future games

Future Games is the fifth studio album by British rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in 1971. It was their first album with guitarist Bob Welch and the first to feature Christine McVie as a full member. Without the 1950s leanings of departed guitarist Jeremy Spencer, the band moved further away from blues and closer to the melodic pop sound that would finally break them in America four years later. kirwin and welch 2 of my favorites since green left. ck kirwin's playing and back with p. green as well. a master. welch's voice i dig.
