Mid-Fleetwood Mac Good Too
Starting with John McVie's photo, right through the "thickly accented" poem at the end, this album is an oft' overlooked treat.
After the "blues" phase and before the popular success of the band--Bare Trees fills the gap with excellence--buy it today!

Masterful Work by Danny Kirwan
I would have to agree that Danny Kirwan is the real star of this album. It's clearly his work and his overall influence that shaped it. It was the first of the earlier Mac albums I got to know well, and it led me to all their other work between 1967 and 1972. His title track is full of energy and spirit, and is a very "up" song. His guitar work on that one is superb. "Child of Mine" is another favorite, again a very energetic and well-produced song with great guitar work. "Danny's Chant" is fun and funky, and almost primitive sounding. Great Fleetwood drumming there behind Danny. "Sunny Side of Heaven"-- fantastic, beautiful, soulful guitar work here, very pure and clean. And finally, my favorite-- "Dust." This is a song that begins with lyrics from a gorgeous and poignant poem by Rupert Brooke and then takes off from there. It made me cry the first time I heard it and many times since, it is quite simply that beautiful and moving. The vocals are gorgeous, the instrumentation just as exquisitely rendered, the words stunning. All together, a superlative album and well worth any price just for Danny Kirwan's masterful contributions alone!

Bare Trees- 3rd Of The Danny Kirwan Trilogy
Guitarist Danny Kirwan came into Fleetwood Mac in the middle of their initial blues period. 'Quiet, enigmatic- and quite a distinctive player right out of the shoot. Like Jeff Beck, he was not one to overplay. His guitar lines were usually always knockouts. When the band was arguably left to him, Danny's pop sensibilities suddenly prevailed resulting in three fine albums: a. KILN HOUSE b. FUTURE GAMES c. BARE TREES
All are recommended.

great cd
This is a very fine cd except for the last song. A lot of heart went into this recording. If a greatest hit cd of Fleetwood Mac's 1970 to 1974 years was made the first nine cuts would have to be on it.Along with station man,did you ever love me, emerald eyes, hypnotized, miles away, why, heroes are hard to find,angel, bermuda triangle, come a little bit closer.
