Over the years, Fleetwood Mac was many different bands. Only the band's namesakes, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, were the constants. Since they manned the back beat, you can imagine the change in sound when the guitar, keys, and vocals changed every few years.
The band formed in 1967 and was primarily a blues band featuring the great Peter Green on guitar. After three albums in three years, he left the band. It would still be another 5 years or so until Nicks and Buckingham joined the band and their late 70's signature sound would be defined.
1970-74 featured the gradual introduction of Christine McVie to the band and a few other guitarists(Bob Welch, Jeremy Spencer, and Danny Kirwan) holding down the front face of the band.
The first effort of this "transitional era" began to transition away from just blues rock. This track is a tasty little Danny Kirwin song.
