Usually in albums prior to that, Buckingham would have held the lion’s share of any songwriting credits and usually had the most tracks on Fleetwood Mac albums, albeit for good reasons. This is evident in the distribution of song writing credits each songwriter either wrote or cowrote around a quarter of the songs, meaning they all had equal distribution. With four singer-songwriters in the group and the less obsessive nature of Buckingham on studio perfection, the band were able to function more as a band, rather than as individual writers. Following the tour, the group went into the studios to record one of their most interesting albums. Their first post-Buckingham album has been harshly criticized for not being up to the Mac’s previous high standardsįollowing Buckingham’s abrupt departure from the group before the Tango in the Night tour, Mick Fleetwood had hired Billy Burnette and Rick Vito to stand in on the tour, and afterwards as new members of Fleetwood Mac. 1 in the UK, it didn’t hit the Top 10 in the US and only one single made the Top 40, whereas previous albums were more successful. Why? Their first post-Buckingham album has been harshly criticized for not being up to the Mac’s previous high standards, largely because of Buckingham’s absence. One answer that won’t be given is Behind the Mask. Ask most people which albums are the best and the answers will generally be Rumours, Fleetwood Mac or Tango in the Night. Ask most people about Fleetwood Mac, or the line up that they know, and it will almost certainly contain Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
