Fleetwood Mac by Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac is an album by Fleetwood Mac, released in 1975. 6 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 157 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Rhiannon”, on 68 lists with a best position of #5.
Fleetwood Mac, the band's tenth album and the second to carry its name, came out on Reprise in July 1975, and it's the moment the old British blues band turned into an American hit machine. Bob Welch was gone, and at the end of 1974 Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie had brought in Lindsey Buckingham on guitar and Stevie Nicks on vocals. Keith Olsen produced it with the band. Some fans just call it the White Album.
The new blood changed everything. Buckingham's guitar is bright and nimble, Christine McVie's keyboards glow, and Nicks brings a smoky, spellbinding presence to "Rhiannon" and a plainspoken ache to "Landslide". It's soft rock with sharp edges and harmonies to die for, and "Over My Head" and "Say You Love Me" went top twenty too. It was a slow burn: the album reached number one in America 58 weeks after it entered the chart, sold over 9 million copies there, and set the stage for Rumours.
