I was in 1st grade when this came out..by the time I graduated high school in 1986, I was going to school with several girls named “Rhiannon”…it’s a beautiful name and song!

Oh girl, you have a Rhiannon sister :) I also named my daughter after this song -- BUT also for the Welsh Goddess that Rhiannon is. The story of Rhiannon is so tragic and then is so sweet.... Tell your Mom you have a Rhiannon sister! :)

Rhiannon is a figure from Welsh mythology. The album was called "Fleetwood Mac" because they basically reinvented itself at this point in their career - they started off as a bluesy band back in the late 1960s. As for the rhythm section, those are the band's leaders, Mick Fleetwood and John "Mac" McVie. Next? "The Chain" - IMO the band's masterpiece. Or "Tusk", their left-field oddity. (PS - don't knock falling in love with a witch!)

I think John McVie's bass line in this song carries the driving undertone thats so infectious....

The Chain is what you must listen to next from Fleetwood Mac ♡

In Welsh mythology, Rhiannon was the goddess of fertility and the moon.

It’s funny how they only think of witch as a horror movie character that wants to kill you 😂😂 Witches are just mystical women, very in tune with their spirituality and nature.

Stevie Nicks wrote both of those songs - Dreams and Rhiannon. Genius. She launched a solo career too in the early 80's because she was writing so many songs (as were the others), that she didn't have an outlet for. She was (is) really successful solo as well. Obviously. Steve Nicks rulez all.

I love the fact that you said Lindsay is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time because he truly is! Great review guys

Like others have mentioned, "Gold Dust Woman" has a similar feel to it and I fully believe you guys would love it just as much. For something really different, you should listen to "Tusk." There's never been another song like it that I've heard. It's interesting that you noticed the blues influence because Fleetwood Mac was originally considered a blues band when it was founded by British artist Peter Green in 1967, who was influenced by American blues artists. Their sound evolved through the years as they changed members several times, but the rhythm section never changed. McVie and Fleetwood are just naturally bluesy players.

Fleetwood Mac was a highly respected blues rock band before Buckingham/Nicks. The Peter Green era is probably the best example of this. You should listen to “Oh Well” or the original “Black Magic Woman” to see what they used to sound like.

Hypnotized by Fleetwood Mac is sooooo good. Just do it. 😄

YESSS!! I still have the vinyl...

That bass line is so good, unique, and a groovy feel that keeps the whole tune movin'.

There always seemed to be "Stevie songs", "Lindsey songs" and "Christine songs". My favourites were usually the Stevie songs, so when she started putting out her own albums, I was in heaven. They are all amazing, however. For me, this was always Fleetwood Mac's first album, as it was the first album with this line-up of musicians. Thanks for this review. They are absolutely wonderful and so are you. I love you guys! :)

Check out Hypnotized (pre- Buckingham / Nicks)

You can't beat John Mc Vie on bass, he always keeps it all held together as everybody else goes all around the world with voice and instrument ,McVie brings them all home again..... Lindsey is my favorite guitarist, and everyone else in as Ryan always says Fire!....

The bass player, John Mc Vie, and the drummer, Mick Fleetwood, have been playing together since the late 60s, so yeah, they're tight.

You guys would definitely get a rise out of Stevie's singing of this song on the Midnight Special. It's quite the famous performance. Iconic.

I agree 100% with all of the "Gold Dust Woman" suggestions...Then next - "The Chain". Great reaction.

Seen this live three times! Life changing.

Such a sublime tune!!! ("She is like a cat in the dark, and then she is the darkness....") I think you guys will also love "The Chain" 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

This song would be nothing without Christine's harmonies.

Gold Dust Woman is a fav of mine by Fleetwood Mac. It also has kind of dark vibes too… definitely put on your list for future reaction.

She is queen of the other world and queen of forgiveness

I was 15 when Rhiannon played on the radio. It was everything.

That bell sound Is keys. Christine McVie on the Fender Rhodes

Saw them in 1978 and they were spectacular!!! Mick is a fabulous drummer!!

