The Phoenix.com Review Under The Skin
On the Racks: The boys of Fleetwood Mac have gotten together to help Lindsay Buckingham — one of the more underrated guitarists, producers, and songwriters of his era — make a solo album that doesn’t suck. For starters, all those Fleetwood Mac reunions got him away from that terrible haircut he had in the ’80s. More importantly, Buckingham sticks mainly to acoustic guitar with understated backing by Macsters Mick Fleetwood (drums) and John McVie (bass), forcing songwriting to the fore on Under the Skin (Reprise). And now that he doesn’t suck, he’s actually already at work on another, more electric guitar-oriented disc. Maybe he can even get Stevie Nicks in to sing a duet on that one.
