Fleetwood Mac - Dragonfly

This was Fleetwood Mac's first release after the departure of Peter Green. A, for the want of a better word, 'psychedelic' opus, possibly relating to the departure of Peter Green. The lyrics are taken from a poem by Welsh poet W. H. Davies, also called 'Dragonfly'. Lead guitarist Danny Kirwan played alongside Green previously, here he is complimented by the subtle rhythm guitar of Bob Welch, and the trundling rhythm section of Fleetwood and McVie, of the orignal line up. For those who are interested, other poems by W.H. Davies can be found here http://www.theglade.net/whdavies/whdavies.html.
