Background
In 1974,
Fleetwood Mac
relocated from
England to California
to manage the band's
affairs better.
In California,
they recorded an album,
Heroes Are Hard to Find,
and set out on tour.
Shortly after finishing the tour,
Bob Welch
(guitarist, singer, and composer)
left the band,
ending
Fleetwood Mac's
ninth lineup
in eight years,
to form the band
Paris.
Mick Fleetwood
met with producer
Keith Olsen
at Sound City Studios
to listen to some demos.
There,
Olsen played
Fleetwood an album
he had recently engineered, titled
Buckingham/Nicks .
Fleetwood particularly enjoyed
the guitar solo
on the song
"Frozen Love",
and decided to hire
both Olsen
and the guitarist,
Lindsey Buckingham.
However,
Buckingham would not accept
Fleetwood's offer
unless he agreed
to also hire
Buckingham's
musical and
romantic partner,
Stevie Nicks,
even though they were
close to breaking up.
After an informal interview
at a Mexican restaurant,
Mick Fleetwood invited
both Buckingham
and Nicks
to join the band,
and this
tenth lineup
of the band
proved to be its
most successful.
Within three months,
the band had recorded
the album
Fleetwood Mac.
