BURBANK, CA (Reprise Records) - Lindsey Buckingham will embark on the second leg of his first U.S. solo tour in nearly 14 years on January 12th. Buckingham and his three-piece band present an innovative, tightly orchestrated minimalism that captures the spirit of the
Fleetwood Mac singer and guitarist's most recent solo album, the intricately crafted, acoustic guitar-driven "Under the Skin," which was released by Reprise Records on October 3rd.
The winter dates, which will conclude in February, follow the enthusiastically received six-week autumn leg of Buckingham's nationwide trek, which will resume in March, continue through part of April, and pick up again in June and July. The New York Times praised the artist's October 10th appearance at New York's Town Hall, saying that "the strength of Buckingham's songs, his singing and guitar playing, and his strange intensity as a performer carried the evening," while "his stamina kept the music's energy fresh and volatile." The Chicago Tribune calls Buckingham "an enigmatic rock'n'roll icon" whose tour is "worth the wait."
Critics have equally applauded "Under the Skin," hailing Buckingham's first solo album since 1992's "Out of the Cradle" as "magnificent" (The Washington Post), "a stellar comeback" (Blender), and "a mesmerizing return to the side of Buckingham that birthed the proto-indie pop strangeness of 1979's 'Tusk'" (Rolling Stone).
Buckingham, the acknowledged musical visionary behind Fleetwood Mac, will release a second solo album at the end of 2007 before beginning the planning for a Fleetwood Mac tour in 2008. His recent television appearances include PBS's "Tavis Smiley" and "Soundstage," CBS's "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson," and CMT's "Crossroads," where he appears with country quartet Little Big Town.
