It should be noted that this is the song list for recentrecent versions of Then Play On. However, the original
version omitted "My Dream," "Oh Well," and one of the "Madge"s. If you ask me, those are some of the strongest
songs on the album. It was reworked later and included all the songs.

REVIEWS:


***
"Then Play On was Green's last album with Fleetwood Mac, and its deviation from pure blues ("Oh Well" segued from a
blistering blues boogie to a near-classical ending) and strong rock contributions from guitarist Danny Kirwan pointed new
directions for Mac." -John Swenson and John Milward, Rolling Stone
