Singled out for NPR's "First Listen," these interpretations of 17 pop songs and dance tunes by one of rock's legendary ensembles come from an array of indie luminaries. Reflecting the constitution of the original foursome, the distaff side gets plenty of airtime, with Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino ("Rhiannon"), Karen Elson ("Gold Dust Woman"), and Lykke Li ("Silver Springs") among the female standouts. "Fleetwood Mac has been making music for 45 years, and its diverse catalog lends itself well to reinterpretation and reinvention…. The unimpeachable 'Landslide,' for example, is covered with maximum sensitivity by the Johnsons' Antony Hegarty, whose hyper-vulnerable warble proves a good match for the song. Elsewhere, Black Dub's Trixie Whitley (daughter of Chris) lends 'Before the Beginning' her powerhouse blues bellow, while Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy give 'Storms' a sweet, suitably shambling reading. Best of all, The New Pornographers' blissed-out take on 'Think About Me'—sparkly, sure, but also a little sad—makes a perfect power-pop throwback, combining the best of everyone involved…. Doing justice to Fleetwood Mac necessitates a lot of bands … a lot of singers and a lot of risk-taking. There's no greater tribute than that."—NPR
