"Although more sparse than previous albums, Tusk is rich and multi-textured. "Tusk" is Fleetwood Mac's "Revolution 9."." - Stephen Holden,, December 13, 1979 But Buckingham's most intriguing contribution is Tusk's title track, an aural collage that pits African tribal drums, the USC Trojan Marching Band and some incantatory group vocals against a backdrop of what sounds like thousands of wild dogs barking. A bit more sophisticated yet still relatively spare, "Save Me a Place" boasts closely harmonized, un-gimmicky ensemble voices and acoustic textures that underline the tune's British folk flavor. These songs have the sound and spontaneity of beautifully engineered basement tapes. "."Not That Funny," "What Makes You Think You're the One," "That's Enough for Me" and "The Ledge" affect a rock & roll simplicity and directness that are strongly indebted to Buddy Holly, an obvious idol of Buckingham's. Tusk peaked at #4 in the US and #1 in the UK and gave the group two US top-ten hit singles "Tusk" and "Sara".
