About this album

Then Play On is Fleetwood Mac’s adventurous breakthrough, marking the band’s move beyond straight blues into more expansive, exploratory rock. Released in 1969, it was the first album after the departure of Peter Green-era strict blues purism gave way to a broader, more elastic sound, with Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer helping shape a record that feels restless, elegant and often emotionally unsettled. Built around extended forms and standout pieces such as Rattlesnake Shake and Closing My Eyes, it captures the group at a pivotal moment before the line-up changed again. Widely regarded as one of the defining Fleetwood Mac albums of the late 1960s, it helped set up the band’s later evolution.
