"Coming Your Way" is a song by British rock group Fleetwood Mac, written by Danny Kirwan, which first appeared as the opening track on the band's 1969 album Then Play On. It was issued as the B-side to "Rattlesnake Shake" in various territories. A live recording was also included on the band's 1985 Live in Boston album, which was recorded in 1970 at the Boston Tea Party.^[1]

Background

The original tracking for "Coming Your Way" occurred on 6 October 1968 at CBS Studio on New Bond Street in London.^[2] It was one of seven songs Fleetwood Mac recorded that day along with "Something Inside of Me", "One Sunny Day", "Without You", "Like Crying", "Jigsaw Puzzle Blues", and "Albatross.^[2]^[3] The track, which was labelled "Going My Way" on a tape box, was produced by Mike Vernon and engineered by Mike Ross.^[2] In the liner notes for The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions 1967–1969, Kirwan was credited with vocals and guitar, with Mick Fleetwood listed as playing drums and bongos. Peter Green and John McVie also played guitar and bass respectively.^[2]

"Coming Your Way" was later re-recorded for Fleetwood Mac's Then Play On studio album, with sessions commencing in April 1969 and Martin Birch serving as the band's audio engineer.^[4]^[5] It was one of the first two songs recorded for the album along with Kirwan's "Although the Sun is Shining".^[2]^[4] Martin Celmins, who served as Green's biographer, wrote in The Vaudeville Years that Kirwan played all of the guitars on these songs. Birch believed that this was because Green wanted Kirwan to become more self-sufficient in the studio by recording his own parts.^[6]

On the re-recording of "Coming Your Way", Fleetwood overdubbed some fiberglass conga drums, which he described as being "very flashy". He said that Fleetwood Mac had started to "understand the art of overdubbing" around the time that "Coming Your Way" and the rest of Then Play On was recorded.^[7] Christine McVie, who at the time was known by her maiden name Christine Perfect, also played some piano passages as a guest musician.^[8]

Critical reception

Writing for New Musical Express, Nick Logan highlighted Fleetwood's "racey [sic] congas and tom toms interlaced with [Kirwan's] guitar and vocal."^[9] In a retrospective review, Jeremy McDonagh of PopMatters noted the song's "propulsive percussion" and said that the outro matched the intensity found in Fleetwood Mac's "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)".^[10] In AllMusic's review of the album, Michael G. Nastos thought that the song "not only define[d] the Mac's sound, but the rock aesthetic of the day."^[11] Mark Blake wrote that "'Coming Your Way' stripped the meat off the blues and threw rattling Afro-Cuban percussion, voodoo rhythms and incantatory lyrics into the mix."^[12]
