Canadian rock writer Tim Durling has a brand new book available . A Beginner’s Companion to FLEETWOOD MAC. Durling looks over and reviews the band’s entire catalogue, which dates back to the late 60s, long before Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham arrived for the most successful period of the from mid to late 70s. Says Tim – “I tried to cover every original Fleetwood Mac song, which was really confusing in the 1967-69 period but I think I managed it… The idea behind this book is to help the curious new listeners navigate the catalogue.”

The book also includes a list of 100 Fleetwood Mac covers by 100 different artists, as well as a forward by Pete Pardo, and a cool cover drawing by Sally Ann Morgan.

Available in paperback, totaling 151 pages, and available on Amazon for a mere $21 (Canadian) now

LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE SOUND.

Fleetwood Mac: a band with several distinct lives. The hard driving blues of the Peter Green-led lineup. The dreamy soft rock that defined the Bob Welch era of the early Seventies. The turbulent but undeniably potent chemistry of the Buckingham/Nicks years. It all adds up to a confusing but ultimately rewarding catalogue of music.

But where does one begin?
The Sound That Haunts You is author Tim Durling’s attempt to direct the curious listener from the band’s late Sixties beginnings through their more recent recordings in the 21st Century.

Each of the Mac’s studio albums is analyzed and summarized.

You’ll also discover the sheer breadth of artists who were enchanted by Fleetwood Mac’s music enough to cover their songs. Featuring a foreword by Sea of Tranquility host Pete Pardo.

How does a new listener begin to find their way through such a varied and complicated catalogue? Durling provides an easy-reading road map through the band’s 1968 debut album all the way through 2003’s Say You Will, and beyond! Featuring lovely hand-drawn artwork, and photos from the author’s own collection, The Sound That Haunts You is the perfect companion to sitting by your preferred music source, listening to Fleetwood Mac.
