Episode description

This four-part podcast examines Fleetwood Mac's 1979 album "Tusk" against the supplemental "The Alternate Tusk," made up of new takes and mixes. This polarizing album defied expectations of 'a sequel to the world's best-selling record' and holds deeply introspective and personal messages.
"Tusk (Deluxe Edition)" and "Fleetwood Mac Live (Deluxe Edition)" are available everywhere from Warner Records.
Two Tusks is produced by Bryce Castillo and hosted by Bryce C and Jeff S.

Transcript

Two Tusks (Teaser)

Christine McVie

We haven't played anything from Tusk yet.

Archive interview

With Rumours is selling so well, was it a lot of pressure put on the group? The new album was called Tusk.

Ken Caillat

More edgy, more dirty.

Stevie Nicks

But you don't want to die, neither do I.

Lindsey Buckingham

Clearly, it was not what they were expecting.

Christine McVie

Lindsey experimented with his songs in a way that nobody else I ever knew has ever done.

Ken Caillat

If you don't let me do it my way, I quit.

Archive interview

Most of Fleetwood Mac's songs are brokenhearted melodies.

Stevie Nicks

This frail creature is certainly not gonna go down to Fleetwood Mac or anybody else.

Archive interview

Cost over a million dollars to produce; expensive retail price; two discs.

Lindsey Buckingham

People can feel things not only through lyrics, but just through the atmosphere of the track.

Christine McVie

Everything is done for us. Everything.

Mick Fleetwood

People are strong. People are weak. And that's the joy of having someone to bounce off.

Ken Caillat

Find me the biggest, brass sound that you can.

Christine McVie

I think the public needed something like us at the time.

Lindsey Buckingham

I'm just sick of 90% of the stuff I hear on the radio, and I think everyone else is too. Talk about Tusk!
