  Music supervisor Randall Poster (Moonlight Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums) was one of guys behind last year’s Rave On, a Grammy-nominated tribute to Buddy Holly.

Various Artists Just Tell Me That You Want Me –A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac (Hear) Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Given Fleetwood Mac’s winding history and stylistic diversity that runs from rootsy, psychedelic blues to West Coast dream rock and the sparkly yet occasionally dark and introspective Buckingham/Nicks era folk/pop, it’s no surprise that [...]

Lindsey Buckingham’s summer tour has already been recognized by American Songwriter, but is something worth revisiting because of the musician’s July 27 sold-out performance on Franklin Theatre’s stage.

Dave Stewart was a day away form hopping a plane to Nashville, Tennessee to record an album at Blackbird Studios, when he realized he hadn’t written down any songs. Stewart, a writer and producer, as well as fifty percent of ’80s pop group the Eurythmics, had met with John and his wife, country singer Martina [...]
