Everyone seems to forget the six albums done during the Fleetwood Mac 'wilderness years,' between Peter Green's departure and the arrival of Buckingham and Nicks. Yet,many of the albums were of the highest calibre and Bare Trees was one of them. It features the lovely 'Sentimental Lady' by Bob Welch,who combines well with Danny Kirwan on rythnm and lead guitars. Kirwan is in excellent form,producing the heart-felt 'Child of Mine,' and the haunting 'Dust,' as well as enjoyable rockers 'Bare Trees' and 'Danny's Chant' - and of course 'Sunny Side of Heaven' - a powerful yet soothing composition. Christine McVie is also on top form,producing two very catchy songs - 'Spare Me A Little Of Your Love' and 'Homeward Bound.' The band,of course,would not be without the ever consistent rythmn section of John McVie and Mick Fleetwood,who are the Mac's very essence and soul. On the whole,a very enjoyable album!

"Bare Trees" is one of my favourite mid-period Fleetwood Mac albums because it somehow manages to capture quite successfully, more so than some of the other albums from this era, the transition between the out-and-out blues that the band started with and the AOR that they were moving to.
It's a pleasant album that's well worth hunting out if you became a fan with some of the AOR albums (starting with "Fleetwood Mac" and "Rumours") and are interested in the history. I particularly like the opening track "Child of Mine", which still has hints of a rocky blues, and the ballad "Sentimental Lady" which is absolutely gorgeous and would have graced any of their multi-million selling albums

I got given this album during Fleetwood Mac's 1970's heyday, and at first didn't know what to make of it. Its subdued musicianship and muted sound was a shock after the brash rock sensibility of their eponymous hit, but over the years I grew to love this atmospheric, funky little album, particularly Danny Kirwan's contributions. Bob Welch reprised his "Sentimental Lady" on his first solo album, earning himself a minor hit with it, and deservedly so. Christine McVie's rockier offerings sound a bit subdued, but the wonderful "Homeward Bound" wins through nonetheless, and "Sunny Side of Heaven" and "Dust" (lyrics courtesy of long-dead poet Rupert Brooke) will haunt you forever. Despite the presence of Mr Welch, it's a resolutely English affair, a long way from the West Coast rock that made them famous and which most people are acquainted with. Nevertheless, I liked it enough to buy the CD, and am glad I did.

Very much a grower of an album from the mid period Mac.On 1st listening only Bob Welsh's "Sentimetal Lady" really sticks but gradually the tracks give up a host of hidden pleasures... Read more

More Filler but some Killer
Only the second Mac album where the line-up was the same as the previous one, the group was really finding their feet as a mellower, less blues orientated band. Read more
