Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie Reveal Album Details and Announce Tour Dates
Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie are just about ready to unveil their upcoming album — starting with the impending release of the set's first single, "In My World," this week.
Due April 14, the "In My World" single officially starts the long-awaited lead up to Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie, the duo project led by the Fleetwood Mac bandmates who rediscovered their creative bond after McVie rejoined the group's lineup in 2014. Scheduled for a June 9 release, the album offers what both partners see as the sensible — and long-overdue — culmination of a long-term partnership.
"We were exploring a creative process, and the identity of the project took on a life organically," explained Buckingham in a press release. "The body of work felt like it was meant to be a duet album. We acknowledged that to each other on many occasions, and said to ourselves, 'what took us so long?'"
"We've always written well together, Lindsey and I," added McVie. "This has just spiraled into something really amazing that we've done between us."
Tracked in Los Angeles, Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie serves as a de facto Fleetwood Mac album of sorts; although singer Stevie Nicks was not involved, the duo worked with Mac rhythm section Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, adding their distinctive "dynamic rhythmic engine" to the 10-song set. You can check out the complete track listing below.
The album's release will be followed by a spate of what are being referred to as "special U.S. concerts." Listed below, they're scheduled to begin June 21 and continue through July 27 — including a previously reported stop in Washington on July 19. Whether they'll be performing with Fleetwood and John McVie is unknown, although it's probably worth noting that Fleetwood Mac are booked to appear at the Classic East and Classic West festivals this summer.
