I picked up a copy of the 1984 release "Go Insane" by Lindsey Buckingham at
my local thrift store for $2.99. It is a German import . I have always
liked the single "Go Insane" and most of the Buckingham output with
Fleetwood Mac, so I figured I would pick it up. Production is by Roy
Thomas Baker. Okay!
What a weird, strange record this is. I don't know what I was expecting.
I think maybe some - album oriented, sophisticated pop or something.
After two listens, I can say that the title Go Insane is very appropriate.
It sounded like he was going insane. It sounds like a mish mash of song
ideas that were not fully realized, that were way over produced in the
studio. What was he thinking. Was this some type of vanity project or
something self indulgent? What is his other solo material like?
My first exposure to the Lindsey Buckingham was with the 45 of Kind of a
Drag by the Buckingham Nicks from the 60's when I was a very young child.
This release just makes no sense at all.
Or was it the drugs.........
