In 1974, the long-running British band Fleetwood Mac joined forces with the members of the American folk rock duo Buckingham Nicks, and that combination quickly became enormously popular, surpassing all previous work by either act. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham had released one brilliant but overlooked album in 1974, which was reissued in September after falling out of print for decades. Fleetwood Mac had been respected on the British blues scene, with minor success on the American charts before a string of hits that included Nicks\u2019s \u201cRhiannon\u201d and \u201cDreams\u201d and Buckingham\u2019s \u201cGo Your Own Way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/11\/5-albums-i-cant-live-without-jorma-kaukonen-of-jefferson-airplane\/\">5 Albums I Can\u2019t Live Without:\u00a0Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/11\/40-greatest-musicians-of-the-last-40-years-40-to-31\/\">THE 40 GREATEST MUSICIANS OF THE LAST 40 YEARS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/11\/my-chemical-romance-uk-openers\/\">My Chemical Romance Set Euro Support Lineup<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"eKw2h_ZFFfY\" style=\"bottom: 0; height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; max-width:100%;\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Fleetwood Mac\u2019s first release with the Buckingham Nicks-enhanced lineup, the 1975 self-titled album, recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. And while the tuneful soft rock on that album was fairly different from the Chicago-style blues that Fleetwood Mac had originally made its name on, the band still acknowledged its roots. One track on the album, \u201cWorld Turning,\u201d was a new song that Buckingham and Christine McVie built on the foundation of one of Fleetwood Mac\u2019s earliest songs. \u201cThe World Keep on Turning\u201d was written and sung by the band\u2019s original frontman Peter Green on Fleetwood Mac\u2019s other self-titled album, their 1968 debut.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"ab1Qk1eWOrc\" style=\"bottom: 0; height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; max-width:100%;\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Green left Fleetwood Mac in 1970 and never rejoined the band, although he did drop in on later lineups in the studio, playing some uncredited guitar on 1973\u2019s <em>Penguin<\/em> and 1979\u2019s <em>Tusk<\/em>. And even after Fleetwood Mac became a huge multiplatinum band, they\u2019d frequently tip their hat to Green in concert, usually by playing the 1969 single \u201cOh Well\u201d or \u201cWorld Turning,\u201d which is also a staple of Buckingham\u2019s solo tours.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-three-more-essential-fleetwood-mac-deep-album-cuts\"><strong>Three more essential Fleetwood Mac deep album cuts:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-ghost\"><strong>\u201cThe Ghost\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before Buckingham and Nicks, Hollywood-born singer-guitarist Bob Welch was the first American musician to join Fleetwood Mac in 1971, recording five albums with the band.
