Lindsey Buckingham shares “Scream” from upcoming solo album; tour starts today
"Everything on the record is me, for better or worse," says Lindsey Buckingham of his new self-titled album that will be out in just a couple weeks (pre-order it on vinyl). He's just shared a new track from it, the hooky and distinctly Buckingham-esque "Scream," which opens the album.
"Many of the songs on this album are about the work and discipline it takes in maintaining a long-term relationship," Lindsey says. "Some of them are more about the discipline and some of them are more about the perks. 'Scream' is about the perks. It felt very celebratory and it was also very, very simple and short. To the point. It didn’t evolve into some huge thing. It made its case and got the hell out. It just seemed like a good place to start the album, somehow. It’s very upbeat and very optimistic and very positive. It’s a celebration of an aspect of life."
You can listen to "Scream" below. Lindsey Buckingham is out September 17 and you can pre-order it on vinyl in the BV shop.
Meanwhile, Lindsey's North American tour kicks off tonight in Milwaukee and continues throughout September with dates in DC, NYC (Town Hall on 9/16), Charlotte, Atlanta, Knoxville, and more. The tour picks up again December 2 at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles and includes stops in Austin, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Boulder and more. All dates are listed below.
Lindsey was fired from Fleetwood Mac back in 2018 but may have patched things up with Mick Fleetwood, and there's nothing like a global pandemic to make you realize there are bigger problems in the world. Stay tuned.
