Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Nothing Bare Here Bare Trees finds Bob Welch and Christine McVie taking an even greater role in the band. They contribute their strongest work to date and Danny Kirwan's work is impressive as well. Ms. McVie's "Homeward Bound" is a superb song that showed her gifts as a songwriter and singer were immense. Bob Welch's "Sentimental Lady" is his signature and is slightly different than the version he had a hit with in 1977. This version has a more pronounced backing vocal from Christine McVie, but in any version it is a gorgeous song. Mr. Kirwan provides the scorching "Danny's Chant" and the somber "Dust". Bare Trees would prove to be his swan song with the band, but he left on a high note. Bare Trees is the finest pre Buckingham-Nicks Mac album and ranks among the finest the band has ever done in any form. Rating: - Danny's Swan Song Bare Trees is the final Fleetwood Mac album to feature the highly talented and vastly underrated Danny Kirwan. His contributions to this album are worth the price of owning it. The title cut, Child of Mine and Dust are some of the best songs he wrote for the band(Dragonfly and Sands of Time are still the best). I've always been amazed at how mature his playing was at his age. The others in the band are hit or miss in my opinion. Bob Welch's Sentimental Lady and The Ghost are good but Christine McVie's material is ho-hum. Her contributions have always seemed overrated for this line up of the band. It's a shame that Kirwans behavior in the group became so bad. The band was in the right to fire him but unfortunately, it hurt them badly musically because as much as I like Bob Welch, he just couldn't carry the band the way Green and Kirwan could. Rating: - The PERFECT road album! The story goes, at least in one version, that Danny Kirwan completely went insane following this record. What a tragedy! I mourn when I remember the golden and shimmering beauty of "Sunny Side of Heaven." When I sing along with the before-its-time hard rock "Danny's Chant." Or when I listen to Christine McVie's "Homeward Bound," her best song ever, and see how her keyboards work inspired his guitar solo. They, and drummer Mick Fleetwood, pushed each other to heights for that song. "Dust," though, showed Kirwan's time wasn't long, with it's dark look at death. This record, by the way, features hot guitar licks on all the songs, and the original (and only good) version of the Bob Welch song "Sentimental Lady." If you are driving down an interstate, particularly in the winter, then this album will resonate with you. It will affect your mood profoundly. It will make you wish this had not been the swan song for Danny Kirwan.
