fWotD Episode 2539: Rumours (album) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Wednesday, 17 April 2024 is Rumours (album).Rumours is the eleventh studio album by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 4 February 1977 in the United States and on 11 February 1977 in the United Kingdom by Warner Bros. Records. Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The recording sessions took place in the aftermath of several relationship breakups among the band members in addition to heavy drug use, both of which shaped the album's direction and lyrics.Recorded with the intention of making "a pop album" that would expand on the commercial success of the 1975 album Fleetwood Mac, the music of Rumours is characterized by a mix of electric and acoustic instrumentation, accented rhythms, guitars, and keyboards, while its lyrics concern personal and often troubled relationships. Its release was postponed by delays in the mixing process. Following the album’s release, Fleetwood Mac undertook worldwide concert tours in support of it. Rumours became the band's first number-one album on the UK Albums Chart and also topped the US Billboard 200. The songs "Go Your Own Way", "Dreams", "Don't Stop", and "You Make Loving Fun" were released as singles, all of which reached the US Top 10, with "Dreams" reaching number one.Rumours was a commercial success, selling 13 million copies worldwide by 1980. It garnered widespread acclaim from critics, with praise centred on its production quality and vocal harmonies, which frequently relied on the interplay among the band's three vocalists, and which has subsequently inspired the work of musical acts in various genres. It won Album of the Year at the 1978 Grammy Awards and received Diamond certifications in several countries, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and the US, in where it is certified 21× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). As of February 2023, Rumours has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.Often considered Fleetwood Mac's magnum opus, Rumours has frequently been cited as one of the greatest albums of all time. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003, and in 2004, Rumours was remastered and reissued with the addition of "Silver Springs", which had been excluded from the original release, and a bonus CD of outtakes from the recording sessions. It was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry in 2017, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress. In 2020, Rumours was ranked 7th in Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:40 UTC on Wednesday, 17 April 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Rumours (album) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Joanna Standard.

Imagine being one of the architects of one of the biggest albums in rock history. It's like winning the lottery. As we know from the Fleetwood Mac story, what was happening behind the scenes on Rumours was as juicy and tasty as the music they were making. Witness to all of it was the great Ken Caillat! He went on to co-produce with Richard Dashut Tusk and Mirage as well before parting ways and parlaying that success into starting several music businesses over the years. Then, his daughter Colbie's massive success has provided an incredible second chapter no one would have predicted. We get into the nitty gritty on this one - the drama, the fights, the business, and the music. Enjoy! www.artistmax.org www.marshmellowskies.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

