In 1975, the new line-up released the self-titled Fleetwood Mac, which has since informally become known as the "White Album" due to its cover (this is not to be confused with The Beatles' White Album).

Fleetwood Mac (formed in 1967) are an influential and commercially successful British/American rock band.
Huge pressure was placed on Fleetwood Mac to release a successful follow-up album, which, when combined with their newfound wealth, led to creative and personal tensions, fuelled by large amounts of drug and alcohol consumption.
The resulting album was Rumours in 1977, in which the band laid bare the inherent emotional turmoil experienced at that time.

 Fleetwood Mac: Fyfeopedia Music Reviews
Otherwise Fleetwood Mac is virtually impeccable; McVie delivers the sweet pop of 'Warm Ways' and 'Over My Head', Nicks contributes the enigmatic 'Rhiannon' (based on Welsh mythology) and the gentle acoustic 'Landslide', while Buckingham bookends the album with the upbeat pop of 'Monday Morning' and the darker 'I'm So Afraid'.
These individual talents set Fleetwood Mac apart from an average pop band; when they add genuine emotion in their next album, they are the equal of any more critically favoured group.
Fleetwood Mac were doing so much cocaine that even the piano tuner took four days to tune the piano and I still don’t think he got it right.

Fleetwood Mac was originally formed as a British blues band in 1967 by guitarist Peter Green, of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Mick Fleetwood (drums), John McVie (bass), and Jeremy Spencer (guitarist).
Since all that Fleetwood Mac required to keep it going were new members with a genuine love for traditional roots and the proper respect for the band's history, their replacement choices, from Christine McVie to Billy Burnette, have represented a triumph of both business and musical savvy.
The decision of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie to abandon Fleetwood Mac's blues-rock heritage to merge with the California soft-rock duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, with Christine McVie serving as the bridge between the two, is one of the more inexplicable masterstrokes in the history of popular music.

In his place, Fleetwood Mac played host to a series of additional front persons, including Christine McVie (then the wife of John McVie) and longtime songwriter/vocalist/keyboardist for the band, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kerwin, Bob Welch, and others until, in 1975, Lindsey Buckingham and his girlfriend, Stevie Nicks, were invited into the fold.
Fleetwood Mac's personnel changes caused them to change direction as often as a telltale in a crosswind, each time allowing them to reevaluate current trends and modify their sound accordingly.
Fleetwood Mac's songs of sexual betrayal, uncertainty, and desire were perfectly suited to the confusion and insecurity that pervaded these times.

This ain't a rockin' album - for Chrissake!
The honour of closing the album goes to him as well, and he sure doesn't let the band down: 'I'm So Afraid' may not be truly outstanding in the melodical sense, but it gives the album a slightly darker and menacing edge: exactly the thing that was needed to compensate for McVie's sentimentalism.

 Storm At Sunup - Gino Vannelli, Music Downloads - Online
Review: In the mid-'70s, Vannelli automatically got to the forefront of R&B due to his soulful vocals and the melodic musical arrangements.
The atmospheric "Love Me Now" perfectly captures Vannelli as one of the more wishy-washy and self-absorbed singers as he croons "take me as I am/the storm in your life." The album's best song, "Keep on Walking" beautifully captures a sense of bleak romanticism as Vannelli turns in a mesmerizing vocal.
The ARP heavy sound that typified his early work shows up on "Love Is a Night," and it has some tricky chord changes as he recounts his conquests.
