Lindsey Buckingham’s Gift Of Screws In Stores Today


Lindsey Buckingham’s latest album, Gift Of Screws, hits stores today on Reprise Records. Buckingham’s fifth solo album unites the broad appeal he showed as the main musical force behind Fleetwood Mac, with Mick Fleetwood and John McVie providing an unmistakable foundation on several songs.

“What it all means is simple: that Buckingham is not only still relevant, but he’s also a pioneer in terms of craft, execution, and production, and has plenty to teach the current generation about making excellent records and never resting on your laurels. Gift of Screws is a standout even in his catalog.” - Thom Jurek, The Allmusic Blog
