I'm another who has all (well nearly) the Mac albums. I was buying them from the first album, got all the Blues Horizon singles as
they came out...blah blah... I think they hit their stride on the run up to Then Play On. English Rose is a weird put together that
covers the best of the early stuff. Pious Bird is similar, but leans more towards the early blues phase.
The Live In Boston cds are full of good stuff, despite a lot of Jeremy Spencer stuff.
As they morphed, the albums continued to be really good, Kiln House, Future Games, Bare Trees, and then a dip when Welch dominated.
The Buckingham Nicks band did some good stuff. I have all four, no five albums. Great songs on all. I even got the last studio,
which wasn't half bad. It's really up to Lindsey. He's the real thing, and helped the others so much. His first solo, Law And Order
is just one of the greatest albums ever. The others are ok, but to my ears, that's the best.
Funny to know that so many of you caught on for that last album, Mirage is it? It's a good one too, but only for a couple of song
I'd say.
Just weird how that band had so many lead faces and still survived. I'm mean Dave Walker is on two of my albums... Any one heard
Time with Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlett? Not me! What a strange move that failed so badly.
As all the vinyl is so common, I'd think most people could manage to get something from every era. Shame the pre B-N albums have
been neglected reissue wise.
It surprises me that there is any question about F Mac. Great band that is unlike any other I know of. They were always a big deal
in the Bay Area. Even the "fake Mac" got a chance before the audience was ready to riot.
