and “Go Insane” were much more Fairlight oriented. I didn’t want to use that as much. I wanted to play more guitar, even at the risk of being flashy and I think this record has a little more flash to it as a result. If you’ve got it, flaunt it.

Q: What precipitated your leaving Fleetwood Mac?

Lindsey: Initially it was just that I really didn’t want to tour. I wasn’t sure at fist, but as it got closer I realized that it was time for a change.

Q: What about the obligatory ‘musical differences’?

Lindsey: One of the reasons “Tusk” came out as it did was because we had done “Rumours” and I got uncomfortable trying to follow up on that. In some ways I guess you could consider “Tusk” my first solo album. At the time, a whole new wave of things started happening that were extremely interesting to me and validated a lot of feelings about where I wanted to go. There was also this on-going reaction to the phenomena of being a phenomenon. It sort of takes over from the music and that’s scary. I found myself struggling not to lose my perspective.

Q: Did “Out Of The Cradle” help you regain it?

Lindsey: I started from scratch on this album. After leaving the band I didn’t do anything for a while, just let the dust settle before I eased back into work. The writing and recording all sort of happened together. It’s like painting. You may approach the canvas with an intent, but as it takes on a life of its own, it starts giving you back some direction. Naturally I cut a lot more than I ended up using, maybe twice as much. There’ll be a lot of ‘b’ sides. I recorded it in my home studio. It was a pretty monk-like existence, but I liked the solitude.

Q: Any special reason for taking that approach?

Lindsey: It took me awhile to rediscover my solo style, to cover the ground in the way I knew I could. Initially it was suggested that different producers do different tracks, but I wasn’t comfortable with that. If I was going to do it, I might as well just jump in all the way.

Q: How did working alone compare with the interaction of a band?

Lindsey: Doing it all yourself obviously isn’t as efficient, but I don’t think I would have been confident enough to apply some of my strengths to a group situation right away. I had to go through that process to get hungry for musicians again. Now I think I’m ready to work with other people.

Q: So you could see yourself in a group situation again?

Lindsey: I’d need a group to do my stuff properly in concert, but I’d like to do something like use a whole section of guitars and a full complement of vocalists on stage..... whatever’s needed to reproduce the sound.

Q: Did you have any particular approach to the music on Out Of the Cradle?

Lindsey: My music is pretty densely packed. It’s part of a style I’ve developed, but I think I’m backing away from that a little bit, especially as my guitar playing covers more ground. I once read an interview with Hershfeld, the famous illustrator, who said his best caricatures are the ones that capture the whole personality in one continuous line. That is sort of what I’m after, too. I like thinking visually of the various musical parts and how they fit together. It’s like a jigsaw.

Q: How did the album take shape?

Lindsey: We’d record material and things would get to a certain stage and you’d know that maybe that one wasn’t going to make it. Or you put something in a closet and dust it off a few months later and try it again. Richard Dashut was involved almost daily, engineering. I also engineered, but neither of us are that technically oriented. So we recorded the way we knew how, with virtually everything out in mono.

Q: Were there any distinct musical reference points to the album?

Lindsey: Part of making this album was in re-discovering music that seemed to be coming into its own again. I’m thinking of people like Natalie Cole, the great Tin Pan Alley writings or someone like Harry Connick, who’s completely bypassed R&B. There seems to be a new audience for that kind of music, which I’ve always loved. So you gather things that interest you and you put them into an equation. It’s not that you want to be literal with those reference points. My interpretation of those influences comes out in songs off the album like ‘Soul Drifter’ or ‘Surrender The Rain’. Those are the ones my Mom likes. ‘Streets Of Dreams’ is another example of taking different older references and trying to do something new, something weird with them. I mean, you could hear Billie Holiday singing something of the sort.

Q: What was the notion behind the spoken intro to ‘Surrender The Rain’?

Lindsey: I’m sure that’s about me, trying to process some of the finer emotional points of what I’ve been through recently. I look at it as trying to expand the form. An album doesn’t necessarily have to be six cuts on side one with two second spaces between them.

Q: Is there a lyric point of view to the album?

Lindsey: When I was writing these songs they came from a very personal world, but as they emerged I begin to see that many of them could be taken in more than one way. I’d like to leave it like that, to give people the freedom to get whatever they can out of the songs.

Q: What was it about ‘All My Sorrows’ that made you want to include it on the album?

Lindsey: ‘All My Sorrows’ is a true folk song that I first heard the Kingston Trio do. I just took the basic scheme and changed the melody, the harmonies and the chords. I was just after a different feel... something along the lines of ‘The Third Man Theme’. I wanted also to give a nod to Dave Guard of the Kingston Trio, who died last year. Again, a personal thing.

Q: Was putting on an instrumental version of ‘This Nearly Was Mine’ a personal thing also?

