Longtime collaborators in Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie have teamed up for their first album as a duo and we have an exclusive first listen to new song Sleeping Around The Corner.
The genesis of the album, entitled Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie and released on June 9, began back in 2014 when McVie rejoined Fleetwood Mac for the group’s On With The Show tour.
The pair went in to record new material prior to rehearsals for the tour and their natural creative chemistry was reignited and according to Buckingham, "We were exploring a creative process, and the identity of the project took on a life organically. The body of work felt like it was meant to be a duet album. We acknowledged that to each other on many occasions, and said to ourselves, ‘what took us so long?!!’"

"We’ve always written well together, Lindsey and I, and this has just spiralled into something really amazing that we’ve done between us," says McVie.
Sessions for the album took place at The Village Studios in Los Angeles, which is where Fleetwood Mac recorded several of their classic albums, including Tusk.
Buckingham and McVie were joined in the studio by fellow bandmates Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, who supplied much of the all-important rhythm section.
