Bare Trees - Fleetwood Mac

Bare Trees - Fleetwood Mac.  My pal Mike D. turned me on to this album.  He considered it for a guest post, but I did not own it - yet.  I scored it a record show back in Novermber.  This is the back cover, which is more interesting than the front cover.  We all know the Fleetwood Mac lineup that transformed mainstream pop with smash hits from 1975 to 1987, but as Mike explained to me, there were really (at least) four Fleetwoods Mac (is that the plural?).  From Mike, here is the rundown: "Fleetwood Mac" is (at least) FOUR different bands: (1.) early FM with the great and enigmatic Peter Green on guitar (Green Manalishi, Oh Well, etc), then (2.) the Fleetwood Mac with Danny Kirwin and Jeremy Spencer on albums like this one, Bare Trees, and also Kiln House.  Mike says, listen to "Jewel-Eyed Judy" from Kiln House (!), (3.) the version with Bob Welch (with songs like "Hypnotized", "Ghost of Flight 401" and "Future Games") then (4.) the famous line-up with Stevie and Lindsey.  And there's the short-lived version after that with Bekka Bramlett and Dave Mason.  Thanks Mike - this was mainly your post anyways!  Click on post title to hear Sentimental Lady.