Lindsey: I was walking the thin lounge line there. Most people wouldn’t have chosen to do something like that. Or, I think, the guitar style to pull it off. The soundtrack to ‘South Pacific’ was one of the first albums I ever heard, when I was maybe three. It’s stayed in my heart all these years. It was my father’s favorite song, so, yes, I guess it is personal. There’s an element of family to this record, with a lot of it coming from my personal history. I think it was important for me to get that out in the open.

Q: What’s your feeling about the state of popular music these days?

Lindsey: I watch MTV, so I’m in touch with the commercial side of things, I guess. Whether I personally like it or not, I can understand why the stuff that’s popular now is out there and doing well. Aside from whatever social and political reasons there may be for something like rap, I can see why kids, black and white, think that it’s fresh for not having melody. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s logical. I can remember driving around my neighborhood playing “Revolver” and my Mom not getting it. Your reference points change.

Q: How does it feel to have completed a project so long in the making?

Lindsey: Great. I’ve spent three years relying pretty much on my own judgment and now I think I’m ready to find out what someone else thinks about it all.

The Vinyl of the Day is ‘Rumours’ by Fleetwood Mac, 1977. I completely missed that February 4 was the 40th anniversary of the album’s release, so here’s a one day belated recognition!

Fleetwood Mac had been a fairly successful band for years with their original lineup, but after Bob Welch left for a solo career it was the addition of Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham that really created a creative spark that lifted the band to a whole new level. The first record with the new lineup was ‘Fleetwood Mac’, and it was a huge hit on it’s own - but then ‘Rumours’ became a worldwide sensation and turned them into a megagroup, becoming one of the greatest hit records of all-time. The recording and history of the album makes a long story on it’s own, with the band having enormous personal problems at the time on a Beatles-esque scale - the McVies had just gone through a horribly messy divorce, Nicks and Buckingham were in a tempestuous on/off relationship, and even Mick Fleetwood had just found out his wife had an affair with his best friend. But even the band members eventually felt that all this drama and angst brought out their best music, and helped inspire this once-in-a-lifetime collection of masterpieces. The Mac went on to record many other albums, and Stevie Nicks has had a giant solo career, but ‘Rumours’ is their pinnacle of work, and what they’ll all be remembered for.

From Wikipedia;

Rumours is the eleventh studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Largely recorded in California during 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut and was released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros. Records. The record reached the top of both the United States Billboard chart and the United Kingdom Albums Chart. The songs “Go Your Own Way”, “Dreams”, “Don’t Stop”, and “You Make Loving Fun” were released as singles. Rumours is Fleetwood Mac’s most successful release; along with winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978, the album has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Rumours has received diamond certifications in several countries, including the US, Canada, and Australia.

The band wanted to expand on the commercial success of the 1975 album Fleetwood Mac, but struggled with relationship breakups before recording started. The Rumours studio sessions were marked by hedonistic behaviour and interpersonal strife among Fleetwood Mac members; these experiences shaped the album’s lyrics. Influenced by pop music, the record’s tracks were recorded using a combination of acoustic and electric instruments. The mixing process delayed the completion of Rumours, but was finished by the end of 1976. Following the album’s release in 1977, Fleetwood Mac undertook worldwide promotional tours.

Rumours garnered widespread critical acclaim. Praise centred on its production quality and harmonies, which frequently relied on the interplay among three vocalists. The record has inspired the work of musical acts in different genres. Often considered Fleetwood Mac’s best release, it has featured in several publications’ lists of the best albums of the 1970s and the best albums of all time.

Rumours has been acclaimed by music critics since its release. Robert Christgau, reviewing in The Village Voice, gave the album an “A” and described it as “more consistent and more eccentric” than its predecessor. He added that it “jumps right out of the speakers at you”. Rolling Stone magazine’s John Swenson believed the interplay among the three vocalists was one of the album’s most pleasing elements; he stated, “Despite the interminable delay in finishing the record, Rumours proves that the success of Fleetwood Mac was no fluke.”

In a retrospective review, AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave Rumours five stars and noted that, regardless of the voyeuristic element, the record was “an unparalleled blockbuster” because of the music’s quality; he concluded, “Each tune, each phrase regains its raw, immediate emotional power—which is why Rumours touched a nerve upon its 1977 release, and has since transcended its era to be one of the greatest, most compelling pop albums of all time.” According to Slant Magazine’s Barry Walsh, Fleetwood Mac drew on romantic dysfunction and personal turmoil to create a timeless, five-star record, while Andy Gill of The Independent claimed it “represents, along with The Eagles Greatest Hits, the high-water mark of America’s Seventies rock-culture expansion, the quintessence of a counter-cultural mindset lured into coke-fuelled hedonism”. In 2007, BBC’s Daryl Easlea labelled the sonic results as “near perfect”, “like a thousand angels kissing you sweetly on the forehead”, while Patrick McKay of Stylus Magazine wrote, “What distinguishes Rumours—what makes it art—is the contradiction between its cheerful surface and its anguished heart. Here is a radio-friendly record about anger, recrimination, and loss.”

