imsjry Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Any Lindsey fans here? Oink, oink! This new disc is one of the best "sounding" discs I've ever heard, even from a 320kb rip. The vocals and guitar sound like he is in the room with you live. Hard to explain. Very three-dimentional sound to the whole thing. It is ear candy for sure. I think he is one of the most underrated musicians of all time. Give it a spin! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Does he do Holiday Road on this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Kevin, no "Holiday Road" here. That's on one of the National Lampoon Vacation movie soundtracks, I believe. Yeah, it leaked on Oink, but it'll be released tomorrow. He did most of the CD himself, so maybe that's how he could keep it under wraps so long? I don't know. OK, you can tell by my avatar, I'm a huge Lindsey Buckingham fan. So if you're a Fleetwood Mac hater, I don't mind, but just be kind. ( imsjry ) I was able to listen to the new CD all weekend on Rhapsody, and some of the songs have been streaming on his website for a few weeks. It has been 14 years since his last solo CD (he's 58 tomorrow ), so this new CD is exciting for his fans. Makes me smile when I read that Brian Wilson thinks Lindsey is a genius. Pretty freakin high praise, IMO. For this CD, it is more folk-pop in sound than his previous solo CDs, and a true showcase for his brilliant finger-picking skills. Jen and I are going to see him at the Ryman (5th row!) in Nashville Saturday -- autumn road trip! . He's taping a CMT Crossroads I think on Wednesday or Thursday at the Ryman, and that would be cool to see, but special invite only (so heads up to you Nashville people to get in from extra tickets at the door???) It will air sometime in December. There are some incredible gems - "Down on Rodeo" and generous use of vocal echo which will be interesting to hear live. "It Was You" sounds like it is sung as a round. "To Try For The Sun" and "Cast Away Dreams" I'm such a fangirl LINDSEY ON TOUR 2006 10/06/06 8:30PM - Variety Playhouse - Atlanta, GA 10/07/06 8:00PM - Ryman Auditorium - Nashville, TN10/09/06 8:30PM - State Theatre - Falls Church, VA 10/10/06 8:00PM - Town Hall - New York, NY10/13/06 7:30PM - Orpheum Theatre - Boston, MA 10/14/06 9:00PM - Foxwoods - Mashantucket, CT 10/15/06 9:00PM - The Borgata - Atlantic City, NJ 10/17/06 8:00PM - The Pabst Theater - Milwaukee, WI10/20/06 8:00PM - Lakewood Civic - Lakewood, OH10/21/06 8:00PM - Taft Theater - Cincinnati, OH10/22/06 7:00PM - Emerald Theatre - Mt.

( imsjry ) I love the Mac and Tusk is in my top 10 albums of all time. I really wish Lindsey worked a little faster and got out of his basement a bit more!! I'm liking the new disc a lot. Much more laid back affair then Out of the Cradle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tongue-tied lightning Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Lindsey's stuff on Tusk is his best work any big names on this record ? or is he playing all instruments ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imsjry Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Lindsey's stuff on Tusk is his best work any big names on this record ? or is he playing all instruments ? He does it all. I think only one song even has "drums". Very mellow disc. Lots of wispered vocals and layered guitar. For die hard fans only, me thinks.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will air sometime in December. Who is he paired with for the Crossroads episode? I think Lindsey is awesome and love watching him play guitar, but what are the odds that his partner on this show sucks immenesly? Hopefully it's not a Toby Keith type.

marino13 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Just looked it up and the group is Little Big Town. Never heard of them, so I can't comment on their suckage. Hopefully, it's a good pairing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Someone once offered me 50 bucks for this: I bought it at a Salvation Army store for 50 cents. If you really like Tusk, the re-master two disc set is the one to buy. I have always said this guy is a great guitar player - check out some of the solos on the live (1980) Fleetwood Mac album. I do not really care for his songs or lyrics - but he does do great things with sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Kevin ... Of COURSE I've seen that video. You just had to set me up for that one, didn't you. It's the name of a song, it's the name of an album, but you were referring to the bad video. Thanks for clearing that up. Such a joker. It's soooo bad, so 80's, so hilarious. Egads. You could have done better than that, though. There's a certain photo of Lindsey and a strategically placed guitar and that's all I'm sayin' do you have that record? I'd be glad to pass it on to you - if you want it.Yes, I bought it back in the olden days. Thanks for the offer though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh Rich Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I got this through on promo - couldn't believe it as I'd not heard anything about it. It is really good, nicely produced, not too over the top or glossy, but Buckingham's vocals are drenched in effects but the guitars sound great as usual... Here's a review from The Guardian last week: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/filmandmusic/st...1882775,00.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 This is a pretty good article I will look out for this. I always thought Tusk was a brave departure and liked it whilst being mainly caught up in New Wave at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Have you seen The Dance? It was an MTV concert that got them back together... amazing concert I think, Lindsay's guitar work is amazing... I can certainly second the TUSK remaster, really good. And I'll also recommend the Buckingham album Out Of The Cradle which is really, really good but hard to get I think... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
