Two in-depth reviews by ilbani spotlight Buckingham’s solo work: Go Insane (1984) and Out of the Cradle (1992). They frame him as a perfectionist ‘sound architect’ bridging pop sparkle and folk intimacy. Out of the Cradle is hailed for eclecticism and meticulous overdubbing, while Go Insane is lauded as daring and modern. Fleetwood Mac roots and classic pop influences run throughout.
