<h1><em>Kiln House</em></h1><h2>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h2><h2><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/95/Kilnhouse.jpg" alt="Kilnhouse.jpg"></h2><p><strong><em>Kiln House</em></strong> is the fourth studio album by British <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_rock" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">blues rock</a> band <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleetwood_Mac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fleetwood Mac</a>, released on 18 September 1970 by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reprise_Records" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reprise Records</a>. This is the first album after the departure of founder <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Green_(musician)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Peter Green</a>, and their last album to feature guitarist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Spencer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeremy Spencer</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_McVie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Christine McVie</a> was present at the recording sessions and contributed backing vocals, keyboards and cover art, although she was not a full member of the band until shortly after the album's completion.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiln_House#cite_note-kilnhouse-3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[3]</a>Background</p><p>The album title is taken from the name of a converted <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oast_house" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">oast house</a> in Truncheaunts Lane, near <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alton,_Hampshire" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alton</a> in Hampshire. The house was leased by the band, who lived there communally with their families for a six-month period in 1970. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Fleetwood" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mick Fleetwood</a> married <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Boyd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jenny Boyd</a> at the house on 20 June 1970.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiln_House#cite_note-4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[4]</a></p><p>Spencer, who played on only one track during the recording of the previous album, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Then_Play_On" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Then Play On</em></a>, played a much more active role during the <em>Kiln House</em> sessions. His retro 1950s homages and parodies dominate the album, although <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Kirwan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Danny Kirwan</a>'s songs are almost equally prominent.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiln_House#cite_note-5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[5]</a> "Buddy's Song" is a cover of a song first recorded by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Vee" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bobby Vee</a> in 1963, which itself was a partial cover of "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Sue_Got_Married_(song)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Peggy Sue Got Married</a>" with new lyrics listing a number of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Holly" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buddy Holly</a> song titles. The song is credited to Buddy Holly's mother, who received the writing credit after Buddy's funeral from the original composer, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waylon_Jennings" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Waylon Jennings</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiln_House#cite_note-kilnhouse-3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[3]</a></p><p>An early version of Kirwan's instrumental "Earl Gray", entitled "Farewell", was later released on the compilation <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vaudeville_Years" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Vaudeville Years</em></a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiln_House#cite_note-vaudeville-6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[6]</a></p><p>The album reached No. 69, on the <em>Billboard</em> 200 album chart on 7 November 1970,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiln_House#cite_note-7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[7]</a> and No. 67 in Canada's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_(magazine)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RPM Magazine</a>, December 19, 1970.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiln_House#cite_note-8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">^[8]</a></p><h2><br></h2><p><strong>Fleetwood Mac</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Spencer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeremy Spencer</a> – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">guitar</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_guitar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">slide guitar</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">piano</a>, vocals</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Kirwan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Danny Kirwan</a> – guitar, vocals</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McVie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John McVie</a> – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_guitar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bass guitar</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Fleetwood" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mick Fleetwood</a> – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_kit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">drums</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percussion_instrument" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">percussion</a></li></ul><p><strong>Additional personnel</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_McVie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Christine McVie</a> – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wurlitzer_electric_piano" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wurlitzer 200A</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">piano</a>, backing vocals (uncredited)</li></ul><p><strong>Production</strong></p><ul><li>Producer – Fleetwood Mac</li><li>Engineer – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Birch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Martin Birch</a></li><li>Cover drawing – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_McVie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Christine McVie</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
