"Monday Morning" kicks off Fleetwood Mac, the band's second self-titled album, released in 1975, and it belongs to Lindsey Buckingham: he wrote it, sings it with Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks, and piles on acoustic, electric and resonator guitars plus banjo. Christine McVie adds keyboards and synthesizer, John McVie plays bass and Mick Fleetwood drums, and all five of them produced it with Keith Olsen.
It wasn't written with Fleetwood Mac in mind. Like "Rhiannon" and "I'm So Afraid", it was meant for a second Buckingham Nicks LP that never happened once Polydor dropped the duo. Buckingham brought it to the 1975 sessions on his 4-track tape machine; Fleetwood took to the demos right away, John McVie balked at straying from the blues, and Olsen talked him round with a crack about pop rock being the faster road to the bank.
