Lindsay Buckingham (of fleetwood mac) has such ridiculous solo music that noone seems to talk about. Specifically his album law and order. Besides the creepy ass cover this album is amazing, and weirdly catchy. Songs like Bwana, How we do it in LA, Mary lee jones and shadow of the west sound like songs from Tusk with the cocaine franticness turned up to 11.

To borrow from the Smiths: “I thought that if you had an acoustic guitar/
Then it meant that you were
A protest singer.”
No more.
The least cliched folk ever. Almost funky.

This song makes me want to go full Heath-Ledger-with-a-marching-band.
It’s the fourth track on John’s fifth album, Slow Dazzle— a record of art rock and noir pop; gloom, glam and gore. Featuring, among others, Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera (then of Roxy Music), and Chris Spedding.
The album opens with an (apparently unappreciated) love letter to Brian Wilson, and ends with a revenge fantasy written after Kevin Ayer’s slept with John’s wife (also presumably unappreciated).
Beyond this point you will find: a psychotic interpretation of an Elvis standard, orchestral torch songs, “dirty-ass rock ‘n’ roll”, murder and misery, snow sports and California wine. Enter with abandon. Welcome to the slow dazzle.

Poet & songwriter best known as the frontman of “Silver Jews,“ and the lesser known “Purple Mountains,“ Berman has a way of exploring the beauty in the darker aspects of life. Berman tragically took his in 2019. He had such a special way with words both as a poet and a songwriter. My favorite song of his, “Famous Eyes” is linked above.
