“This new album is just representative of the culmination of everything that I’ve learned from making solo albums over the last 25 years,” Buckingham said. “I feel like this particular album is the culmination of holding a certain line ethically and idealistically that I’ve managed to maintain for many years.”

He added, “So I’m really excited about this piece of work.”

Lindsey’s next studio effort will be the eighth solo album of original material that he’s released. Buckingham also has released two collaborative albums. The first was Buckingham Nicks, which was recorded with his then-girlfriend and musical partner Stevie Nicks and released in 1973. The duo both joined Fleetwood Mac about a year or so after the album’s release. The second was the album he made with his longtime Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie, which was released in 2017.

Buckingham Nicks was reissued in September 2025 after being out of print for 50 years. The album, which failed to chart when it was first released, debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 when it was reissued.
