Lindsey Buckingham
Fourth Leg of U.S. Solo Tour to Begin June 1st
Singer-Songwriter/Guitarist Touring Behind His Critically Acclaimed Solo Album, "Under The Skin"
BURBANK, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 10, 2007 --
 Lindsey Buckingham embarks on the fourth leg of his first U.S. solo tour in nearly 14 years on June 1st, 2007.
Buckingham and his three-piece band present
an innovative, tightly orchestrated minimalism that captures the spirit
of the Fleetwood Mac singer and guitarist's most recent solo album, the
intricately crafted, acoustic guitar-driven "Under The Skin," which was
released by Reprise Records on October 3rd.
The summer dates, which conclude June 30th,
follow the enthusiastically received autumn, winter, and spring legs of
Buckingham's nationwide trek. The New York Times praised the artist's
appearance at New York's Town Hall, saying that, "the strength of
Buckingham's songs, his singing and guitar playing, and his strange
intensity as a performer carried the evening," while "his stamina kept
the music's energy fresh and volatile." The Chicago Tribune calls
Buckingham "an enigmatic rock'n'roll icon" whose tour is "worth the
wait." The Austin American Statesman says Buckingham "mesmerizes and
gets the crowd moving."
Critics have equally applauded "Under The
Skin," hailing Buckingham's first solo album since 1992's "Out Of The
Cradle" as "magnificent" (The Washington Post), "a stellar comeback"
(Blender), and "a mesmerizing return to the side of Buckingham that
birthed the proto-indie pop strangeness of 1979's 'Tusk'" (Rolling
Stone).
Buckingham, the acknowledged musical
visionary behind Fleetwood Mac, will release another solo album at the
beginning of 2008. His recent television appearances include "Late Night
with Conan O'Brien," "The Ellen Degeneres Show," PBS's "Tavis Smiley,"
"Soundstage," CBS's "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," and CMT's
"Crossroads," where he appears with country quartet Little Big Town. A
special acoustic performance of "Big Love" from this year's Sundance
Film Festival's "Where Music Meets Film" will air on the WE network June
4th at 10pm, featuring Buckingham along with other artists.

Amazon.com: Since his solo
flight from Fleetwood Mac, Lindsay Buckingham has earned the kind of
artistic acclaim for his sparse solo work that many peers have
tried to achieve over the course of a lifetime. Under the Skin, stripped
down to a mostly acoustic base with ethereal vocals and subtle affects,
surfaces as if from a deeper soulful realm that is both magically
fleeting and somehow permanent. It's a deceptively simple album with its
acoustic guitars zinging South American flourishes
here, semi-classical guitar figures there, and country-like riffs.
Both "Show You How " and "Down on Rodeo" beg to be
adapted to the full rock-pop sound he and his former bandmates
created. Buckingham's tempered vocals sound mysterious throughout,
given the ambient production scrim he drops over the record's 11
tracks, including a remake of the Stones' "I'm Waiting" and "It Was
You," with its suggestive Caribbean flavor and soft,
industrial-percussive edge. Strange, alluring, and disarming, it's as if
Buckingham can offer only passing personal glimpses into his own
life and psyche as a father, husband, lover, iconic pop star, and
California songwriter dabbling in but never anchoring himself in one
place for too long. This pleasing shadowplay at times borders slightly
on the self-conscious, but generally, with the quality of such lovely
self-confessional songs like "Cast Away Dreams," Buckingham leaves us
willing to follow him any place, wanting more. --Martin Keller
Product Description: Buckingham's first album in 14 years,
Under The Skin, is a pop masterpiece worth the wait! All tracks were
performed and produced by Buckingham, and all but two were written by
him.
