Forty years after their inception in 1967, Brackett recounts the
history of the band Fleetwood Mac, from their blues roots and the
addition of Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks,
to their albums Rumours and Tusk. He also critically assesses their
contribution to rock music, addresses their relationships with each
other and how this affected the band, and looks at specific albums
and songs from each era.