En este episodio revisamos "Rumours", uno de los títulos más importantes en la discografía de Fleetwood Mac, conversando sobre el éxito de la banda gracias a su lanzamiento, su proceso creativo, las complicadas relaciones entre sus integrantes, entre otros aspectos de esta obra.
Ken Caillat, producer of the Fleetwood Mac album "Rumors" talks to Bob about Christine McVie, and his visit to ABQ this weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Fleetwood Mac, Christine McVie, Ken Caillat, Richard Dashut, and RIP, Christine.
Bob interviews famed music engineer and producer Ken Caillat and Shane Westhoelter of Gateway Financial Advisors on the preservation campaign for the Record Plant in Sausalito, CA where Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and other rock classics were recorded. Ken also talks about his memoir, “Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.” on News Radio KKOBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The final track on Rumours album, Gold Dust Woman, is written by Stevie Nicks. Even though she wrote it before ever joining Fleetwood Mac, the song's vibe fit the band perfectly. Stevie grew up immersed in fairy tale stories read by her mother, and experienced country music on the lap of her grandfather in honky tonk bars across the Southwest. Just like many of her songs, Gold Dust Woman has a sound that's not quite country and not quite rock and roll which was a popular sound emerging out of southern California at the time. In true Ken Caillat and Lindsey Buckingham form, this song is full of obscure "instruments". Can you hear glass breaking throughout the song? Mick Fleetwood was able to use his skill of rhythm on a whole other level for this song. Gold Dust Woman is quintessentially Stevie. The lyrics are meaningful while somehow remaining mysterious, steeped in symbolism represented in little turns of phrases. Later in life, Stevie gives more insight into the inspiration behind the words she wrote. It's always interesting to recognize the initial inspiration of a song in the lyrics, but see that the artist doesn't keep a strict focus on just that one subject. Perhaps that's why her songs are so popular, everyone can hear and relate to what they need to hear and relate to at any given moment in time. Most of the research for this episode was done by reading Ken Caillat and Steven Stiefel's book, Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.
Once again, Christine McVie, is the star of another track on the Rumours album. She was writer, composer, and lead vocalist for Oh Daddy. The song was partially about drummer and bandmate, Mick Fleetwood's pending divorce with wife Jenny, but also a little about the lighting engineer Christine was seeing while recording Rumours. Producer, Ken Caillat, wanted to explore more of the erie, suspicious, dark sounds they used for Dreams earlier in their recording session. Everything depended on Christine's organ, with the spinning Leslie speaker set on slow rotate, turning only a few times a minute. Once again, there's an interesting "mistake" intentionally left in the final edit of the song. Why? We have different opinions as to why. After listening, let us know your opinion. Most of the research for this episode was done by reading Ken Caillat and Steven Stiefel's book, Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.
Christine McVie, keyboardist for Fleetwood Mac, delivers another hit song for the band with You Make Loving Fun. Her distinct vocal runs, tone, and phrasing make it a uniquely Christine song while still maintaining the Fleetwood Mac vibe. It's exciting to hear how the individual differences in style remain consistent to the whole. After her recent breakup with bassist John, sharing inspiration for song ideas must have been awkward. Christine, being focused on the goal of putting out a good album, knew how to spin the truth in order to move the process along. Was this song really about her dog or was it about the lighting engineer she was seeing? You tell me. Most of the research for this episode was done by reading Ken Caillat and Steven Stiefel's book, Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.
Having the ability to write a sentimental love song like Songbird doesn't mean Christine can't write a song driven by anger and attitude. She certainly delivers with The Chain, which was first titled Keep Me There. This song is full of excitement and tension! The tag-out after the final chorus is the band's collective release of nerves, tensions, and frustrations as they tried to get the ball rolling on recording Rumours. Pressure to meet expectations was mounting as their previous album was climbing the American charts and their popularity amongst fans was skyrocketing. They had an unknown, and relatively new to the game producer named Ken who wasn't sure if he was up to the challenge of managing a complicated group of people with a lot to prove. Could they make it to the top, sensing they were so close to the pinnacle of success? When you listen to The Chain, you're instantly transported to the recording studio in Sausalito California where tensions were mounting, frustrations were palpable, and everyone was wondering if they were going to make it. We wished there had been a full band in the room with us while recording this episode. Every instrument and every voice adds to the overall feeling of this song and man, was it fun to pretend we had been in the studio back in 1976. Most of the research for this episode was done by reading Ken Caillat and Steven Stiefel's book, Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.
Songbird was written by Christine McVie to convey her feelings toward recent ex and band mate, John McVie. This song is tender, truthful, and touching and gives insight into the type of person we believe Christine is. There's a story in it's production too of how the environment and mood created by the producer effects the outcome of the song's tone. Christine definitely delivered an emotional performance that "makes grown men everywhere cry", especially John. Since this song was recorded outside the studio with a more live setup, it has a different feel than the rest of the songs on the album. Does it change your overall experience of the album? Initially this song wasn't one of our favorites, but in research and after listening to it alone, and not in succession with the rest of the album, it grew into something we loved. Songbird also proves Christine can write anything...blues, pop, rock, ballads, she is a talented songwriter that can do it all! Most of the research for this episode was done by reading Ken Caillat and Steven Stiefel's book, Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.
When producer Ken Caillait heard Go Your Own Way for the first time he thought it was a "stinker of a song". Call it diligence or call it stubbornness, in the end, their dedication to working and reworking this song made it the second single released from the Rumours album and the band's first top 10 hit in the U.S. Can you guess which line Lindsey wrote that nearly caused Stevie to refuse laying down any vocal tracks? Listen to the story behind the creating and recording of this iconic song. Most of the research for this episode was done by reading Ken Caillat and Steven Stiefel's book, Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.
The thing we love about Fleetwood Mac is their ability to create songs as a full band, as soloists with a backing band, and as a duo with harmonies so tight they are almost indistinguishable. Never Going Back Again is an example of Lindsey Buckingham stretching his solo ability to write and compose. Never going back again is a compilation of 5 different guitar parts, all played by himself, and a bass part played by John McVie but written by Lindsey. Call it a my way or the highway attitude, or call it extreme focused vision - either way, Lindsey Buckingham knew what he wanted with this song and wasn't going to compromise. In this episode hear all about the interesting way this song came to be and maybe learn from Lindsey how to deliver bad news with a delightful tune. You'll also learn how Shawn translated this acoustic guitar driven song to piano. Shawn shares a few tips and tricks for recreating guitar technique and sounds on a piano throughout this episode. We hope you enjoy. Most of the research for this episode was done by reading Ken Caillat and Steven Stiefel's book, Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.
British - American rock group, Fleetwood Mac, released one of the most popular albums of all time in 1977. Rumours solidified the band as a force to be reckoned with and the song Dreams, reminded everyone that Stevie Nicks has a genius for writing simple yet profound songs. Her signature vocals, along with the innovative production of Ken Caillat, made this song the only #1 single from the album. By listening to this episode, you'll find out how they embellished a simple, two chord song, into the thing you'll be humming for the rest of your day. It's a great song to learn if you're a beginner on the piano. If you're a pro - Shawn added the other instruments into his arrangement.

