Nightlands — Trouble

from Covers (2011)

The other day I was checking up on Nightlands (aka Dave Hartley) and saw that, 1.) it would appear he’s working on a new LP, which I’m really stoked to hear, and that 2.) he released, some time ago, a recording of his Lindsey Buckingham cover ‘Trouble.’

I am posting it here to commemorate the night I saw him play ‘Trouble’ at Glasslands. I yelled out “best cover ever!” after the song, to which Dave replied “best SONG ever!”

I had a stupid grin stapled to my face the rest of the night.

Fleetwood Mac — That’s All For Everyone

from Tusk (1979)

I know, I know, you’ve heard Fleetwood Mac… but how familiar are you with this amazing Lindsey Buckingham tune? I, for one, am now very familiar with it, after listening to it on repeat for ten or eleven rounds the other day. It’s that fucking good. As is the album—a classic worth revisiting.

Not a lot going on in the chord department, it’s what happens in between that counts. Buckingham’s plaintive humming, the toy xylophone mallet hits on the third and fourth beats, the soaking wet vocal reverb. It’s all there, perfectly produced.

Nightlands live at Glasslands in Brooklyn.

They covered Lindsey Buckingham…my love is complete. Amazing

sweetlights replied to your audio post: Lindsey Buckingham — Trouble from Law and Order…

i hear twin sister chords

which song?

Lindsey Buckingham — Trouble

from Law and Order (1981)

Oh hell yeah.

Here’s a little backstory on Buckingham’s big solo hit:

“Trouble” was the only song on the album that Buckingham didn’t play bass or drums on; his Fleetwood Mac bandmate Mick Fleetwood was brought in to do the drums. Things didn’t work out very well in the recording session, and a taped loop of the drum track, about four-seconds long, was used over and over for the song.

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, looking all doey-eyed. What man would NOT be inspired by this mustache.

Buckingham/Nicks — Stephanie

from Buckingham/Nicks (1973)

Beautiful finger-picked track from the album Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham recorded on an analog four-track in 1972. Then they drove to LA to hunt down a record deal.
