Quite likely the most underrated album in the Fleetwood Mac canon, 1970’s Kiln House intriguingly catches the group in a period of transition. The set also includes all of the Green-era band’s other classic singles, the achingly beautiful instrumental “Albatross,” the nine-minute epic “Oh Well (Parts 1 and 2)” and “Black Magic Woman.” Yes, Santana had the hit, but it was originally a Fleetwood Mac song. This 20-track CD supplants the 1969 singles compilation The Pious Bird of Good Omen by adding two hard-to-find but essential singles recorded in 1970 just as Fleetwood Mac’s blues-rock-oriented first lineup was crumbling, “Man of the World” and “The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Prong Crown).” The latter was original frontman Peter Green’s musical farewell note, a nightmarish drug-induced vision written and recorded shortly before he left the band to join a religious cult and largely give up music. The Best of Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac (Blue Horizon Records 2002) Let’s rectify that with a countdown of the essential pre-Buckingham Nicks Fleetwood Mac albums. But it seems like only the Mac’s 1975-’87 period, when Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were fronting the band and they were scoring massive hits, has penetrated the consciousness of today’s bearded youth, with their earlier incarnations largely unknown. RIAA Certification : Album - Platinum (1 million, 5/01/78)ĭiscography entry submitted by Christy Valkman & Jeff Hibbs.For the last couple of years, Fleetwood Mac have been the latest vintage soft rock band to become fashionable among the sort of college students who still frequent used record shops.Great songs, a lot of energy and of course one of the great love songs in rock, Sentimental Lady. French Kiss was just a classic album and it still sounds good today. It was a little pretentious, although I did like "1 in 10" and "Blue Robin". I picked up the 2nd Paris album and thought this isn't too bad but not a lot of people are going to buy it. I followed Bob welch from when he was in Fleetwood Mac and thought they had a great sound then. Talk about your psychological staying power, Danchiva. When I finally remembered, I had some serious High School Deja Vu, it was "French Kiss". They drifted and floated in my psyche for ages but I just could not recall their origin. I just could not remember where or what they came from. The reason I came here is this I had some guitar "licks" floating around in my head forever. I really don't have that much to add to the notion that "French Kiss" is great. Review written by The Mighty Feldspar, November 10th, 2006 Perhaps they were 'dead heads' and this wasn't rock enough for 'em? This is one of my all time favorite albums of the 70's (and is great to listen to on a m-buzz) And I do have a lot of memories of 'the day' when I listen to this one.