Fleetwood Mac's Rumors album, released in February of 1977, created a tidal wave of enthusiasm for the band following the earlier release of their self-titled album in 1975. Still fresh to America, with the addition of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham; Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Christine McVie started feeling the pressure to meet the expectations of their new fans. In this episode of Web Piano Teacher's artist series we will break down the first track of Rumors and try to answer why this song is great and what it's contribution was to one of the greatest albums of all time. So much to discuss with this album. Most of the research came from Ken Caillat's book, Making Rumors: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album.
Ever wonder what it's like to work with your ex? The lyrics from every song on Rumours might give you a little insight. Apparently, Lindsey kept the lyrics to the third track, Secondhand News, all to himself until it was time to lay down the vocal tracks. He knew what Stevie's response might have been, and he wanted to avoid a blowup. Other than the drama his lyrics may have created, there's a treasure trove of hidden sounds in this song. We highly suggest listening with good headphones.

Rumours es el undécimo disco de la banda británica-estadounidense de rock Fleetwood Mac, ganador de un premio Grammy, y del que se han vendido más de 40 millones de copias en todo el mundo, siendo uno de los álbumes de mayores ventas de todos los tiempos.5 Fue el undécimo álbum de estudio del grupo, grabado en 1976 y producido por la misma banda junto a Ken Caillat y Richard Dashut. Se publicó en febrero de 1977 a través de Warner Bros. Records y figuró como su disco más vendido según la publicación estadounidense Billboard 200 durante 31 semanas distintas, y de la lista de álbumes del Reino Unido en enero de 1978. De él se extrajeron los sencillos «Go Your Own Way», «Don't Stop», «Dreams» y «You Make Loving Fun». La banda quería explotar el éxito comercial conseguido con su disco homónimo de 1975, pero también tuvieron amenazas de ruptura desde incluso antes de comenzar la grabación. Las sesiones de grabación de Rumours estuvieron marcadas por el comportamiento hedonista y los conflictos personales entre los miembros de la banda; estas experiencias marcan las letras del disco.6 Con una clara influencia pop, las pistas del álbum se grabaron usando una combinación de instrumentos acústicos y eléctricos. El proceso de mezclado retrasó la conclusión de Rumours, aunque finalmente se terminó a finales de 1976. Después de su publicación a principios de 1977, Fleetwood Mac comenzó una gira mundial de promoción. Rumours provocó críticas muy buenas en la prensa especializada, cuyas alabanzas se centraron en la gran calidad de la producción y en las armonías, que a menudo dependían de la interacción de los tres vocalistas. El disco ha inspirado multitud de obras musicales de distintos géneros. Se ha considerado el mejor trabajo del grupo y ha aparecido en diversas listas que repasan los mejores discos de los años 1970 y de la historia.
In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac's epic, platinum-selling double album, 'Tusk', producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up 'Rumours', the biggest rock album of the time.Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn't get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band's Grammy-winning sound.Hernan Rojas's story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet's coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.Purchase a copy through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Get-Tusked-Inside-Fleetwood-Anticipated/dp/149304771XVisit The "Get Tusked" Official Website: https://gettusked.com/Songs Discussed In This Episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5UEfcHsyKJMjQTU52Rcfpn?si=7796527ed7464ceaThe Booked On Rock Website: https://www.bookedonrock.comFollow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonrockpodcastTWITTER: https://twitter.com/bookedonrockContact The Booked On Rock Podcast:thebookedonrockpodcast@gmail.comThe Booked On Rock Theme Song: “Whoosh” by Crowander [ https://freemusicarchive.org/music/crowander]

On 4th February 2017, Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' will be 40 years old! Join us and look back at one of the most loved and best selling albums of all time... Mike is joined by Neil O'Donaghue, Fleetwood Mac fan and the man responsible for www.fleetwoodmac-uk.com. Together Mike and Neil look back on the emotional, heartbreaking and iconic story behind the making of this phenomenal album. Which song was famously dismissed by a prominent radio presenter because he "couldn't find the beat?" What was Stevie Nicks' process when writing and recording 'Dreams'? Why didn't 'Silver Springs' (the 'Rumours' track that never was) make the album and how did it find it's own lease of life nearly twenty years later? Not only that but Mike is also joined by 'Rumours' producer and engineer Ken Caillat! Ken has so many stories from his time in the studio with the band and shares a few with Mike exclusively for 'My Classic Album'. What was Ken's initial reaction to the album in its early stages? Which tracks stand out to Ken as particularly strong 40 years on? What on Earth is Kowlooning? All this and more on this very special edition of 'My Classic Album'.

Caillat gathers his recollections of the year spent in the studio in Making Rumours – the Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album from Wiley Publishing. Incidentally, Caillat is still working – recently helping to guide the career of his daughter, Colbie Caillat to several successful albums. He tells us the unbelievable stories behind many of the great songs on Rumours, and the advice he gave his daughter before she entered the music business.
