Fleetwood Mac's seventh studio album, Penguin, marks a significant milestone in the band's history, released in March 1973. This album is the first to feature Bob Weston on guitar and the only one to include Dave Walker on vocals, following the departure of Danny Kirwan. The penguin, a beloved mascot of the band, was a favourite of John McVie, whose fascination with the birds originated from his time living near London Zoo.
Penguin showcases the evolving sound of Fleetwood Mac, with Bob Welch and Christine McVie emerging as dominant forces in the band. The album's tracklist includes memorable songs such as 'Remember Me', 'Bright Fire', and '(I'm a) Road Runner', demonstrating the band's ability to craft catchy and enduring rock music.
Released on 30 March 1973, Penguin is a classic rock and soft rock masterpiece, with a duration of 36 minutes. The album has been re-released by Rhino/Warner Records, allowing fans to experience the remastered sound of this iconic record. With its unique blend of rock and melodic sensibilities, Penguin is a must-listen for fans of Fleetwood Mac and rock music enthusiasts alike.
