It seems fans’ long-held dream may finally be coming true: the legendary Buckingham Nicks album, the sole joint effort from Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, appears poised for a highly anticipated return in the coming days or weeks. Social media has been buzzing with clues, leading many to speculate that this elusive record, which hasn’t seen an official reissue in decades, might be resurfacing in a remastered form – perhaps even making its debut on CD or reappearing across various formats.
Fans abuzz over social media posts
The excitement began building on Wednesday when Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood dropped the first hint, sharing a clip of himself listening to the Buckingham Nicks track “Frozen Love” from his sprawling Maui estate. The intrigue deepened on Friday when Stevie Nicks posted handwritten lyrics from the song, “And if you go forward,” on social media. In a move that sent fans into a frenzy, Lindsey Buckingham swiftly followed up, completing the lyric with his own handwritten “I’ll meet you there.”
Why a Buckingham Nicks reissue makes sense now
With a Fleetwood Mac documentary underway, Stevie Nicks’ arena tour kicking off in August, and the upcoming September 5 anniversary of the original Buckingham Nicks album, the release presents a golden opportunity. A timely reissue of this now classic album would significantly amplify the promotional impact of both the documentary and Nicks’ tour, creating a unifying moment for fans and new listeners alike. Like Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled 1975 album, Buckingham Nicks was crafted with pride at the legendary Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, both albums produced by late producer Keith Olsen.
Will McVie’s passing finally mend rift between Buckingham and Nicks?
It’s no secret that Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks have had a tumultuous history since their 1976 split. Their professional dynamic, at times barely civil and often openly hostile, played out publicly through their songwriting, with each artist channeling their personal feelings into their music. Outside of Fleetwood Mac projects, their estrangement deepened, culminating in Buckingham’s dismissal from the band in 2015. However, the recent passing of Christine McVie in 2022 appears to have spurred a fragile reunion. The lingering question remains: will this newfound truce endure?