Their first album (1968) was also called 'Fleetwood Mac'

When I was learning how to play bass after years on guitar i must say how cool John McVie’s bass playing is

Fleetwood Mac always kills it. One of the greatest bands.

stevie has introduced this song as "about a welsh witch" and rhiannon became a popular girl's name after this became a hit. and yes, the name is welsh lol. the overall sound of FM from this album on is lindsey buckingham's amazing treatment of and ability to arrange their songs to create that magical atmosphere and vibe. lindsey is a superstar 🌟

1974-1977 Were epic years for rock and roll.

One of the things that has always put Fleetwood Mac near the top of great groups for me is the harmonies of Christine, Stevie, and Lindsey. It's hard to pick out the individual voices. RIP Christine.

One of the best albums of,the year in 1975

I've sat right in front of Lindsay on multiple occasions. both w/ FM and solo. You are very correct with your admiration. If you ever have the chance. . . be sure to see him live.

Glad to see how you guys recognizing and appreciating Lindsey Buckingham. An all-time and underrated guitarist, indeed.

This is one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs! Awesome song!!!❤❤❤

One of their best. 🤘🤘🤘

Fleetwood Mac were a blues band before Stevie and Lindsey joined. You should check out some of the original Fleetwood Mac's songs... Also known as Peter Greene's Fleetwood Mac... One of the best chill out songs ever is "Albatross", for songs with vocals I'd recommend "Oh Well".

Love your comments on the rhythm section. mick FLEETWOOD & john MCvie is what makes it Fleetwood Mac😉 They are also the only band members, who made it from start to finish. First, the blues era with Peter Green, then Danny Kirwan, then the mid period with Bob Welch, and finally the Buckingham/Nicks era.

Great!

I believe the electric piano is the wonderful Christine McVie.

The original iteration of Fleetwood Mac was as a straight up blues band (Peter Green) before transitioning into rock.

Mick Fleetwood’s beats are creative while rhythmic they step out of the ordinary,those snare beats are flams 👍🏼

Oh my my…Stevie,Lindsay, Christine, John, and Mick just completely destroyed everything. They were so good and it’s so sad they broke up, but then we wouldn’t have had Stevie on her own, which would’ve been a damn shame! Excellence for sure!!!

Alright guys!!! If you liked Rhiannon, you need to hear "Hypnotized" from the Album "Mystery To Me". It's from an earlier album when Bob Welch was the lead singer...this is my favorite FM song...(and I've seem them twice in concert with Stevie, and twice saw Stevie's solo concerts....the lyrics are kinda spooky, and the music is ....well, you'll find out!!

Yes, I love Hypnotized. God knows I have listened to that song more than 100 times. The dreamy guitar work and Bob Welch's haunting voice are out this world. I doubt that post-bob welch Fleetwood Mac could re-create that atmosphere.

I LOVE FM so much. I've seen them in concert but it was back in the 90's when Lindsey wasn't with them. I've seen Stevie Nicks twice. She is phenomonal. My gypsy Queen 👸 💖 She is my idol. No matter what mood I'm in she has a song that goes with my mood. This song is a song about a Celtic witch. *****You guys MUST watch the 1976 Midnight Special live performance. It is so amazing!****!!! Also, Fleetwood Mac has been through 3 different versions of themselves. They started out as a blues band in England. That is why you are picking up on that blues sound. Stevie & Lindsey had their own thing going on in San Fransisco. Mick Fleetwood learned about Lindsey and offered him a spot in the band in 1974. Lindsey responded with "not without my girlfriend who sings". That was Stevie, of course. Then magic happened and you have a new version of the rock sound of FM. Between Lindsey, Stevie and Christine they wrote so many incredible songs. This one was written by Stevie. Believe it or not with all their amazing songs the ONLY one that went #1 was "Dreams" written by Stevie. I could go on and on. Huge fan here! 😁

Fun Fact: You may have heard Santana's "Black Magic Woman" (if not, well, duh!)... Would it surprise you to know that it was actually first released by Fleetwood Mac?! You were surprised that this was FM's 10th album... that's because they were very different before. They were led by Peter Green, and it was a much more Blues-oriented band. On KZread, you can find a Live version of "Black Magic Woman" by Fleetwood Mac that features Peter, who actually wrote that song,... it is amazingly good!

