Musicpost: Lindsey Buckingham's 'Go Insane'

After "Big Love" I was hoping to get one of my favorite Lindsey Buckingham songs: the acoustic version of "Go Insane." Darla came through, and here we have it.

Ironically, when he released this song for his second solo album in 1984, I hated it. And I still hate that rockish-popish version. Then about six years ago, a friend added the acoustic one, which I had never heard, to a CD he was burning for me. Based on the title, I skipped the song every time I played that CD. One day I didn't get to the CD player on time, and I heard the beginning of the song. Boy, was I shocked! I couldn't believe it was the same song.

Over a set of good speakers, the sounds he makes with his guitar and voice are mesmerizing--to me at least. So if you've got them, use them. Enjoy.

Musicpost: Lindsey Buckingham's 'Big Love'

I posted David Cook's song last night thinking it was already tomorrow, but it wasn't, which means we had a couple of songs yesterday and none so far today.

So here's a video submitted by music correspondent Darla of Lindsey Buckingham's live acoustic performance of his song "Big Love."

I believe Buckingham is one of the most underrated artists out there. He's extremely talented yet hardly known among music lovers who weren't around when Fleetwood Mac--the band he and Stevie Nicks fronted--was musical royalty in the 1970s and 80s.

By the way, given my interest in music and the many submissions I'm receiving, I think a song a day (though I haven't always stuck to just one) won't meet the needs of this blog, so we'll be seeing more of these.
