Hello there, my name is Tucker. I love all sorts of music especially the music of yesteryear. I hope you enjoy my reviews, and I hope they entertain you, (I try to make my reviews funny and interesting), and maybe add a new perspective to an album you enjoy or do not enjoy.
"Buckingham Nicks" is the very first recording to feature future Fleetwood (say that three times fast) Mac members Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. For a debut album, "Buckingham Nicks" is a surprisingly consistent slab of vinyl. Nicks' lyrics are almost as poetic as her later tracks with Fleetwood Mac, and Buckingham really shows off his earliest and most primitive form of producing and his guitar virtuosity; both of which would be his resume for Fleetwood Mac.
The only real weak point of the album would be the dreadfully of it's time "Lola (My Love)". However, the album has plenty of strong points, vocally and instrumentally, to be able to forgive that one weak track.
Stevie Nicks' vocals are some of her best. However, the "magic" really shows when both Buckingham and Nicks harmonize together. When they harmonize the Earth shakes, maybe not but you get my point. When they harmonize it's quite easy to see why they were requested to join Fleetwood Mac.
Final Rating-9/10
Stand-Out Tracks- "Crying In The Night", "Stephanie" and "Frozen Love"