TWISTED SISTER..THE KID'S ARE BACK..

Next one to do is "Silver Springs" but do the version from their live gig The Dance. Look at the vibe between Lindsey and Stevie during that performance.

Love that you guys are doing FM. Try Tusk if you can or Gold Dust Woman

Another great song our band covered Great harmonies, great beat, great guitar great song

This song is about a Welch witch is how Stevie described it on the Live Version.

Fav FM song!! Glad it's going on your playlists!! 🥳

A refrain mean, "to repeat", and in music can, at times, a refrain can be synonymous with a Chorus, because it is a part of the song that is repeats repeatedly, usually between verses. However, a refrain can be just 1 or more lines that repeat, but it doesn't HAVE to be what's considered THE chorus. To elaborate, "a chorus is a refrain, or a part of a song that is repeated after a verse" (and often contains the song title). A refrain may also be used in the beginning or ending of a song to say the same thing over and over again. I hope that made sense.

you might wanna try the Chain! if you've ever watched F1 in the UK you'll recognise the riff

If you like this one then you will love them doing Sara. Stevie at her best.

the 'tale' I like is that when they were making the transition to this style, one of the previous members said: "this is pretty far away from the blues" and someone said: "yeah, but it's a lot closer to the bank".

LITA FORD.. FALLING IN AND OUT OF LOVE..🤪

Nick, you may already know that the two times Fleetwood Mac toured without Lindsey they had to multiple guitarist to cover just what Lindsey plays. Further proving your point of how great and under-rated he truly is. ALSO, when Stevie sang Flretwood Mac songs on her solo tours she employed several players to cover his parts. Thought it might be a fun fact.

Tight Band!

Fleetwood Mac what can you say. If you love good blues, the two dueling first albums are freaking amazing. Then again almost all their albums are freaking amazing. 💮💮

My favorite version of this song is from "The Dance" tour. Ya gotta see it! When you do, keep in mind, they are decades apart. You're right about Buckingham being underrated. You haven't lived until you've seen him play live.

Awesome song! Check out "Songbird," a ballad by Christine McVie on the "Rumours" album, or maybe Christine's "Say You Love Me" from this same "Fleetwood Mac" album.

Must do live version of this song

"Gold Dust Woman" is fire!

We would all love to watch you react to the live on The Midnight Special🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You should see the live version...Stevie goes off!

Falling in Reverse just dropped a new banger!!! Voices in My Head🔥🔥🔥

The whole album is playlist!! The Rhythm section Mick Fleetwood drums and John Mcvie bass were in the original Fleetwood Mac for years before this album and they were a classic British Blues Band and had one of the most respected guitarists of the time Peter Green.

Fleetwood Mac started as an English blues band, led by Peter Green. Check out songs like Dr Brown. Gary Moore put out 2 blues albums dedicated to Peter Green! Perhaps their masterpiece was a piece of music called Albertros. After Green and another member left the band, Mick Fleetwood, John Macvie and his wife Christine moved to the US. A few new members, then more changes, and eventually the band that became the band most people know.

LITA FORD..BACK TO THE CAVE.. MUSIC VIDEO 🔥

Would also recommend "Gold Dust Woman", but "Silver Springs" live is fíre. Basically the whole of "The Dance" album (which is live from 1997) is top notch. For a Lindsey Buckingham led song that is less mainstream check out "I'm So Afraid" again in particular from The Dance.

Man you need to do the Live Version of Rhiannon, Live at The Midnight Special 76.

Gentlemen! This is very good but the version at Midnight Special in 76 is phenomenal! Stevie Nicks was on 🔥 Fire. I suggest reacting to that if possible. It doesn't get blocked also.

