FLEETWOOD MAC

While most bands undergo a number of changes over the course of their careers, few groups experienced such radical stylistic changes as Fleetwood Mac. Initially conceived as a hard-edged British blues combo in the late '60s, the band gradually evolved into a polished pop/rock act over the course of a decade. Throughout all of their incarnations, the only consistent members of Fleetwood Mac were drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie -- the rhythm section that provided the band with its name. Ironically, they had the least influence over the musical direction of the band. Originally, guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer provided the band with its gutsy, neo-psychedelic blues-rock sound, but as both guitarists descended into mental illness, the group began moving toward pop/rock with the songwriting of pianist Christine McVie

Fleetwood Mac's debut LP was a highlight of the late-'60s British blues boom.
Green's always inspired playing, the capable (if erratic) songwriting, and the general panache
of the band as a whole placed them leagues above the overcrowded field.
Elmore James is a big influence on this set, particularly on the tunes fronted
by Jeremy Spencer ("Shake Your Moneymaker," "Got to Move").
Spencer's bluster, however, was outshone by the budding singing and songwriting skills of Green.
The guitarist balanced humor and vulnerability on cuts like "Looking for Somebody" and "Long Grey Mare,"
and with "If I Loved Another Woman," he offered a glimpse of the Latin-blues fusion
that he would perfect with "Black Magic Woman."
The album was an unexpected smash in the U.K....(AllMusic)
