Description
Turn on the radio or take the time to flip through the stacks of used CDs at your local thrift store. Google "rock 'n' roll music," even. Better yet, visit any public place that plays popular music from the last 50 years or so as the soundtrack to your Saturday afternoon grocery-shopping, clothes-buying or indie record store-scouting experience and you'll find that no matter where you go, there's an ever-enduring presence that since the late 1960s has been a mainstay in the world of pop culture and popular music: a former blues band turned rock 'n' roll atom bomb called Fleetwood Mac.
Though much of the band's popularity stems from their work in the late seventies and eighties, from an era when gas was 50 cents a gallon and singers were their own songwriters, there's a reason why the band has been able to maintain their status as rock 'n' roll royalty even more than 50 years after making their debut as a London-based blues group.
His name is Lindsey Buckingham.
Playing in the Rain explores Buckingham's journey from aspiring rock and roller to solo star, legendary producer, and chief architect of Fleetwood Mac's legacy and global superstardom. In doing so, Playing in the Rain fills gaps in modern conceptualizations of the band and Buckingham's own life and legacy.

This is an excellent biography of an excellent musician. It's very insightful and full of thoughtful, revealing and painfully honest interviews. Any fans of Fleetwood Mac, Buckingham's solo work, or rock and roll history will enjoy reading this.
Kerry O, Reviewer
Finishing PLAYING IN THE RAIN today was a particularly poignant reminder of the loss of Christine McVie last November 30th, especially as her cause of death was revealed. Fleetwood Mac was Rock and Roll royalty and Lindsey Buckingham’s collaboration with bandmates was the catalyst which propelled them there. If you love Rock and Roll, you will love this book.