Guys ! You need to hear the live version of that. She really shows off her voice....So powerful ! Lyndsey tears it up on that Guitar solo, and it clashes so beautifully with her voice ! The rhythm section shined .This performance will blow you away. This was their greatest performance ever IMO . It was one of the best perfomances of any group ever. The sound quality was great. It was live on TV. the "Midnight Special "in 1976. It was their studio version ON STEROIDS ! I was there to see that performance .kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKmI3KOhkZTaaJM.html

Wife Speaking,,,Soooo Beautiful...Totally agree about Lindsay Buckingham

Fleetwood Mac were a blues band for at least the first 5 albums, the first four being classic Fleetwood Mac as far as i'm concerned, The first four featuring Peter Green one of my favourite British blues guitarists. Christine McVie joind FM for the fifth album leaving Chicken Shack, also a blues band. Oh and my youngest daughter is Rhiannon, I'm half welsh so both my daughters have welsh names.

Stevie enchants you and that's it...you're done!

Great reaction! I feel blessed to have grown up in the era I did - the greatest music and artists. This song is a masterpiece song and it comes from a great album - Fleetwood Mac's self-titled. Their next album, Rumors, is one of the greatest albums of all time. You can literally react to every song.

I was first introduced to Fleetwood Mac around 1980, instantly became my favorite band and still are. Some suggestions: Gypsy ( Stevie lead vocals) - incredible music video Landslide ( Stevie ) Say You Love Me ( Christine ) You Make Loving Fun ( Christine ) Hold Me ( one of the early MTV videos and blew everything else away on the channel at that time, very creative )

This is a great song and they have many. I think if you haven't done a vid on "the chain" that is one I would suggest by them for sure or "monday morning". Honestly lots to choose from with them. Also I have not seen you do a reaction to my personal favorite band the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band. If you do get around to them then "Blue on Black" is their signature song but "slow ride", "Deja Voo doo" are also excellent.

Can't wait!

Love this song. Try not to think of the "witch" part. 😊 I have sang this in karaoke... Their songs are different from the next, but always hit. Love Stevie's voice! You are so right about Lindsay!!!Musically they are one of the GOATs!!! Fun to see Ryan react @ 6:56 - swaying back and forth. You are vibing. It is a more rocking song and he hears something different... 😄 I believe it is how you will be captivated by her (she is seductive). To your point the last lyrics talk about "dreams".

Gold Dust Woman is a great song. They have so many.

CHALLENGE Captain Beyond. If your faces start to melt it's OK to hit the pause button.

THERE ARE SOME GREAT LIVE VERSIONS OF THIS SONG THAT YOU SHOULD REVIEW THAT BLOWS THE STUDIO VERSION AWAY AND YOU CAN OBSERVE HOW GREAT THEY ARE LIVE.

Damn....you need to look at the live version. Even if it's on your own time. She really get kinda in a trance , possessed or something and absolutely rocks. Plus she's really , really pretty damn good lookin .

Fleetwood Mac needed a guitarist. John McVie heard the Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham album and liked it. He asked Lindsey to join the band. He agreed, but only if Stevie could join as well. It was a package deal. That began Stevie's involvement with Fleetwood Mac.

"I'm so Afraid" is another great one from this album, but it's best to do a live version from a recent tour, (2013, 2016-ish). Buckingham's solo at the end is epic. Then there are "Gold Dust Woman" from Rumours, and "Sisters of the Moon" from Tusk, which are similar style Stevie songs.

Get the Buckingham-Nicks album from 1973. It gives you the bones for what grew into Fleetwood Mac.

Nice reaction video. It is one heck of a smooth song for sure. You guys should check out Devil Woman by Cliff Richard, great song and was released around this time period as well. Keep up the great work 👍

i love this song

good to see the youngsters study their history... recommended, off the beaten path: "Sons Of Champlin" - Album: 'Loosen Up Naturally' 1969 - Songs: '1982-A', then 'Get High'; after that pick any song on the album. "The Sons of Champlin are an American rock band, from Marin County in the San Francisco-Bay area, formed in 1965. They are one of the 1960s San Francisco bands, along with Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and Moby Grape." If you are interested in another case of underappreciated 'san francisco sound' greatness, I think you would appreciate the band/album "It's a Beautiful Day" (1969) and the songs 'Hot Summer Day' (soft), 'Wasted Union Blues' (hard)...(they had a hit with "White Bird" but you can wait on that until or if you decide you want to hear more)
