Editorial Reviews

Mick Fleetwood is best known for his tremendous success as the drummer of Fleetwood Mac, the band he co-founded in 1967. In his downtime from his work with Fleetwood Mac over the past two years Mick got his all-star band together & recorded an album that 'feels like an old friend'. This is Mick's third solo effort. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This review is from: Something Big (Audio CD)

This CD is a mind blower. I actually did not know what to expect when I bought it (this is Mic Fleetwood, you know! Mr. Eccentric himself). However, I was wonderfully surprised.

The CD opens with a monster of a song, "Bitter End." This is a very bluesy, slide guitar song with a huge sound and a wonderful tune/hook. I'll be surprised if this song is not a hit. After this song, the CD moves into great song after great song. Todd Smallwood's vocals are wonderful, they blend well with every song, and he sounds like several great singers from Jackson Browne (who appears on the CD helping on certain songs as performer/songwriter) to Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen all mixed up together.

One of the better songs on the CD is 'Where the Wind Blows' which has a bluesy Bob Dylan/Jackson Brown type sound to it. It is a heavy slow waltz that has a lot of body, a big sound, great drum work and great vocal blending by Smallwood and Lauren Evans. This is one of my favorite songs on the CD (you have to sample it).

Following this tune is a funk rock type song titled "Its Only Money." The Hammond organ in the background really makes this song have some great texture. Every song on this CD is good and has a life of its own. The whole CD is good, so there is not a bad apple in the bunch (this is rare, most CD's have at least one mediocre song - but not this one!)

From blues, to rock, to ballads (like 'Making Other Plans, which has a twist on John Lennon's lyric "Life is what happens when your busy making other plans), this is becoming one of my all time favorite albums. If you like Mic Fleetwood or Fleetwood Mac, then you will most certainly enjoy this album (even though it really does not sound like a Fleetwood Mac album). I highly recommend this CD! Sample it and see for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superior Album - Classic Rock but ALL NEW! WOW!, September 28, 2004

As I write this review of the CD I just received, I noticed Amazon doesn't have song samples yet. A shame becuase if you hear this music, you fall in love with the singers, Todd Smallwood, and Lauren Evans - the killer drumming of Mick Fleetwood and the depth o the songs. Please jump over to AOL or iTunes to sample the tracks until they're up at Amazon and come back here to get a copy! The best CD for this REAL ROCK sound in years. Feels like I've known every song on this album forever. Hats off to a perfectly crafted, totally Rock CD!
