Bare Trees is the sixth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in March 1972. This is their last album to feature Danny Kirwan, who was fired during the album's supporting tour. In the wake of the band's success in the mid-1970s, Bare Trees peaked at No. 70 and achieved Gold status in 1976 and certified platinum in 1988 for selling over a million copies.

Mick Fleetwood was particularly impressed with Kirwan's contributions to the album. 'It's a well-rounded album. Like Lindsey, Danny had the chops with layering techniques, and the ability to know what's right and wrong in the studio.'[1]

Track notes[edit]

'Child of Mine' alludes to Kirwan's biological father not having been part of his life (Kirwan was his stepfather's surname). 'The Ghost' was later re-recorded by Bob Welch for His Fleetwood Mac Years and Beyond, Vol. 2 in 2006, albeit this version was only available on the digital edition. 'Homeward Bound' alludes to Christine McVie's then dislike of flying and touring, also alluded to in her 1997 track Temporary One. 'Sunny Side of Heaven' was an instrumental, which, at the time, was mixed in with some radio station sign-offs.[citation needed] The piece was also performed with Lindsey Buckingham on guitar for some shows in the mid 1970s.[2]

'Bare Trees' shares a theme both with the album's cover photography by John McVie and the closing poem 'Thoughts On a Grey Day'Sentimental Lady' was released as a single. It was later re-recorded by its composer Bob Welch (with Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham backing him) for his solo album French Kiss. Welch would record the song again for His Fleetwood Mac Years & Beyond in 2003. 'Danny's Chant' features the use of wah-wah guitars. The title is somewhat ironic in that the track is largely an instrumental, although it does have rhythmic, non-verbal backing vocals in the mix.

'Spare Me a Little of Your Love' became a staple of the band's live act from 1972–1977. It was also covered by Johnny Rivers on his studio album New Lovers and Old Friends in 1975. Jackie DeShannon recorded a version for her 1972 album Jackie although this did not make the final cut and was not released until 2015. The lyrics for 'Dust' were taken from a poem about death written by Rupert Brooke in 1910[3]. Unlike W H Davies who received a credit for the words to Dragonfly, Brooke was not credited here as his copyright had expired.

The final track on the album, 'Thoughts on a Grey Day', is not a Fleetwood Mac song, but a monaural recorded poem written and supposedly read by an elderly woman, Mrs. Scarrott, who lived near the band's communal home, 'Benifold', in southern England. Bob Welch, however, said in a Penguin Q&A in 1999, 'The spoken thing Mick does about 'Trees so bare' was written, I think, by this sweet old lady that lived near Benifold ... Mick did an affectionate 'schtick' on her to close the album.'[4]

Five of the ten tracks were penned by Kirwan. 'Trinity', another Kirwan song recorded at the sessions, was subsequently released in 1992 on the 25 Years – The Chain box set.
