Episode 34 - ‘Rumours’ - Fleetwood Mac (1977)

‘Gold Dust Album’

In the midst of affairs, divorces and heavy drug use, Fleetwood Mac headed into the studio in mid 1976 to record their eleventh studio album. 4 out of 5 members were in the middle of breakups (with each other!) and the band were in turmoil - often not being able to be in the same room as one another. 

Yet what came out of those sessions would be crucial to the progression of Pop music as we know it. With stunning production, a variety of popular styles dabbled with and emotional/heartfelt lyrics that people could connect to, ‘Rumours’ would be the seminal Pop album signifying the transition from 70s Rock to 80s Pop.

Laz & Felipe take a deep dive into the mental state of the band as well as identifying and discussing the musical and lyrical content that worked so well in creating one of the best selling and most renowned albums of all time.
