Heroes Are Hard to Find
Fleetwood Mac’s first album as Californians (after relocating to Los Angeles from the UK) and last with guitarist Bob Welch, Heroes Are Hard to Find (1974) is a darker, more atmospheric record. But amidst its murkiness are some real shining moments. Christine McVie’s brassy title track is one of those, as is her “Prove Your Love” and piano-driven “Come a Little Bit Closer,” which features strings as well as slide guitar from Flying Burrito Brother Sneaky Pete Kleinow. Welch’s contributions are just as strong, especially on the folk-pop “She’s Changing Me” and “Angel,” one of the band’s hardest rockers. Where previous members had taken an interest in ’50s rock and blues, Welch was fascinated with UFOs and this comes through in the album’s mysticism, as well as on the song “Bermuda Triangle.” Fleetwood Mac would go on to much greater success after this album, with Welch’s subsequent departure, but he deserves a great deal of credit for laying the foundation.
