Album of the Day

Recorded at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles and produced by Keith Olsen, BUCKINGHAM NICKS is the only studio album by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks as a duo. The 1973 collection quickly faded from commercial view but never disappeared from the cultural conversation; when Mick Fleetwood was scouting studios the following year, he visited Sound City and heard the set’s “Frozen Love” there - which eventually led to Buckingham and Nicks joining Fleetwood Mac. With the pair’s tightly wound harmonies and sharply contrasting songwriting voices (ranging from the folk-rock shimmer of “Crystal” to the sunbaked strut of “Don’t Let Me Down Again”), the outstanding BUCKINGHAM NICKS gets its first-ever reissue today.
