Lindsey Buckingham's "Gift of Screws" - 9/16/08
This was referenced a while ago in another thread. Apparently, "Gift of Screws" is an unreleased Buckingham album from the '90s, of which bootlegs have been floating around.
It's finally being officially released on Sept. 16 ( www.lindseybuckingham.com ), but I don't know if it's the new Buckingham album that was rumoured to be in the pipeline for '08. I guess so. Looking forward to it, as I never checked out the bootleg.

I was under the assumption most of the songs originally slated for "Gift of Screws" landed up on "Say You Will" with Fleetwood Mac. I have a few of the songs, and they don't sound all that different. Regardless, I can't wait for more from Lindsey!

Hi, reverie. I believe you were the one who brought up this album in another thread. I also remember the majority of the songs on the bootleg being familiar, which is why I didn't investigate it further last time. But, if you look at the song listing on his website, all of the material is new as far as I can tell:
Gift of Screws Track List:
1. Great Day
2. Time Precious Time
3. Did You Miss Me
4. Wait For You
5. Love Runs Deeper
6. Bel Air Rain
7. The Right Place To Fade
8. Gift Of Screws
9. Underground
10. Treason

His last album, Under the Skin was absolutely brilliant. One of the best albums of this decade. Probably the best thing he's ever done. I have the bootleg Gift Of Screws which includes a lot of tunes from Under the Skin. I will definitely check this out.

Looks like the only similarities between this release and the bootleg is the album title. The track listing is quite different.

I agree that I enjoy "Out of the Cradle" more than "Under The Skin". Actually, it's probably my most favorite of his so far.
Also neat he'll be touring with FM.. I have yet to see them, but I'm not as excited without Christine though. Lindsey's going to be touring, but I can't see spending almost as much to see him as I did on Elvis Costello & The Police combined!
