Recorded in just four days and released in 1968, Fleetwood Mac’s second studio album is a vivid snapshot of the band’s early blues power. Produced by Mike Vernon, it features guest appearances from Christine Perfect (later McVie) of Chicken Shack, Duster Bennett on harmonica, and saxophonist Johnny Almond.
From the opening shuffle of ‘Stop Messin’ Round’ — as loose and electrifying as anything in the band’s catalogue — to the sly wordplay of ‘Lazy Poker Blues’, the record bursts with swagger and soul. ‘Need Your Love Tonight’ broadens the palette with orchestral flourishes, while ‘Love That Burns’ stands among Peter Green’s finest moments, balancing fiery precision with tender restraint. As B.B. King once said, Green’s playing could “give me the cold sweats” — and this album shows exactly why.
