Tango in the Night

About Tango in the Night

Tango in the Night is the fourteenth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Released in April 1987, it is the fifth and to date last studio album from the band's most successful line-up of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, as Buckingham would leave the band later that year. Produced by Buckingham with Richard Dashut, Tango in the Night began as one of Buckingham's solo projects, but by 1985 the production had morphed into Fleetwood Mac's next album. It contains several hit singles, including four U. S. top 20 hits: "Big Love" (No. 5), "Seven Wonders" (No. 19), "Everywhere" (No. 14), and "Little Lies" (No. 4). Two other songs, "Family Man" (No. 90) and "Isn't It Midnight" were also released as singles to less chart success. The cover art for the album was a painting by Australian artist Brett-Livingstone Strong which was hanging in Buckingham's home. The painting is a homage to the 19th-century French painter Henri Rousseau, emulating his colorful jungle theme works such as The Snake Charmer and The Repast of the Lion. It was also used as the cover of "Big Love", the album's first single. The album has sold over 15 million copies worldwide. In March 2017, remastered deluxe editions of Tango in the Night were released, the first a double-CD set and the second a 3CD/1DVD/1-LP boxset more »
