Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967. Fleetwood Mac were founded by guitarist Peter Green, drummer Mick Fleetwood and guitarist Jeremy Spencer, before bassist John McVie joined the line-up for their eponymous debut album. Danny Kirwan joined as a third guitarist in 1968. Keyboardist and vocalist Christine Perfect, who contributed as a session musician from the second album, married McVie and joined in 1970, becoming known as Christine McVie. Primarily a British blues band at first, Fleetwood Mac achieved a UK number one with " Albatross", and had other hits such as the singles " Oh Well", " Man of the World", and "The Green Manalishi". All three guitarists left in succession during the early 1970s, replaced by guitarists Bob Welch and Bob Weston and vocalist Dave Walker. By 1974, Welch, Weston and Walker had all either departed or been dismissed, leaving the band without a male lead vocalist or a guitarist. In late 1974, while Fleetwood w ...

"Sisters of the Moon" is a song by British-American rock group Fleetwood Mac. It was written and sung by band-member Stevie Nicks and was released in the US as the fourth single from the 1979 album ''Tusk''. It peaked at No. 86 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song was not released in the UK, where "Not That Funny" had been released as a single instead. The 'single version' of "Sisters of the Moon" is included on the compilation ''The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac'' and both the 2004 and 2015 remaster of 'Tusk'. "Sisters of the Moon" emerged from a jam during a session at Village Recorder in Los Angeles. Unlike Nicks' other songs on ''Tusk'', "Sisters of the Moon" was not written with anyone in mind; she found the lyrics nonsensical. When performed live, the song would usually go for over eight minutes in length, most notably the Mirage Tour version in 1982. The song did not appear on any subsequent tour until their 2013 Tour. "Sisters of the Moon" was also played on the North Ameri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

I'm So Afraid
"I'm So Afraid" is a song written by Lindsey Buckingham for the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac for their tenth album, ''Fleetwood Mac''. The song was intended for a second Buckingham Nicks album, but the album never came to fruition. Background Like all other Buckingham and Nicks compositions on Fleetwood Mac's 1975 eponymous album, “I'm So Afraid” was written before Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac. "It made the process of cutting that first album much easier than it would've otherwise been, working with people we'd never worked with before." "I'm So Afraid" is the final track of the album, and was released as the B-side to the song " Over My Head". It is a hard rock song, atypical of Fleetwood Mac's songs (at least following the Peter Green era), but it quickly became a live staple showcasing Lindsey Buckingham's guitar skills.
