Uncanny

HEAD HERITAGE "It’s [Lindsey Buckingham's] music, melodies and sonic wizardry that are the reason he is sometimes referred to as the successor to Brian Wilson. Not that he sounds like Wilson per se – but he clearly inherited his sense of experimentation. He’s never been afraid to push the limits of what a “pop” song can be, just as Wilson was doing with 'Good Vibrations' and 'Smile.' Buckingham proved that to great effect on Fleetwood Mac’s most adventurous album 'Tusk' and he continues that sense of exploring" on his 1984 solo album "Go Insane."

"'D.W. Suite' is a tribute to Dennis Wilson, who had recently passed away. The song goes through many changes, starting off quietly with echoing backing vocals, briefly shifting into some spacier sections, then some 1950’s-styled gospel refrains and ending up as an Irish folk melody that speeds up until the whole thing comes to a sudden halt. The suite is not about Dennis Wilson but it does reflect some of his expansive approach to music-making as well as Brian Wilson’s of course."
