Many of the best early '70s Mac compositions were his.Fleetwood Mac are considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time and are rightfully inducted in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. (It's currently not on streaming services, but the upcoming Fleetwood Mac: 1969 - 1974 will finally change that.) Kirwan, perhaps the most underrated member in Fleetwood Mac history, would prove to be the bridge between the Peter Green era and the poppier '70s era, though he'd part ways with the band before their massive breakthrough (and then led a good but often-ignored solo career). Danny Kirwan's contributions underwhelmed compared to the music he had written for Then Play On, but he would get his groove back on the 1971 single "Dragonfly," which sounded like the true successor to his Then Play On contributions and which Peter Green is said to have called "the best thing ever wrote." It's right up there with "When You Say" and "Although the Sun Is Shining" as a hazy, hypnotic, psychedelic folk song and it's a shame that it became such an obscurity. Their first album without him, 1970's Kiln House, saw the return of early guitarist/vocalist/pianist Jeremy Spencer (who was on Fleetwood Mac's first two albums but sat out of much of Then Play On and other singles from the era), and Spencer's Kiln House contributions were often 1950s parodies that sounded regressive compared to the forward-thinking Then Play On. Wonderful' & 'Then Play On' the driving force of Peter Green had deteriorated as he. It's a leap from anything Fleetwood Mac had released before it, and once hard rock and progressive rock became popular in the 1970s, this song would prove to be ahead of its time.Īs we all know, Fleetwood Mac eventually recovered from Peter Green's departure, but it didn't happen quickly or immediately. Profile: Founded in London in July 1967 (by ex- Bluesbreakers members, Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood), 'Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac' instantly became a major force in the UK blues scene, along with their eponymous first album. Kirwan and Green's guitars are in constant conversation with each other, Mick Fleetwood's polyrhythmic percussion livens things up and never relies on a traditional blues beat, and the song eventually evolves into a doomy coda that qualifies as proto-metal. The song uses blues rock as a starting point, but it goes in all kinds of other directions from there. "Coming Your Way," the Kirwan composition that opens the album, sets the tone for it perfectly. It's a masterpiece that blends blues, rock, psychedelia, folk, flamenco, classical, and more (and has stunning artwork), and it's as essential as anything Fleetwood Mac released in the Buckingham/Nicks era but for entirely different reasons. Peter Green's growing interest in psychedelia and folk music and the increased singing and songwriting input from Danny Kirwan - whose contributions were praised and encouraged by Peter - led to Fleetwood Mac's third full-length and first timeless album, Then Play On.
