From the publisher’s announcement: All the Songs dives deep into the unique and often fraught recording history of the mega-bestselling and hugely influential rock band. Packed with captivating photographs (some rarely seen) and fascinating behind-the-scenes details, it’s a must-have for any music history fan.
Fleetwood Mac is the one of the most enduring, endearing, and drama-filled bands in rock history whose triumphs, struggles, and music continue to resonate with generations of listeners. This thorough analysis of every track ever released by the beloved rock group follows the band’s many iterations from their self-titled debut in 1968 (when they were known as Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac) to the classic Rumours era featuring the core line-up of Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Stevie Nicks, all the way up to the passing of Christine McVie in November 2022. The writing and recording process of each and every track is dissected, discussed, and analyzed by the authors, through the band’s many breakups and shakeups.
Fleetwood Mac All the Songs draws upon years of research to recount the circumstances that led to the composition of every song the band ever wrote, as well as the details behind their in-studio recording process. The hundreds of photographs include rare black-and-white publicity stills, images of instruments used by the band, and engaging shots of the musicians in‑studio.
