Rumours Side A - Yesterday's Gone

Before Tusk, there was Rumours. This two-part podcast examines Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album "Rumours" against alternates and early takes while covering the emotionally treacherous recording process. This pop epic gripped the world with its direct confessions and storied heartaches. Two Tusks unpacks this legendary confessional track-by-track with insights and stories from those recording sessions. Hosted by Bryce C and Jeff S.

Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours (Super Deluxe)," and "Mirage Tour '82 (Live)," and "Live in Boston" are available everywhere from Warner Records. Thank you to the band, crews, and staff for this iconic music.

What is Two Tusks?

1978. Off the back of touring the worldwide sensation "Rumours," Fleetwood Mac are back in Los Angeles to record a follow-up record: the notorious "Tusk." With a state-of-the-art studio and endless creative control, "Tusk" takes the rock-pop band into new, vulnerable places that leave listeners with questions and stories to uncover. Two Tusks unwraps this album track-by-track against unfinished takes from "The Alternate Tusk" with insights and stories from those recording sessions. Hosted by Bryce C and Jeff S. Produced by Bryce Castillo.
