Fleetwood Mac - Penguin CD


Our Price: $8.69 For Sale Usually ships in 1-2 days

1973 was a busy year for Fleetwood Mac, who continued to ply a mix of California country rock and blues at a time when glam ruled the roost in England. PENGUIN was one of two albums recorded that year and the band's first since parting ways with Danny Kirwan. Replacing him were English guitarist Bob Weston and singer Dave Walker, who the Mac stole from Savoy Brown after an American tour with that band. Due to a fair amount of drunk and disorderly behavior in the studio, Walker's contributions were minimal. He penned a country-flavored number called "The Derelict" and sings lead and plays harmonica on Jr. Walker's "(I'm A) Road Runner."

Despite this slight turmoil, the rest of PENGUIN is a wonderful mixed bag of material. Highlights include the upbeat, steel drum-tinged "Did You Ever Love Me," the ethereal "Night Watch" (featuring an uncredited Peter Green on guitar) and the slide guitar-drenched "Remember Me" (punctuated by Christine McVie's honey-sweet vocals). McVie's singing also shines on "Dissatisfied" and is a distinctive contrast to Bob Welch's spoken-word style of singing on more hypnotic fare such as "Revelation" and "Bright Fire."

Penguin Music Review

Average Rating: (3.7 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

4 stars Solid Album
One of the last albums before the induction of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham into the band, "Penguin" contains only traces of the band's original solid blues foundation. This album excels without the company of Nicks/Buckingham,and shows an early version of what would become Fleetwood Mac's defining sound. This album is worth purchasing if you enjoyed deeper cuts of the self-titled album.

4 stars Nice
Fleetwood Mac before Stevie Nicks was a totally different band, and cool. This album and another ("Then Play On" (Which has the hit "Oh Well") are excellent examples. This CD containns a song called "Night Watch" which is one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. If you really like Stevie, you might not like this, otherwise, give it a shot.
