Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band, formed in London in
1967. They have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making them one
of the world's best-selling bands. In 1998, select members of Fleetwood Mac
were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received the Brit Award for
Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2018, the band was declared MusiCares
Person of the Year.
Fleetwood Mac were founded by guitarist Peter Green, drummer Mick
Fleetwood and guitarist Jeremy Spencer. Bassist John McVie completed the lineup
for their self-titled debut album. Danny Kirwan joined as a third guitarist in
1968. Keyboardist Christine Perfect, who contributed as a session musician from
the second album, married McVie and joined in 1970. At this time the band was
primarily a British blues outfit, scoring a UK number one with "Albatross",
and had lesser hits with the singles "Oh Well" and "Black Magic Woman".
All three guitarists left in succession during the early 1970s, to be replaced
by guitarists Bob Welch and Bob Weston and vocalist Dave Walker. By
1974, all three had either departed or were dismissed, leaving the band without
a male lead vocalist or guitarist.
In late 1974, while Fleetwood was scouting studios in Los Angeles, he
was introduced to folk-rock duo Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Fleetwood
Mac soon asked Buckingham to be their new lead guitarist, and Buckingham agreed
on condition that Nicks would also join the band. The addition of Buckingham and Nicks gave the band a
more pop rock sound, and their 1975 self-titled album, Fleetwood Mac, reached
No. 1 in the U.S. Rumours (1977), Fleetwood Mac's second album after the
arrival of Buckingham and Nicks, produced four U.S. Top 10 singles and remained
at number one on the American albums chart for 31 weeks. It also reached the
top spot in various countries around the world. Rumours has sold over 40
million copies worldwide, making it the eighth-highest-selling album in history.
The band went through personal turmoil while recording
the album as both the romantic partnerships in the band (John & Christine
McVie and Buckingham & Nicks) separated, although they continued making
music together.
Station Man
I've been waiting
Can you tell me
When we're leaving
Midnight train
Now is leaving
Engine screaming
ah, ah
ah, ah
ah, ah
ah, ah
Where I'm going I don't know
But you tell me I must go
When we're leaving I don't know
But you tell me now
I see it's coming
And bringing something
This train of lovin'
I see it's comin'
I feel it's runnin'
This train of lovin'
From ages past
Station Man
I've been waiting
Can you tell me
When we're leaving.
