Fleetwood, Mac Help Turn Lindsey Buckingham's 'Screws'

Fleetwood Mac's Lindsay Buckingham will be joined by two of his primary bandmates for his fifth studio disc, the curiously titled 'Gift of Screws.' Fleetwood Mac's namesakes, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, will appear on the follow up to 2006's 'Under The Skin,' which is set to be released on September 16.

The three worked together on a number of new songs, including the title track and 'Wait For You.' Other new titles – written in his home studio and in hotel rooms during his last tour – include 'Great Day,' 'Time Precious Time,' 'Love Runs Deeper,' 'Bel Air Rain' and 'The Right Place to Fade.'

"This album distills several periods of time," Buckingham explained. "It has false starts to make albums, songs that go back a number of years that took a while to find a home and brand-new songs. I wanted to bring it all together in one place. As an artist I'm still, for better or worse, clinging to my idealism and to my sense that there is still much to be said. This album is a culmination of that."

Buckingham, 58, will launch a six-week tour on Sept. 7 in Saratoga, Calif. As for the status of Fleetwood Mac, Buckingham told reporters of a 2009 tour earlier this year, although no additional details have surfaced.
