LOS ANGELES—Warner Bros. is  optimistic that a tour by singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham’s 10-piece band will ignite fresh sales of Buckingham’s much-lauded 1992 Reprise album “Out Of The Cradle.”

The group, which performed two shows at the Coach House in San
Juan Capistrano, Calif., in December and a concert at the Wiltern Theatre here last month, launches the month-long first leg of a national tour of clubs and medium-sized halls Monday (8) in Solana Beach, Calif. On Tuesday (9), the Buckingham band will be showcased on the half, hour VH1 show “Center Stage”; an hourlong version of the broadcast, co-produced by the cable network and PBS and taped live at WTTW-TV in Chicago, will be aired on the public broadcasting network later this spring. Westwood One aired 90 minutes culled from the group’s Dec- 10 and 11 Coach House performances (Buckingham’s first-ever live solo shows) on its Feb. 27 “Superstar Concert Series” broadcast.

Although two singles from “Out Of The Cradle” failed to chart last year; the company will release a third, “Don’t Look Down,” within the month to coincide with the tour.

Says Buckingham of the tour, “Best-case scenario is that we might pump life into the record, and this is basically what [Warner president] Lenny [Waronker] and Warner Bros. would like to do. I think it’s to their credit that they’re even willing to do that at this point, because it would be just as easy for them to say, ‘Yeah, go out and do the [tour] leg, and then make another album.’ ” Continue reading Buckingham’s Out Of The Cradle Again Lines Up Dates With 10-Piece Tour Band | Billboard →
