Fleetwood Mac: The Definitive Story

Evans, Mike, 1941 October 30-. Fleetwood Mac : The Definitive Story, New York : Sterling, c2011.

“Definitive” probably the most apt word to describe this book, which is more akin to a fascinating but not too in-depth coffee table book. Overall, it is a nice overview of the British-American soft-rock legend, Fleetwood Mac, complete with incredible pictures and illustrations throughout—featured on almost every other page. Presenting excessive photos of the band, album covers, tour books, other odds and ends, the London based author, Mike Evans triumphantly tells the tale of Fleetwood Mac in his written-meets-visual combination. If you are new to the band or a long time Fleetwood Mac pack rat, this book represents a 288 page encyclopaedia: each album is given it’s own page with album info (tracks, credits and full cover artwork) including most of the solo albums up through Stevie Nick’s Rock a Little. Along the way, most of the famous stories—sexual affairs within the band, high consumptions of drugs and alcohol, partnership breakup and reconciliations—told.
