How the Music Critic Score works
Buy Buckingham Nicks from Amazon
In 2012, approaching the 40th anniversary of their debut as a duo, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham considered re-releasing the long-vaulted record. In a Q&A with Rolling Stone, conducted separately with each musician, Buckingham and Nicks explained their different plans for the self-titled album. When the interviewer informed each of them of their conflicting visions, Buckingham replied, “It’s almost like the old days, where we were having conversations through songs.
This is an album that supposedly changed the course of music history. Had Mick Fleetwood not encountered it being played on a tour of LA studios in late 1974 scouting out his next possible recording venue, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham would never have joined forces with Fleetwood Mac. A world without Rumours? Inconceivable. So this was the golden ticket - its music can never be separated from the events that followed.
