A journey through time - Magazine Qobuz

In the big family of great guitarists names such as Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Frank Zappa are always on the tip of the tongue. But Lindsey Buckingham, formerly of Fleetwood Mac, certainly merits a place in this hall of fame.

Now 69 years old, the three-time Grammy winner built up a big fanbase in the 1970s and 1980s but has also had a very full career since. Buckingham has six studio albums to his name, three live albums and one record which he made with Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. Solo Anthology: The Best Of Lindsey Buckingham clocks in at over three hours long and is made up, for the most part, of the artist's original tracks. It's a kind of vast résumé of his career including live and alternative takes of tracks from albums such as Law and Order, Go Insane and Out Of The Cradle, but also his collaborations with McVie on the 2017 album Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie. Buckingham’s talent as a guitarist certainly shines through on Not Too Late but that doesn't keep the Californian's voice from taking a somewhat commercial turn at times. This anthology also sees the release of two new tracks: Hunger and Ride This Road as well as folk ballads from the early days such as Don't Look Down. This is a journey through time from Buckingham’s first solo album in 1981 to the present day. © Anna Coluthe/Qobuz
