Fleetwood Mac - Kiln House (1970)

Kiln House was recorded after Peter Green left the band, and rather than rush out and get another hot-shot guitarist, the rest of the group made an album with the remaining line-up. This is an awesome album of 70's British rock made by a band in transition - after this album Jeremy Spencer would quit, Christine McVie would become an official member, and Bob Welch would join, to last for the next five albums. Buckingham/Nicks were five years in the future. Fleetwood Mac was no longer a blues band but a band that played rootsy, rockin' music. Not to mention some of the songs are just beautiful. Greatly aided by the rock-solid rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, the driving forces on Kiln House were the songwriting and guitar playing of Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer. The one song they wrote together, "Station Man", is so damn good and there's guitar bits that really get to me. "Jewel Eyed Judy" also has some heart stopping guitar on it. Oh screw it every song is great in it's own way I love the whole album. In my opinion this is Fleetwood Mac's best album and it's a shame this line-up didn't last long enough to make some more recordings. This is an album that might appeal to people who aren't particularly fond of the blues or pop eras of this great band. My only complaint about this album that I listen to a lot - too damn short!
