Album Notes Personnel: Lindsey Buckingham (vocals, various instruments); Mitchell Froom (organ); Larry Klein, Buell Neidlinger (bass); Alen Acuna (percussion). Engineers include: Richard Dashut, Kevin Killen, Greg Droman. Featuring the impossibly catchy hit, "Countdown," Lindsey Buckingham's third solo release, 1992's OUT OF THE CRADLE, includes 14 songs, along with two short, but notable, guitar instrumentals. Buckingham is often lauded as a writer of tart pop confection, but OUT OF THE CRADLE also showcases his excellent guitar playing, which has only improved over the years. Like his other solo recordings, Buckingham's tastes and influences are vast and eccentric. OUT OF THE CRADLE features lush, dreamy ballads that recall early 1960s Southern California ballads on songs such as "All My Sorrows" and "Say We'll Meet Again," and dabblings in jazz atmospherics on "Street of Dreams." But Buckingham's keenest moments on OUT OF THE CRADLE are in his well-documented oeuvre of chiming pop. The songs "Countdown," "Don't Look Down," and "Turn it On" stand out as some of the best, most melodic pop music to come forth from Fleetwood Mac and company's numerous releases.
