Gosh yes! I’ve just got in from a works do, feeling a bit confused…and it’s a great great song. Even for someone who thinks he fought the punk wars.
I know I’ll regret this in the morning.
It’s an extraordinary thing, that song, and I appreciate it more the older I get. When I first heard Tusk as a teen, it was all about the Lindsey songs for me. Nowadays, with a bit more life under my belt, Sara and the other non-Linsdey songs make more sense.
And the sound of it, it *is* like a blanket, as you say. Sara is very easy to play on the piano, but it doesn’t sound like that when I play it – the production of it is sublime.
I love it when Fleetwood & Mac kick in, it just takes off, and the bass line really is a thing of beauty. They must be one of the most under appreciated rhythm sections in popular music.
Completely agree. I always remember that it was one of the first albums where the sound had some digital trickery in the studio. Mick’s brushes and John’s subtle bass just perform a beautiful slow dance, a smooch, as we might have called it back then. Mick Fleetwood gets plenty of stick but he’s the best drummer that Fleetwood Mac could ever have had. He doesn’t PLAY this, he floats through it.
