The follow-up album Rumours was beset by the troubles caused by Nicks and Buckingham's relationship as well as John and Christine McVie's divorce but the resulting songs propelled the album to worldwide success and for a time it was the best-selling album of all time.
The first album to feature Nicks and Buckingham, Fleetwood Mac was a rapid success helped by the Nicks-penned hit single Rhiannon. She did not play an instrument on record or stage and Mac only needed a guitarist but Fleetwood complied. Lindsey Buckingham agreed to fill the slot but only on the condition that Nicks be allowed to join with him. It failed commercially but the following year it brought them to the attention of Mick Fleetwood who was looking to replace Bob Welch in Fleetwood Mac. They released an album Buckingham Nicks in 1973 on Polydor Records. Buckingham and Nicks continued as a duo, Buckingham switching to guitar. Nicks wrote her first song I've Loved and I'm Lost and I'm Sad But Not Blue in 1965 and by 1967 had joined the San Francisco based band Fritz with her boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham who played bass and shared lead vocals with her.įritz opened for acts such as Big Brother and the Holding Company but broke up in 1971. 9 Guest appearances on solo albums by Fleetwood Mac members.
