Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the creative peak of the critically acclaimed Bob Welch era, 'Bare Trees' finds Fleetwood Mac fully abandoning their British blues roots for gorgeously crafted pop-rock. The album is incredibly melodic and wonderfully eclectic, utilizing beautifully soft, highly atmospheric folk-rock textures to evoke a deeply melancholic, wonderfully natural autumn landscape.
