Fleetwood Mac: Future Games and Show Me A Smile [1971]
from Future Games.
The ongoing Mac attack over at Dream Chimney, combined with a raid of my girlfriend's parents' basement vinyl cache which yielded Future Games, Kiln House and Bob Welch's French Kiss, has led me to explore the mysterious uncharted region that is post-Peter Green/pre-Lindsey & Stevie Fleetwood Mac.
The title track, written and sung by Bob Welch, feels perfect for a cool summer night in a rustic Northern California abode. Show Me A Smile was written and sung by the great Christine McVie.
Engineered by Martin Rushent, who also engineered this as well as all the other classic mid-70's Shirley Bassey albums, before going on to produce the Stranglers. Martin Rushent is now the official engineer of Art Decade.

Art Decade rules.
Rushent?...I don't know...Given your mandate, shouldn't it be Glyn Johns or John Leckie or even Rudy Van Gelder or Tom Dowd?...Think about this one carefully before you rush into anything...

Have you heard "Bare Trees?" Also, "Mission Bell" from Kiln House is a nice track... jack
Hey Jack, thanks for the comment. Yeah, I've got Bare Trees and Kiln House. Kind of slowly familiarizing myself with them. Thanks for the tip on "Mission Bell"...
