Review
After leaving Fleetwood Mac to join a religious cult, Jeremy Spencer was not heard from until the late seventies, when he put together this release. Pleasingly lightweight, nothing here burns with the fire he had when he was a member of the Mac, but nothing grates on your nerves, either. ~ James Chrispell, Rovi| Fledgling (2004 Album by Dert) | |
| Flee (2002 Album by Sound Doesnt Travel Through Nothing) |

flee
IN BRIEF: To run away from.
To flee vice is the beginning of virtue, and the beginning of wisdom is to have got rid of folly.
— Horatius (65-8 BC).
Tutor's tip: A dog should not "flee" (to escape) his owner's "flea" (a parasitic insect noted for its jumping powers) powder application.

Flee is an album by British blues rock musician Jeremy Spencer, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1967–71, and "The Jeremy Spencer Band" (composed of members of the Children of God new religious movement), with particularly strong input from Michael Fogarty. Released in 1979, this is Spencer's third album apart from Fleetwood Mac, and his second recorded while a member of the Children of God.

Background
This was Spencer's first recorded work in seven years, and was musically far removed from his previous work. It showed his continuing preference for parodying other bands; in this case the songs on Side 2 bear a strong resemblance to the contemporary sound of Fleetwood Mac, i.e. a breezy Californian rock style with female vocalists, and a solid thumping drum sound reminiscent of Mick Fleetwood. A coincidence seems unlikely given Spencer's past membership of that band, with the fact that his female backing vocalists are credited as "The Songbirds" – "Songbird" was a very popular Fleetwood Mac song from the Rumours album just a couple of years earlier.
Spencer and Fogarty sang on several tracks, but for the hit single "Cool Breeze", the lead vocal was taken by Jeanne Hendricks. Hendricks performed on a number of tracks, and was featured in the album photographs, but was not credited as a vocalist. She also sang with Spencer on the follow-up single, "Travellin'".
The album features a heavy disco treatment given to the songs on Side 1, which Spencer was very unhappy with.[2] "Sunshine" was a reworking of "When I Looked to See the Sunshine" from the Jeremy Spencer and the Children album of 1972.
"Cool Breeze" and "Travellin'" were issued as singles in various territories, and "Cool Breeze" charted at Number 21 on the U.S. Billboard Adult Contemporary Charts, although the album was not a commercial success.
