Title: A Transitional Gem
Product review: Fleetwood Mac had just suffered the loss of Peter Green, who left for reasons irrelevant to speak of here. But having been a three guitar band, now reduced to two, and then adding keyboards from Christine McVie to round out their sound, even expand it, this set of material is just wonderful.In no way abandoning their blues roots, they also expand beyond that into other realms of expression, from the '50's to the emerging progressive music of the '70's.'Hi Ho Silver' is a great tune with a lot of spirit, 'Station Man' tips to their blues/rock foundation, 'Wishing Well' is a great tome to the romantic, 'Jewel Eyed Judy' is a great torch song, of sorts. And the rest that just demonstrated that this incarnation of the band was by no means worse off with the loss of Pete, just different, even presaging the eventuall arrival of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks after the departures of Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwin and Bob Welsh.
