While investigating Sound City recording studio in California Mick Fleetwood heard the song "Frozen Love" from the Buckingham Nicks album. By age 13 he became interested in folk music and influenced by banjo methods practiced the energetic style of The Kingston Trio.

As a member of Fleetwood Mac he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2011 Buckingham was ranked 100th in Rolling Stone magazine's 2011 list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". In Fleetwood Mac's heyday Buckingham was known for his fingerpicking guitar style and wide vocal range as well as the famous (sometimes tense) chemistry between himself and former girlfriend and bandmate Stevie Nicks.
