Personally I'd never heard of this album until a visitor to this blog sent it to me, but never mind, because now I have it I have added it on here for you.
In the absence of having anything to say about this guy or his album, I offer you the following from the All Music Guide.
"The guitarist, vocalist and chief songwriter of Southern California-based band, the Big Wha-Koo, in the late-1970s, Danny Douma released an impressive solo album, Night Eyes, in 1979. Although it featured the all-star accompaniment of Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie on one tune, and Garth Hudson of the Band and Lindsay Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac on another, the album failed to generate much commercial interest. After touring with Fleetwood Mac, as a supporting act, for most of 1979, Douma faded into obscurity. Douma's innovative guitar playing and songwriting were essential to Big Wha-Koo's reputation as one of the spearheads of Los Angeles' rock scene. While Big Wha-Koo was fronted by vocalist David Palmer, who had sung lead on Steely Dan's 1972 debut album, Can't Buy A Thrill, Douma penned most of the group's repertoire." ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide
So now you know. :-)
Our interest, or more specifically the interest of this blog is because the album features four of the FM lineup. Which makes you wonder, where the hell was Stevie Nicks when this album was being done? Back at home in her fairy castle?
For those of you who are interested "Hate You" features Mick, John and Christine with Eric Clapton, and Lindsey on "Beauty Has An Ache". Christine is also listed as "backing vocals" for the album - you can try to work out where.
Further random item of interest - Danny co-wrote with Todd Sharp the song "Who's Dreaming This Dream" which Christine sang on her second solo album.
