Lindsey Buckingham

Lindsey Buckingham (born October 3, 1949 in Palo Alto, California) is an American guitarist and singer for the musical group Fleetwood Mac. During his career he has also done some independent recording since he first became a member of Fleetwood Mac. He is married to photographer Kristen Messner and has three children.

Buckingham Nicks

It took a year for Buckingham and Nicks to record seven demos in 1972. After recording the demos on an analog 4-track, the two drove to Los Angeles to get a record deal. In 1973, Polydor records signed the pair. The album, Buckingham Nicks, was released in September of 1973; soon after its release, Polydor Records dropped Nicks and Buckingham due to poor sales. Life dealt Lindsey another blow soon after, when his father Morris died of a heart attack in 1974 at age 56.

To help make ends meet, Lindsey toured with Don Everly's back-up band, singing Phil's parts. Lindsey and Stevie were eventually forced to move in with record producer Keith Olsen, who helped the pair work on several demos for the next Buckingham/Nicks album, including "I'm So Afraid", "Monday Morning", and "Rhiannon".

Buckingham Nicks was never officially released on CD format due to the fact that it has no record company. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have "split" ownership of the album. The only song that has been commercially released on digital format is "Long Distance Winner" found on Stevie Nicks' box set Enchanted, released in 1998 (though there is a promotional only CD release from 1992 that includes 'Stephanie' from this LP entitled 'Lindsey Buckingham Words and Music (A Retrospective)' which was released to promote Lindsey's third solo release 'Out of the Cradle'). Buckingham Nicks is unlikely to see a CD release. LPs of the album are quite valuable to collectors.
