"Lindsey Buckingham hasn&amp;apos;t always felt comfortable balancing Fleetwood Mac with his individual releases. &amp;quot;There was a period of time where there was a level of frustration because the Fleetwood Mac agenda seemed to loom a lot larger . . . I would try to put together material [for] a solo album and there would be some kind of intervention,&amp;quot; he tells Rolling Stone, laughing at the last part. &amp;quot;If you are gonna participate in a band, you&amp;apos;ve got to be a band member in good standing, and you&amp;apos;ve got to think about the needs of the whole.&amp;quot;\r\nThe past few years have been kinder to the singer-guitarist&amp;apos;s solo wanderlust. Following the release of Fleetwood Mac&amp;apos;s last album, 2003&amp;apos;s Say You Will, Buckingham requested time off from the folk greats to work on music alone and released an album, Seeds We Sow, last year. This month, he concludes a solo acoustic tour and digitally releases a live album on November 13th. (Rolling Stone will premiere one cut, Fleetwood Mac&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Big Love,&amp;quot; next week.) After that, he will return to the Fleetwood fold for the band&amp;apos;s massive 2013 tour.\r\n&amp;quot;[In] the last eight or nine years, I&amp;apos;ve had a lot of growth. I sort of caught up on the need to explore the more esoteric side of the palette,&amp;quot; Buckingham explains. &amp;quot;Fleetwood Mac is gonna start rehearsing probably the beginning of February and I&amp;apos;m actually looking forward to it. I miss those guys.&amp;quot;\r\nBuckingham is also interested in recording with the band again, a project he says is on the &amp;quot;back burner&amp;quot; for now but not overruled. &amp;quot;Absolutely, absolutely I would,&amp;quot; he says of creating a new album. &amp;quot;In fact, about six, seven months ago, John [McVie] and Mick [Fleetwood] were over here and we actually cut some tracks, and we did enough for maybe half an album. But you gotta get Stevie [Nicks] on board with that, and at the time, she was really quite caught up in what she was doing . . . but I would love to do that because John and Mick were playing their asses off.&amp;quot;\r\nStill, his band&amp;apos;s famously contentious dynamic has left Buckingham with a sense of humor, not to mention an appreciation for other argumentative artists. &amp;quot;Sometimes I wish we were the Eagles. That&amp;apos;s one thing they&amp;apos;ve always been able to do is want the same thing for the same reasons,&amp;quot; Buckhingham says with a dry laugh. &amp;quot;They probably don&amp;apos;t share the same sensibilities as people and they may not spend much time together, but somehow they&amp;apos;re able to put that aside and get on with the business of doing business, and there&amp;apos;s something to be said for that.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
