Fleetwood Mac-Fleetwood Mac (1975)

Fleetwood Mac has two distinct eras, a first one where blues was its main competitive genre and a second one where the most commercial sounds focused on sophisticated pop predominated while continuing to look towards the roots of North American music.
"Fleetwood Mac" is the band's first album from this second and tenth chronological period, released in 1975 and had two new members, on one hand the guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and on the other the singer Stevie Nicks.
With these new additions the band would undergo a substantial change in their musical style, abandoning the path of the blues to move to pop-rock terrain with folk brushstrokes, styles that for the other members of the group, drummer Mick Fleetwood, keyboard player Christine McVie and bassist John McVie were totally unknown.
These new members, and ultimately the subsequent change they brought with them, made the effort of the creative twist qualitatively worthwhile.
And although in terms of sales the best was yet to come, this album provided the group with their first number one in the United States in addition to high positions in the United Kingdom.
Both Nicks and Buckingham gave their personal touch to the band's music, songs like Stevie Nicks' "Rhiannon" brought an ethereal grace, while Buckingham's guitar talent created a more rock sound in the opening song "Monday Morning" and in the epic "I'm So Afraid".
All this set of songs brought a balance with great skill to the usual love songs of the main songwriter of the group Christine McVie, and in fact it is the songs of this one, which bring the necessary warmth to the album as "Warm Ways" or " Over my Head. "
With the passage of time the album has become one of the best sellers of the group, reaching millionaire figures and five platinum records everywhere in the United States alone.
