About this listen

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.2025 Bryce Castillo & LFGx Music
