Music Review: Fleetwood Mac - Time

Fleetwood Mac was in disarray during the early nineties.After only one album with the group Ricky Vito left.

The real loss was happened when on her solo career Stevie Nicks withdrew to concentrate,which meant no Buckingham or Nicks as a part of the band.It is a testament to Mick Fleetwood and the McVie’s that they had the resolve to keep the group going.

Bekka Bramlett and Dave Mason joint the band as a new member,along with the other holdover Billy Burnette, brought a very different approach to the group’s sound.Bramlett was the daughter of Delaney & Bonnie of Eric Clapton Fame

Dave Mason who is a world class guitarist but his sound and style was shaped by his former group Traffic and probably would have fit the pre-pop Fleetwood Mac better.

On October 10, 1985, Time was released which was the least successful album with the band which even didn't reached the album charts in The United States.

About Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac is a British/American rock band formed in 1967, that has experienced a high turnover of personnel and varied levels of success. From the band's inception through the end of 1974, no incarnation of Fleetwood Mac lasted as long as two years, but all featured core members Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.
