Cunningham Bird

Cunningham Bird is a full-album cover of the self-titled 1973 debut by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Released in 2024, the project saw Andrew Bird and Madison Cunningham reinterpreting the cult classic track-by-track, moving away from the original's polished pop production toward a more intimate, folk-oriented sound. Recorded with a live-in-the-room energy, the album highlights the technical proficiency of both artists - Bird’s ability to use the violin as a polyphonic rhythmic engine and Cunningham’s sophisticated, jazz-inflected guitar voicings. Critics, including those at AllMusic, noted the album's success in stripping back the '70s artifice to reveal the raw strength of the songwriting. It stands as a significant entry in both artists' catalogs, representing a departure from their typical solo compositions into a shared space of historical curation and vocal interplay.
