FLEETWOOD MAC
PETER GREEN, JOHN McVIE, MICK FLEETWOOD, JEREMY SPENCER, DANNY KIRWEN
While most bands undergo a number of changes over the course of their careers,
few groups experienced such radical stylistic changes as Fleetwood Mac.
Initially conceived as a hard-edged British blues combo in the late '60s, the band gradually evolved
into a polished pop/rock act over the course of a decade. Throughout all of their incarnations,
the only consistent members of Fleetwood Mac were drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie
-- the rhythm section that provided the band with its name.
Ironically, they had the least influence over the musical direction of the band.
Originally, guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer provided the band with its gutsy,
neo-psychedelic blues-rock sound, but as both guitarists descended into mental illness,
the group began moving toward pop/rock with the songwriting of pianist Christine McVie

The album itself was released by Blue Horizon after the group's contract with them
had expired, making it one of the best routes in which to explore their mingling of
Chicago and British blues. "Albatross," "Black Magic Woman," and
"I Believe My Time Ain't Long" are timeless Fleetwood Mac standards, representing
some of the band's best pre-Rumours work. Anyone who isn't familiar with
Fleetwood Mac's origins should use Pious Bird of Good Omen as a starting point
in investigating the first wave of the band, which will almost certainly lead
to further interests into albums such as English Rose, Then Play On, and Kiln House,
and then into later albums like Bare Trees and Penguin, which reveal subtle
yet effective changes in the band's blues sound. But even aside from its
purpose as a collection, Pious Bird of Good Omen makes for a terrific laid-back
stroll through some of the best British blues music ever made...(AllMusic)
