Although they were an American stadium band in the 1970s, Daisy Jones & The Six fell somewhat into oblivion. Aurora, the only album released before they popped apart with much drama around 1977, shows that this mixed sextet was certainly not inferior to
Fleetwood Mac. That's not surprising, either, as writer Taylor Jenkins Reid based her story of the fictional band Daisy Jones & The Six on Fleetwood
… Mac's history steeped in relationship drama. The 2019 book was rewritten into a 10-part series starring Riley Keough and Sam Claflin. Aurora is the fictional debut album, sung by the actors themselves. The soft rock sound of the mid-'70s is reconstructed to perfection, with Rumours never far away. Alongside punchy country rock, theatrical relationship ballads dominate, meant to add heft to long, smoky shots full of meaningful glances and moist eyes. (MR)more
