I won’t lie. Rumours has long been one of my “top ten” albums. And, like many today, it was released before I was born. But to see how the making of the album, the road toward the iteration of Fleetwood Mac that we all know best, and just how it all comes together even now? Well, that makes me want to slap the AirPods in and start the album all over. I could go with rattling the walls and treating neighbors to the concert with the LP and my “you mean you don’t use a soundbar and that’s REAL treble and bass???” system, but it’s hot outside and I don’t wish to cool the yard that much.

But I digress. Seeing how this album and the art that is woven into its every single note and word manages to find a home in hearts of people young enough to be my own kids (ouch) makes me happy. Knowing that this album and this band are seen as the true storytelling artists that they are just brings a smile to my face. And maybe a tear to my eye when I think about Songbird and the woman who wrote it.

I must confess right now that I am a Fleetwood Mac addict. I love the group, so this is a gimme. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who shares my passion. If I could give more than 5stars, I would,
