ANDREW BIRD & MADISON CUNNINGHAM – Cunningham Bird – LP – Opaque Orchid Colour Vinyl

LP – Limited Edition Opaque Orchid Colour Vinyl.

Andrew Bird & Madison Cunninghams new album, Cunningham Bird, reinvents the classic 70s gem Buckingham Nicks. With a fresh, modern twist, they blend their distinct folk & indie sounds, creating a compelling homage to the original. Bird’s intricate violin work & Cunninghams soulful vocals transform the timeless melodies, offering both a nod to the past & a vibrant, contemporary flair. Fans of both artists & the original album will find this collab a rewarding journey and ode to a classic.

It’s hard to listen to Buckingham Nicks’ 1973 debut album without trying to imagine it as a prequel to Fleetwood Mac’s legend. It’s hard to listen to this album period, as its out-of-print and not available on any streaming services. Yet it’s that youthful ambition and overindulgence that make it fascinating. The best reason to cover anyone is that little part of you that thinks you might do it better. This album epitomizes excess and confidence, and it only made sense to embody that spirit ourselves. The confidence, that is, to mess with an iconic, if underrated gem.
