John McVie: Bass Lindsey Buckingham, Guitars,Vocals Stevie Nicks: Vocals Mick Fleetwood: Drums, Percussion Christine McVie: Keyboards, Synthesizers RECORDED AT: The Record Plant, Sausalito and Los Angeles, California Wally Heider Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida Davlen Recording Studio, North Hollywood, California "Songbird" recorded at Zellerback Auditorium, U.C.Berkeley, March 3rd, 1976 MIXED AT: Sound City, Van Nuys, California and the Record Plant, Los Angeles, California ENGINEERS: Ken Caillat, Richard Dashut, Assisted by Cris Morris PRODUCED BY: FLEETWOOD MAC with Richard Dashut and Ken Caillat The reviewers tell us what to buy, but the public actually part with the cash. Surely 26 million people cannot be wrong, as original Mac guitarist Peter Green's creation became the prime example of AOR long after his departure. The inner strife and turmoil of the band is credited as having helped to make this many-headed beast into such a success. Keyboardist Christine McVie sparred with husband/bassist John, and singer Stevie Nicks scrapped with boyfriend/guitarist Lindsay Buckingham. Drummer Mick Fleetwood held the emotional mess together with confident steadiness as demonstrated in his confident, inventive playing throughout the record. Nicks' fiery vocals on "Go Your Own Way" complemented McVie's beautifully understated style on tunes like "You Make Loving Fun," exemplifying their successful fire-ice dichotomy.
