Fleetwood Mac fans, time to rejoice! Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie are recording a duet album together, to be released in May.
Tentatively titled Buckingham McVie – echoing the Lindsey/Stevie 1973 record Buckingham Nicks, which resulted in the pair being asked to join Fleetwood Mac – the album will also feature contributions from Fleetwood Mac members John McVie and Mick Fleetwood.
Stevie Nicks is currently in the middle of a solo tour, and the record is being made in downtime before the five team up to record a new Fleetwood Mac record.
“Because of Stevie’s absence, there’s been a very strong link musically between Lindsey and I, where we’ve actually been able to concentrate and co-write,” McVie told the Huffington Post in 2014. Clearly the record has had a long gestation period.
“You know, a better thing’s never happened to me,” McVie told the Los Angeles Times. “We’ve always written well together, Lindsey and I, and this has just spiralled into something really amazing that we’ve done between us.”
“Sometimes,” Buckingham adds, “it takes, oh, about 40 years of perspective to figure it out.”
