Doodle #8 (Saturday 16th January 2021)

During my art school days we went on a rail trip to the Tate Gallery to see a major Pop Art exhibition, which was very influential. I filled up loads of doodle books in 1968 and the one I am currently going through includes this pastiche in the style of Roy Lichtenstein.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon (Early Take) (recorded January 1975, Hollywood CA)
Having been a big fan of British blues band Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, who I'd been lucky enough to see live, I lost interest in them after he left the band in 1970 and as they moved away from the blues. When Lindsay Buckingham and his girlfriend Stevie Nicks were drafted in as a job lot to front the band my disdain was total. They had even become the kind of band of whom Whispering Bob Harris would approve, and that can never be a good thing.
The problem was that, viewed as a new entity, a largely American band that happened to have a British rhythm section, the songs were annoyingly melodic and memorable, well played, catchy and infectious. Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win) was probably the first to win me over, and I now own the album Fleetwood Mac and others. This early version comes from a deluxe edition of the album. A different performance with far fewer overdubs.
According to Wikipedia, "Nicks discovered the Rhiannon character in the early 1970s through a novel called Triad by Mary Bartlet Leader. The novel is about a woman named Branwen who is possessed by another woman named Rhiannon. There is mention of the Welsh legend of Rhiannon in the novel, but the characters in the novel bear little resemblance to their original Welsh namesakes (both Rhiannon and Branwen are major female characters in the medieval Welsh prose tales of the Mabinogion).
After writing the song, Nicks learned that Rhiannon originated from a Welsh goddess, and was amazed that the haunting song lyrics applied to the Welsh Rhiannon as well. Nicks researched the Mabinogion story and began work on a Rhiannon project, unsure of whether it would become a movie, a musical, a cartoon or a ballet."
