Critic Reviews
Show All-
All Music
The album where the band finally defines its post-blues musical personality. Low-key but less narcoleptically mellow
-
Rolling Stone
Guitar tone is piercing but tremulous–powerful but at the same time plaintive, especially in the upper ranges
-
Sputnik Music
Bare Trees was an album which proved every member was as integral to the band's musical evolution as each other
-
Isra Box
Impressive in their use of atmospheric arrangements and so point toward the subtle but effective production choices that would make Fleetwood Mac
-
Super Seventies
With his multiple skills, Kirwan can't help being the focal point. He makes you want to hear these songs again.
-
FYE
Outfitted with a terrific vocal melody, hooks galore, and an impressive tremolo guitar solo
-
Blog Critics
Bare Trees remains an underrated album by Fleetwood Mac.
-
Herald Review
But "Bare Trees," in retrospect, holds up as a superb album.
-
Icon Fetch
An excellent entry into some fantastic, criminally overlooked music.
-
Classic Rock magazine
Bare Trees came closest to the quality of a masterpiece of the plates from these 'intervening years'.
-
Daily Vault
Bare Trees shows Danny Kirwan as he was, Fleetwood Mac as it was and as such is still worth a listen now and then.
-
Clems Music Review
This could be why this is one of their strongest albums in the band's catalog. Without a doubt it's the best effort featuring Bob Welch.

NYD Vinyl
To my ears there are some standout songs on the record
-
Forums Steve Hoffman
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.
-
The Stone Cave
Still not appreciated years later
-
Oldies
Rewarding, well-crafted album that stands on its own merits rather than the Fleetwood Mac legend.
-
Pandora
Traditional early-’70s style, backed up with just enough musical muscle to keep from sounding like weedy soft rock
-
Keno's Classic Rock
The perfect rock album for one to reach for, when looking for a pleasurable diversion from their routine listening.
-
The Moon Underwater
Finally seeing the band letting go of its past and beginning to establish a different sound altogether
-
Captain Stomp
Impressive in their use of atmospheric arrangements and so point toward the subtle but effective production choices.
