Fifty-one years after Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham first graced the stage at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, Andrew Bird and Madison Cunningham regaled a sold-out crowd with their homage to Buckingham Nicks, a studio album released by the duo prior to the artists joining the legendary band Fleetwood Mac. The September 30 show “Cunningham Bird do Buckingham Nicks,” was the first time many in the audience were able to hear these songs as the original album is out-of-print.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Is “Buckingham Nicks,” the 1973 album that Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks recorded just before joining Fleetwood Mac, a classic album, a lost album, or both? The LP falls into an odd category shared by possibly no other in the world: a record made by superstars that has never been issued on CD or in any digital form, let alone re-released on vinyl. Bootlegs abound, certainly, but more than 50 years have gone by now without any legitimate chance to hear it, except for picking up a copy of the original, which was never manufactured in the mass quantities that a Mac album would have been. The most inexplicable part of all: It’s a great album.

Mike Wass Always introspective and often experimental, Madison Cunningham’s music doesn’t fit neatly into any one specific genre. The Recording Academy, for example, nominated 2019’s “Who Are You Now” for best Americana album, but recently bestowed her “Revealer” with the Grammy for best folk album. This, in itself, is a little mystifying for a project that leans heavily into alt-soundscapes and seemingly owes more of a debt to Fiona Apple than Joan Baez. Not that it bothers Cunningham. ”People like having references,” the 26-year-old tells Variety. “But I would never categorize ‘Revealer’ as folk at all.” When pressed on how she would label it, Cunningham pauses to consider. “I’ve had a hard time really being able to generalize what the sound is,” the California-bred artist says. “It’s electric guitar forward and it’s singer-songwriter. I guess I would categorize it under indie-rock alternative.”
