Got mine today. Surprised but glad to see Rick must've re-upped with Hypertension. Thought that deal was over. Miss the jewel case (i.e. more extensive notes etc.) but good music, that's all that matters.

Hate to say that I have downloaded the album from iTunes but not listened to it yet (haven't listened to the album by the witchy one either, so FM isn't getting much of an airing in my house right now).

Anyone else think Rick looks A LOT like Henry Winkler on the back cover?!?!?

Bump to an old thread, BUT does anyone find it ironic that it took two great guitarists to replace just one Lindsey Buckingham in FM?? To me, that goes to show just how good LB truly is!! |

I'm of the opinion (and yes I'm a die-hard Rick fan) that Rick could hold his own against Lindsey any day (granted they are very different guitarists - Rick plays slide for a start - but both are brilliant in their own right). I do appreciate Lindsey's guitar talent but personally I'd rank him as the third or fourth best guitar player in FM.

I caught a serious Rick Vito bug about a year ago. Though I had several of his early solo albums, my interest sort of waned at some point. Perhaps it was Mick's Blues Again album that put Rick back on my radar. Since then I've sought out all of his subsequent solo albums, including his Lucky in Love/Best of collection. Once I get Rattlesnake Shake my collection will be complete.
I think his most recent album, Mojo on My Side is one of his best. The US version has entirely different artwork than the international issue. In hindsight, I think Fleetwood Mac would have been better off if they only hired Rick. I have nothing against Billy, but three singer/songwriters seems to be the right equation for the band. It would have given Rick more room to establish himself.

Oops. Sorry Jeremy.
He a difficult one- a better player than he gets credit for. Green, Kirwan, Buckingham/Weston, Vito/Spencer, Mason, Welch, Burnette, Nicks |

Both Fleetwood and Walker also play guitar. Though not sure if Walker ever did with FM.

To each his own, but I am not sure that I would put any of those guys ahead of LB. Sure, they are great " blues" guitar players, but Lindsey's ubiquitous sound and finger picking style are in a realm all unto themselves. Except for perhaps Leo Kottke and Chet Atkins, I can't think of anyone better than Lindsey in that particular art.....
Ricks a totally different style too and the Macs output after he and Billy joined the band reflect that. They were just not the same without LB. Just as Journeys recordings AFTER Steve Perry were not the same ( nor as good) after he left.......... Ther are some die hards that believe the Mac died after Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer and only acknowledge the band before the " white" album. They don't know what they are missing. |
