Go Insane by Lindsey Buckingham (CD, Jul-1991, Reprise)

Another splendid recording from a musical genius. Been looking for this disc for a long time. I found it a t the right price and time. Needed this recording in order to complete the Buckingham discography.

I first bought this album as a cassette in the mid '80s. so glad to get it in cd format. Lindsey's signature guitar wizardry is evident all through this. In addition, his lyrics and vocal styling are simply outstanding. "Go Insane" led me to this album, but "Play in the Rain" and "Loving Cup" cause me to replay this cd over and over. Every song is a keeper. Plus the photo of Lindsey on the inside liner, with his 80's "Flock of Seagulls" hair style is well worth the price of the cd. Have fun listening. A must for any collector of Lindsey or Fleetwood Mac music.

Lindsey on his own is free to go in all the directions he wants to, and he does, every time. This 1984 album is a good example. He's got a touch like no other on those strings, and everybody who's a fan knows it. Love to love him? Then you should have this, along with all his other solo stuff.

Another good solo album is "Law And Order," from three years before, with the video from the single "Trouble," when MTV and anything that was put in a music video was new, having an all-white burnt-out video image, with all the members of the band mirrored in V-pattern...so primitive and funny looking now.

Both this album and 1981's "Law And Order" are worth owning even if you're just a casual Fleetwood Mac fan. Good for expanding your knowledge of exactly what only Lindsey can add to whatever he does.
