Lindsey came up in a previous post about Dennis Wilson so I thought I'd go with the flow. I have never been a Huge fan, but have always enjoyed his contributions to the musical sphere. I've had this album for a while now and I'm still trying to assimilate and fix in my mind what tracks, if any, resonate. Poppy stuff for sure, but I've certainly heard worse. As is noted below, although this has been released as his latest solo effort, a lot of these tunes have been kicking around for a while. That being said, good music is timeless, so take that for what it's worth. In any case, I'll drop in a few posts and see what you peeps think. This cut has the participation of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.
From the wik:
The album title existed as a solo album set for release in 2001 by Reprise Records. Songs were recorded between 1995 and 2000, some of which were performed and recorded live by Fleetwood Mac for their The Dance album and tour in 1997. They also feature contributions from newly reunited bandmates Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.
Upon presenting the finished album to Reprise, Buckingham was advised to retain some of the material for a forthcoming Fleetwood Mac album. To this end, Buckingham contributed several of the songs towards the 2003 album Say You Will and ultimately his next solo project, Under the Skin, released in 2006.
The title track takes its inspiration from an Emily Dickinson poem, "A Single Screw of Flesh" for those thespians out there. The song was recorded during the sessions for Say You Will but did not appear on the album.
Buckingham mentioned in several interviews upon the release of Under the Skin that his next album was to be more rock-oriented and would possibly feature contributions from Fleetwood and McVie.

I remember hearing this. I like it. Definitely is poppy for sure. Thanks for sharing. I've always been a Fleetwood Mac fan.
Well, this may be off point but What does the poetry of Emily Dickenson have to do with thespianism? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Well sir, you obviously have never been to a play of Ms. Dickenson's more dramatic works. Quite Dickensian, I assure you!
The Dickens you say!
It always interests me to hear what band members do when not with the "band" I like all the mac blues and at least half of the early poppy mac but that was surprisingly bad to my ears, thanks for posting
certainly requires more than 1 listen, that's for sure
