20th Century Lindsey

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Lindsey Buckingham, 20th Century Lindsey (Rhino)

4CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
4LP: Rhino.com

Lindsey Buckingham's earliest solo works are getting a box set from Rhino this summer.  True to its name, 20th Century Lindsey features remastered versions of the three albums the Fleetwood Mac singer/guitarist issued during the 20th century - 1981's Law and Order, 1984's Go Insane and 1992's Out of the Cradle - plus a newly compiled disc of eight rarities. The set showcases Buckingham's restless creative spirit that fueled a good portion of Fleetwood Mac's discography, blossoming into wild and sometimes unexpected territory on his own. The eight tracks on 20th Century Rarities offer some crucial entries in Buckingham's '80s discography, including immortal soundtrack cuts for National Lampoon's Vacation (the unforgettable theme "Holiday Road") and Back to the Future (the nervy "Time Bomb Town"). There's also a few rare remixes of "Go Insane" and "Slow Dancing" that were predominantly issued in Europe, and a rare reunion with former creative and romantic partner Stevie Nicks - "Twisted," off the soundtrack to the 1996 action disaster flick Twister - that anticipated Buckingham's second tenure in the band, from the 1997 live reunion The Dance until his second departure from the group in 2018.  Read more here.

Following a digital release earlier this year, Ghostlight Records has brought the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Water for Elephants to CD. The circus-themed musical with a folk-tinged score by the PigPen Theatre Co. garnered an impressive seven Tony Award nominations including Best Musical, and this enjoyable album makes it clear why. Water for Elephants features a book by Rick Elice (Jersey Boys, Peter and The Starcatcher) based on Sara Gruen's novel. It stars Grant Gustin (TV's The Flash), Isabelle McCalla (The Prom, Shucked), four-time Tony nominee Gregg Edelman (City of Angels), and Paul Alexander Nolan (Slave Play) and is currently packing houses at The Imperial Theatre on Broadway.
