Lindsey Buckingham 2012

One of the finest guitarists of all time was once part of phenomenal band that had left a mark in music history. Lindsey Buckingham rose to fame when he sang and played the guitar for Fleetwood Mac. Recently, he has made his own name doing solo recordings and one live album.

Buckingham is one of the pillars of Folk music. He had started playing the guitar when he was young and ended up in a folk group when he was in his teens. He and then girlfriend Stevie Nicks formed a group and recorded demos so they could land a recording deal; and so they did. They were later signed on to Polydor Records, but the first few attempts flopped.

As they slowly got attention, they joined the band Fleetwood Mac on their tour. Buckingham later became guitarist for Fleetwood Mac after Mick Fleetwood had heard his song. He would not join the band unless Nicks was part of it and so both of them were taken in. Shortly after they joined Fleetwood Mac, the band had received immense success and instant stardom especially after the release of their second studio album, Rumours.

The album was a huge success and remains to be one of the best selling albums in music history. Its carrier single “Go Your Own Way” went up to the Top Ten in the US music charts. Buckingham directed their third album and found great success again. Around that time, he had already started working with other albums and eventually came out with his own debut solo album, “Law and Order”. His first single “Trouble” immediately rose to the Top Ten chart.

From then on, Lindsey Buckingham became a household name, especially with aspiring musicians and fans. He came out with more albums and at the same time, went on tour with Fleetwood Mac. This summer, he will have his own tour and fans can take that opportunity to watch him live on stage. There are cheap Lindsey Buckingham tickets available for those who want watch it badly.
