Fleetwood Mac
One of the most commercially successful rock groups of all time, Fleetwood
Mac was formed in London in 1967 by ex-members of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers:
Mick Fleetwood (drums), John McVie (bass), Jeremy Spencer (guitar) and
Peter Green (guitar). The group made their recording debut in 1968 with
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, a hit U.K. blues album, followed by Mr. Wonderful,
another blues effort. With the addition of guitarist Danny Kirwan, the
group took on some California rock influences, releasing the European
hit single "Albatross" in 1969. (Material from this early period
was later repackaged in the U.S. as English Rose, which features the song
"Black Magic Woman," which became a hit for Santana.)
The revitalized Fleetwood Mac released the popular Future Games in the
fall of 1971, quickly followed by 1972's Bare Trees. Now as big in America
as in Europe, Fleetwood Mac began touring the U.S., leaving behind troubled
guitarist Danny Kirwan, who was replaced by ex-Savoy Brown guitarist Bob
Weston. In 1975 the group brought in the soft rock duo Lindsey Buckingham
(guitar) and Stevie Nicks (vocals), creating the band's classic lineup
and shifting the band's sound towards pop. The new lineup made its debut
on an eponymous 1975 album which became their biggest hit to date, reaching
No. 1 on the strength of the Top 20 singles "Rhiannon," "Over
My Head," and "Say You Love Me" and eventually selling
over five million copies.
Following another round of solo albums and side-projects, Fleetwood Mac
reunited to record four new songs for The Chain, a 1992 box set to commemorate
the group's 25th anniversary; the classic lineup also performed "Don't
Stop" for President Bill Clinton, who used the Rumours hit as his
1992 campaign theme song. Now officially consisting of Mick Fleetwood,
John McVie, Billy Burnette, vocalist Bekka Bramlett, and guitarist Dave
Mason, Fleetwood Mac embarked on another tour, opening for Crosby, Stills
and Nash, later touring with Pat Benatar in 1995. In October 1995 the
new Fleetwood lineup turned in the album Time, after which the group broke
up yet again.
To date Fleetwood Mac has sold over 100 million albums, making them one
of the most popular bands in rock history.
