Three songs are his, the gorgeous opener Woman of 1000 Years, the even more gorgeous Sands of Time and the somewhat ill-advised country venture Sometimes. The writing of the songs (instrumentals notwithstanding) is divided 3-2-2 between Kirwan, Welch and Christine McVie.įuture Games sees Danny Kirwan emerge as the main writer. Both feature mellow electric-acoustic guitar interplay and lyrical imagery evocative of passing time and the beauty of nature as well as rockers and even a few instrumentals. This line-up released two albums, as follows.įuture Games (1971) and Bare Trees (1972) are essentially two sides of the same coin.
Welch moved into Benifols and got his feet under the communal table. More used to playing R&B than the Mac’s trademark blues sound, Welch was recommended by their long time friend Judy Wong and seemed such a together guy that he was recruited before the rest of the band had even heard him play a note. The replacement guitarist for Jeremy Spencer was American Bob Welch.
Greenie returns to help finish the tour but now the band need a new member… One single and US tour later, slide guitarist Jeremy Spencer quits Mac to join a religious cult. THE STORY SO FAR: Jolted by the loss of leading light Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac have soldiered on, bought a communal home in rural Hampshire, released a very spotty album called Kiln House (1970) and recruited the bass player’s wife on vocals and piano.
