Fleetwood Mac are a British/American rock band formed in 1967. It’s members consisted of Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Lindsey Buckingham. Fleetwood Mac’s first album, "Fleetwood Mac", was a no-frills blues album and was released on the Blue Horizon label in February 1968. The album was hugely successful in the UK, hitting no.4, though it did not have any singles on it. The band soon released two singles "Black Magic Woman" (later a big hit for Santana) and "Need Your Love So Bad". The band’s second album, "Mr. Wonderful", was released in August 1968. Like the first it was an all-blues album, but this time they made a few changes. The album was recorded live in the studio with miked amplifiers and PA system, rather than plugged into the board. This method provided the ideal environment for producing this style of music, and gave it an authentically vintage sound. Fleetwood Mac has since released fifteen studio albums and three live albums. In late 2008, Fleetwood Mac announced that the band would tour in 2009, beginning in March. As per the 2003-2004 tour, Christine McVie will not be featured in the lineup.
