Now, find me a Fleetwood Mac "tribute" band that plays this and I am there!
RIP Danny Kirwan, one of the most underrated guitar players and songwriters ever. Thanks for the music Danny!
a rare 10
Once upon a time, I was wandering down Front Street in Lahaina, Maui, with a couple of buddies. That wasn't unusual; for four years, I was a crewmember on the USS Tunny, a 'fast-attack' submarine based in Pearl Harbor. The sub actually went to Lahaina twice, and us sailors learned that Lahaina was a happening town. We returned often when we could.
Well, we were wandering past the Lahaina Yacht Club and I dared my buddies to go in with me. To assuage their concerns that we'd be unceremoniously (and immediately) tossed back into the street, I promised two rounds on me.
The place was empty, and the bartender was eager for company. We chatted for a few minutes, guzzled our beers (sailors!) and a Fleetwood Mac song came over the stereo. The bartender says, "Yeah, Mick and his crew were in here last week. He has this big wooden yawl named Challenge, and always stops in for a few days when the boat's here."
"He had these long-sleeve t-shirts printed up for their cruise," he continued, pointing to a rack of t-shirts illustrated by a sailboat being steered by a teddy bear, with Challenge: Pacific Cruise 1978 emblazoned on the right sleeve. "Those are leftovers he donated to the Club. You want one?"
Each of us bought one, finished our beers and headed out the door. Now, however, we were wandering with a purpose: impostors pretending to be Mick Fleetwood's professional sailing crew.

You mean the human metronome? I think they use him to calibrate electronic drums. Heck, Mac and Mick make an outstanding rhythm section here, been together a lonnnng time. I'll bet that few people outside RP listeners know about this FM era. Damn fine tunes.
I knew of this when this came out, so roughly 50 years before I joined RP. And I had Buckingham/Nicks shortly after it came out. I feared I would lose two of my favorite bands when they joined, but they made a lot of fine music together. Perhaps not quite up to this standard, but very little is.
Having said that, RP has been a revelation with new artists, listening to songs from bands I'd heard of but never listened to and listening again to songs I'd lost touch with years ago.

I have Tusk, because I bought it new, but the Bare Trees I acquired some years ago is more favorite. My FM LP collection is gonna grow in the pre-Buckingham/Nicks days.
Thanks BillG for keeping this stuff alive.

Nice, new to me. I was surprised that it was Fleetwood Mac, then I remembered, oh yeah, THAT Fleetwood Mac. Cool.

Bumped from a 9 to a 10. Early Mac were Gods to me. (but damn I hate the Wikipedia image of the later band)

Reminds of a college prank. We felt a girl in our circle was making WAY to much out of her relatioinship with her teddy bear, so we borrowed it for an afternoon and shot Polaroids portraits of him - his foot dangling above an knocked over stool, his lower torso sticking out of the oven, etc. She did not think it was funny, but, like so many artists, we were creating for ourselves, so it did not matter.
Lovely imagery in the album cover: Teddy Bear with a noose around the neck. Racoon with jester shoes in the treee ... I could postulate more but why spoil the fun?

Great album! Listen to Future Games and Bare Trees, from the same FM era.
... and Mystery to Me.
Now this is what I call Fleetwood Mac.
Oh yeah. These guys once played RnR.
Actually quite well.
Dang it! That little bell ringing thingie in the mix sounds just like the Facebook DM chimey. I heard it and immediately picked up my phone. Whoda thunk that Danny Kerwin or his producer could predict such a thing in the 1970? I tell ya,
The late great Danny Kirwan, along with Jeremy Spencer, neither of whom are featured in the photo opposite. Awesome.
ROCK IT MAMA mmm mmm ummm

Had this album and think it's the best work this band ever played.

RIP Danny Kirwan 6/8/18. Some of his best work here.
Now that's what I would call Fleetwood Mac.
WAH WAH WAH WAH WAHMBULANCE
Great tune. I bet ZZ Top could do a good version of this 
Only Mac album I own. It is a good one.
Some tasty cowbell on this.
Great song by one of the most underrated guitar players of all time, Danny Kirwan. Another unfortunate casualty from the early days of the Mac, the real Fleetwood Mac.
Great tune. But the lyrics are too complex for me.
such a great tune ! if u listen carefully u can hear Christine perfect-mcvie on piano and singing even tho she is not credited on lp ie she still under contract with chicken shack at the time / what a gem !Been a long time since I pulled this one out - it is on my list for tonight - nice pick Bill
Somewhere buried away, I have my original LP of this. One of my favorite albums. This song is a great highway tune!
Thank you King of Discs...

Yup, this is the 'latest' FM album I own, on vinyl. After this, ...nope. "Kiln House" is an extraordinary album end-to-end and makes a dreamy afternoon played back-to-back with "Then Play On."

I think Peter Green misses Peter Green. He was such a good looking guy with so much going for him before he became ill.
But he's begun playing again as far as I know.
For a while in the 80's or 90's he lived in a village a few miles from here, in Skåne, south Sweden.
I still miss Peter Green

The strength of this and most great artists is not to repeat themselves. While Christine's vocals are pretty distinctive, they managed to make most of their compositions diverse. So, don't go looking for another song just like this, but do check out their early work. I think you will be happy you did.
I absolutely love this kind of sound. A little bit disappointed that it is not the album dominant style...if anyone could advise me some same batch music, that would be greatly appreciated

Love the crunchy guitar. (I promise I am not in the habit of calling a song "crunchy". In this case, it seemed like the right word to use.)
— rockin it baby — They don't make music the way they used to!!!

Surprised that I haven't already corrupted this thread with my usual comment: This was when the band was GOOD -- before she-who-shall-not-be-mentioned turned them into a mindless pop group.
I vote 10! Because you'd be hard pressed to find such tasty guitar work in anything today.

Kiln House is an excellent overall album. First post Peter Green album yet a great blend of blues, ballads and rock!

Never got around to getting this album. Now I'm wishing that I had. Back on the todo list it goes.

For some reason I've been listening to a lot of early Fleetwood Mac recently - had "Mystery to Me" on the headphones while coding yesterday. Looks like I need to cue up "Kiln House" today . . .

"All the things you (I) do ..." OMG! Definitely too much Information. But it is a bouncy kind of song .. has quite a bit of the "Secret Agent Man" rhythm beat, too .....

Happy stuff!
