Seeds We Sow

Seeds We Sow

This is an interesting album, coming from an artist who with Fleetwood Mac and on his own has made his share of intriguing music. It was recorded in his home studio where Buckingham is able to maintain an intimate, primal vibe at will. “That’s the Way Love Goes” is a stripped-down pop tune with rough, vibrant electric guitars. “When She Comes Down” shimmers as an ethereal pop tune. “Stars Are Crazy” is an intricate guitar piece that like much of this fine album shows off Buckingham’s impressive guitar work. If Buckingham didn’t already have a resume as one of pop music’s master craftsmen, he would surely be better known as a master guitarist.  Unlike so much of Fleetwood Mac’s studio work where the gloss is part of the appeal, Seeds We Sow deliberately shows all the warts. It’s raw, but Buckingham’s still a perfectionist. “Rock Away Blind” is an elliptical maze. His cover of the Rolling Stones’ “She Smiled Sweetly” plays out as a folk song.  This is an album of bewitching wonders.
