Title: AN UNDERAPPRECIATED CLASSIC
Product review: I once heard Stevie Nicks claim in an interview that "Tusk" was ahead of its time. How true. While not as emotional or fiery as "Rumours," this remains my favorite FM album because it is so non commercial. As much as I love FM, I've grown tired of "Don't Stop" and "Dreams." Nothing on "Tusk" sounds so contrived. Lindsey Buckingham does go a little wild, but his "Walk a Thin Line" is a great ballad. Christine McVie is superb on "Over and Over," "Never Make Me Cry," and "Never Forget." That leaves Stevie Nicks. I've always claimed that she hit her creative peak between 1979 - 1981, and her songs on "Tusk" are among her best. "Storms" shows her vunerability while "Angel" is upbeat and should have been released as a single. But the best is "Sara," on which Stevie spends over six minutes anguishing about a love she can never have atop soaring vocals. It is, simply, as classic.
