Before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were in Fleetwood Mac, they were Buckingham Nicks and this record is why they were asked to join Fleetwood Mac.
A fun tidbit from Wikipedia: “While the record was a commercial failure for the duo, it led to a career-changing event.Shortly after the release of the album, Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac overheard a presentation of the album cut “Frozen Love” and was impressed. Eventually both Buckingham and Nicks were asked to join Fleetwood Mac, which they did later in 1974.”

She has a new album out called “Come Home To Mama” as well.