New Post has been published on https://universeinform.com/2017/03/15/mac-whirl-lipstick-is-the-shade-your-makeup-bag-needs/

MAC Whirl Lipstick Is the Shade Your Makeup Bag Needs

The color: A matte dirty rose.

The backstory: Globally, MAC sells one lipstick each 2d, and of loads of sun shades available, Whirl is one of the most famous. After launching in 2015, it has become the second one-great-promoting shade—with Ruby Woo on the wide variety one spot.

Why professionals find it irresistible: “Whirl is a ton of crimson that would obviously arise in a truthful to medium-darkish pores and skin tone,” says MAC senior artist Regan Rabanal. “It is nearly like a purple latte. The lipstick works for anyone because of its depth and likeness to hues that naturally arise inside the skin. When used on deeper skin tones, it turns to a lighter neutral, purple color. ”

Amusing truth: The lip pencil version of Whirl is a Jenner circle of relatives favorite. In 2016, Kylie revealed that It’s one in every of her pass to lip liner sunglasses; in advance this yr, Caitlyn Jenner covered it in her second MAC series.

What our testers notion: Suki: “An exceptional ordinary colour—it lasts a clearly long time, and it fits my pores and skin tone actually properly.” Concord: “This almost suggests up as a nude tone in opposition to my skin, so I truly appreciate the subtlety of the coloration.

All around, It is a first-rate nude coloration with only a trace of shade to make it greater-special.” Sophia: “I like this color on my light pores and skin. It is an easy-to-put-on neutral that can be worn every day without feeling too dressed up. Once in a while shades like this could look a chunk too ’90s and gray, but this one has a nice warm undertone that softens the coloration. It can be gently dabbed on for a hint of coloration or fully applied for a stronger appearance.”

Recording Fleetwood Mac’s “Tusk”: The largest Recording Studio Ever

The title track to Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 album “Tusk” improved from a brief fragment of the song into a Goliath that wished a baseball stadium to report.

The tune itself started as nothing extra than a brief 4-bar riff that Lindsey Buckingham had invented for Fleetwood Mac to play even as they had been being introduced after the band had gone onstage and the lighting had long past down but before they started their starting variety. The riff doubled as an immediate sound take a look at in order that manufacturer Richard Dashut ought to set volume degrees right immediately. At Mick Fleetwood’s request, Dashut prepared a twenty-2nd tape loop of the riff.

The inspiration for the tune definitely got here from Barfleur, a seacoast village in Normandy in northwest France that Mick Fleetwood had visited the preceding summer season in 1978. One Sunday morning he became woken up (at the same time as laid low with an extreme hangover) through joyous tune a nearby village brass band was playing as a part of a pageant honoring a neighborhood saint. Fleetwood threw open his home windows and saw all people in the metropolis from children to vintage peasants decked out in vegetation and celebrating. Recalling this incident Fleetwood was moved to recreate this song on top of their “riff”.

The best problem turned into wherein to locate both a marching band and a recording studio that had been massive sufficient. Fleetwood, in an in shape of hubris, proposed the use of Dodger Stadium. He becomes in success: Judy Wong, a longtime pal of the band, knew someone there. The role of the village band could, in the end, be played through AmericaC.’s Trojan Marching Band. The cease result turned into that some weeks later the song was recorded at no less than an empty Dodger Stadium, web hosting Fleetwood Mac, a film team and the largest wide variety of musicians ever to carry out on a single up till that point, setting a report.

Because of “Tusk”, the album, went platinum the Trojan Marching Band earned a platinum disc. Fleetwood, Buckingham, and Nicks supplied it to them on October four, 1980 all through a sport at the l. A. Memorial Coliseum. The stands were now not empty this time.

If you watch the video you’ll additionally see Stevie Nicks demonstrating her little-known baton twirling competencies. you may additionally see only four of the five individuals of the band. It’s Because John McVie had already performed his bass part of the track and set out with some buddies on a boat certain for Hawaii (his “role” might be provided by using a lifestyles-sized cardboard cut-out). McVie in all likelihood wished that he had stayed in L. A. on account that his boat was rammed by means of a whale on its manner from Hawaii to Tahiti.

Fleetwood Mac’s “Tusk” turned into considered a “failure” through Warner Brothers, even though it offered 4 hundreds of thousands of copies. some failure! The album is a wealthy college which, as some distance as I’m involved, become worth every nickel of the $a million plus it took to create.
