Fleetwood Mac All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track

All The Songs

by Olivier Roubin, Romuald Ollivier

Fleetwood Mac 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 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 dissection of every album and every song 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 authors Olivier Roubin and Romuald Ollivier, 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. Also featuring hundreds of photographs, including rare black-and-white publicity stills, images of instruments used by the band, and engaging shots of the musicians in‑studio, this is a must-have book for any true fan of classic rock.

After learning the history you realize the blood sweat and tears that go on to make the music. It gives profiles of the band members and production people. It makes all the players more human so you feel the songs more instead of just happening to listen to them on the radio. I wish the chapters would have the album covers to go with the track listings. Lots of pictures that bring the history to life
