...drift over you and enjoy the emotion.
Track 6 *** Red Rover (Buckingham)
A track that shows the undoubted ability of Buckingham on guitar and also his undoubted vocal skills but apart from that forget it. It is to my mind a make weight of the worst type.
Track 7 *** Say You Will (Nicks)
The title track and a track that demonstrates the musical compatibility of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. In some ways it’s almost as if they have stepped back twenty eight years to the time before the came into Fleetwood Mac. I like the track but it really doesn’t set the world on fire. It’s more of a sing along type of track than a track that lifts and inspires me as all good music should and must.
Track 8 *** Peacekeeper (Buckingham)
Perhaps the best known of the tracks on this album is this one Peacekeeper. Released on the Internet...

Advantages: Some good versions of traditional tracks, excellent fast pace Disadvantages: Won't be to everyones tastes
...of the bands music. It isn’t over produced and that adds grit to the sound of the band. The guitars are very quick and set an unbelievably fast pace that really suits the sound. The Irish influence is added both in the melody of the tracks and occasionally by Spicy McHaggis on the bag pipes. The Drums provide a decent backing along with the bass but it’s the guitars that really drive the sound and make the music so appealing.
The vocals really are quite catchy and it’s very hard once you’ve heard the album to not be joining in and signing along with each of the tracks. In particular the bands version of “Wild Rover” is superb and Al Barr’s vocals sound really good taking the lead on such a classic Irish Folk song. In places the vocals do seem a little stretched on a couple of tracks but that is largely down to the extraordinary pace...

* tO SUM Up *
Stevie Nicks is one of my all time favourite artists thanks to my mom who made me listen! Her music is always there for me when i need it and is incredibly inspiring to me and always will be. Nothing compares to the beauty of her voice and her music. This album is possibly her best one...being the reason i'm reviewing it, well also because no one else has. If you go out today and buy a Nicks album i recommend this one or her debut 'Bella Donna'. You won't be dissapointed...oh and the lyrics are in the sleeve so you can sing along!...
