Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the final album to feature visionary guitarist Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac delivered a sprawling, remarkably sophisticated evolution of their heavy blues sound. 'Then Play On' is beautifully melodic and intensely atmospheric, balancing wonderfully warm, deeply passionate blues-rock jams with remarkably melancholic, slightly psychedelic acoustic explorations.
