Fleetwood Mac: the interviews

Tue, 10/18/2016 - 3:45pm by eapearce

Fleetwood Mac fans will be delighted with the brand new book Fleetwood Mac on Fleetwood Mac: Interviews and Encounters. The book, edited by Sean Egan, compiles over 40 years of interviews with the band members and stories of their lives. Many of these interviews come from rock magazines of the band’s heyday, like Creem, NME and Mojo, but some have never been published before. Band members Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Lindsay Buckingham have always been remarkably candid in the interviews that they give, about themselves and the band as a whole, so this compilation offers a truly in depth look into the lives of each one and the role they played in the creation of Fleetwood Mac’s music and persona. There are 40 total pieces in the book, arranged chronologically, and they span 1967 to 2014, although are certainly focused on the 1970s and 1980s. Egan opens each piece with a helpful paragraph setting the scene for the interview, but from then on the stories are completely unedited, even for corrections (although Egan points them out for readers). Fans of the band will love hearing the dramatic ups and downs of the quintet in their own words, and even casual listeners or fans of just Stevie Nicks will enjoy picking up this book and browsing through.
