Free Music Notes for Tusk (Deluxe Edition)

Free Music Review: Fleetwood Mac's masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars

I loved "Rumours", who didn't ? But "Tusk" was the creative zenith in the amazing career of Fleetwood Mac, it's not really even debatable in my opinion.

Stevie Nicks contributes some of the best work of her career here, especially "Sara" and the criminally underrated "Beautiful Child" which to me is arguably her best song ever, the harmonies in that song are a reminder of what makes this band the greatest Pop-Rock act in music history.

Christine McVie's contributions here are good, the highlight being "Brown Eyes" which is a dark, sexy song which features Mick Fleetwood at his best on drums, John McVie is stellar here as well, just a great, great song, my only complaint is that some of her songs on "Tusk" seem out of place and seem to slow it down a bit, they are a little too droll for my taste...too AM radio, which would have been fine on Rumours but don't fit as well surrounded by Lindsey's manic brilliance and Stevie's airy, dreamy, mystical beauty.

And that brings me to the aforementioned Mr. Buckingham...."Tusk" is his baby all the way and he really takes it and runs....far, far away to a place he has never been to before or since and a place few musicians ever get to.

His level of creativity here is awe-inspiring both in his production of the album and in his own 9 songs, some of which are bizarre but madly brilliant "The Ledge", "Tusk" and "Not That Funny" being the best examples.

Lindsey's best songs here are "Save Me a Place", "I Know I'm Not Wrong" and "Walk a Thin Line".

I can't even begin to find the necessary words to do this album justice, it's their best album, "Rumours" was great and accessible and romantic and full of emotion and big hits but "Tusk" is on a different level creatively, it's dark, moody, schizophrenic and unbelievably brilliant.

5 very emphatic stars !

Tusk (Deluxe Edition) Poster

If your personal turmoil and professional musical struggles suddenly yielded more success and money than you could ever imagine, what would you do? A lesser '70s rock band recorded Don't Look Back; Fleetwood Mac made Tusk. Whether it was a firm, middle-finger salute to the weighty commercial expectations foisted upon them in the wake of Rumours' burgeoning successes or a restless creative response to the then-shifting tides of pop music taste, this 1979 20-track double album remains the most consistently adventurous project any incarnation of the veteran band ever attempted. This remastered, double-disc deluxe edition's 21-track bonus disc of demos and outtakes seems to argue for the latter, new wave-fueled influences, bringing together a dizzying range of performances that underscore everything from Lindsey Buckingham's Brian Wilson jones (the warm, inventive harmonies of the band's dreamy outtake of the Beach Boys chestnut "Farmer's Daughter") to Christine McVie's knack for jazz-bluesy heat ("One More Time," which ultimately became "Over and Over") and pop hooks ("Think About Me") and Stevie Nicks's pop-goddess hoodoo (deliciously spare, fragile versions of "Sara," "Storms," and "Sisters of the Moon"). Most of the demos and outtakes here are imbued with a funky, loose-limbed spirit that offer new insight into their creation. But, as on the finished album, it's Buckingham's endlessly inventive creative spirit that dominates, from the chunky-rhythmed "Can't Walk out of Here" and "Out on the Road" (which became "The Ledge" and "That's Enough For Me," respectively) to three separate early recordings that chronicle the evolution of "I Know I'm Not Wrong." Rumours may be ubiquitous; Tusk remains unique. --Jerry McCulley
