Many call this the greatest record Fleetwood Mac never made. Song for
song, this is Lindsey Buckingham's masterpiece. It is no wonder that he
spent years in his home studio crafting these little works of genius.
By far the best of Buckingham's three solo records, Out of the Cradle
shows huge growth in his songwriting and more jaw-dropping guitar work.
The fact that this album only sold a few hundred thousand copies is a
testament to the sad state of radio in this country (or a lazy record
company). This album is just as much a requirement for serious music
fans as Pet Sounds and Rubber Soul. The only negative -- we have to
wait way too long for his next release. Out of the Cradle is the kind of adult rock record that gets
lost in a marketplace that caters only to a younger audience.
Buckingham developed his songwriting and production skills as the
most-valuable-player in Fleetwood Mac, but as a solo artist he's proven
to be a bit too arty for the mass audience he'd won as a member of Mac.
Out of the Cradle is a sumptuously recorded labor of love that's
as thick with guitars as it is with intricate vocal harmonies.
"Surrender the Rain," billowing with voices, suggests an arty take on
the Beach Boys, while "Soul Drifter" rocks to a seductive beat that's
swaddled with guitars. The entire album is a treat for guitar freaks,
as Buckingham includes instrumental interludes and lavishes as much
attention on the sound of his guitars as most producers spend on the
entire band. Buckingham interrupted work on his followup to this album
for the recent Fleetwood Mac reunion. After all, a man's got to eat.

Lindsey Buckingham Biography
Before he joined Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham was sketching out
his brand of Brian Wilson-influenced pop with Stevie Nicks in the folky
duo Buckingham Nicks. Mick Fleetwood invited the duo to join his band
in late 1974. After Buckingham joined, the band's pop tendencies
flowered under his direction. Not only did he provide the group with
some brilliant, surprisingly dark pop songs, he sharpened the other
members' songs with his production, arrangements, and breathtaking
guitar playing. Buckingham left the band after their 1987 album, Tango
in the Night, to concentrate on his solo recordings, work that had thus
far included 1981's Law and Order and 1984's Go Insane. Out of the
Cradle arrived in 1992, followed by the slow but ultimately rewarding
reunion of Fleetwood Mac in the late '90s. Buckingham then released
Under the Skin in 2006.
While Buckingham's solo albums are
deceptively simple and calm on the surface, there are complex
arrangements and emotions beneath the smooth production. None of them
has sold anything approaching the level of Rumours -- or even Tango in
the Night -- yet they are rich, layered pop albums; his first solo
record, Law and Order, had a hit single with "Trouble," while his
contribution to National Lampoon's Vacation, the infectious "Holiday
Road," has become a cult classic. A two- disc (one audio disc and one
video disc) concert album, Live at the Bass Performance Hall, was
released in 2008.
