Hello There Big Boy! is an album by British blues rock musician Danny Kirwan, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1968-72. Released in 1979 on the DJM Records label, this was his last solo album. It was finally released on CD in February 2006, albeit only in Japan. Relative to his other albums, few of the tracks on the album were written by Kirwan himself, though Randy Edelman's "You" was the only 'outside' cover.

  • Hello There Big Boy! is an album by British blues rock musician Danny Kirwan, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1968-72. Released in 1979 on the DJM Records label, this was his last solo album. It was finally released on CD in February 2006, albeit only in Japan. Relative to his other albums, few of the tracks on the album were written by Kirwan himself, though Randy Edelman's "You" was the only 'outside' cover. Backing vocalist Tony Rivers provided one; guitarist Kirby Gregory another, and Dana Gillespie co-wrote one with manager / producer Clifford Davis (under his usual pseudonym of Clifford Adams) as well as singing a duet on one of Danny's own songs. "Only You" was an old Fleetwood Mac song given an update - Mac's version had not yet been released at that point, though it can now be found on the Volume 1 of the triple Live In Boston set and the Live At The BBC 2CD set released in 1995. "Caroline" is another of the highlights, written about Danny's ex-wife, and a sad insight into his state of mind at the time. It is not clear how much of the guitar on the album was played by Kirwan, with Gregory and Bob Weston playing on several tracks, although a press release for the album states that Kirwan took the acoustic guitar solo on "Summer Days and Summer Nights". Producer Davis added the work of some 87 outside musicians to the recording, after Kirwan had laid down the basic tracks. On hearing the finished album, Kirwan told Davis that he thought it was "the best thing" he had done. Davis said of the album some years later that it was "so bad... he had to finish it for contractual reasons. I even picked the songs."
