Stephanie Lynn "Stevie" Nicks (born May 26, 1948) is an American singer and songwriter, best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and a long solo career, which altogether has produced over 20 Top 40 hits. She is one of the few rock artists to maintain a solo career while remaining a member of a successful band. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, she was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
[edit] Biography
Nicks was born at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona to Jess and Barbara Nicks. Her mother fostered in her a love for fairy tales, while her grandfather, a struggling country singer, began teaching her to sing at age four. With her first guitar, at age sixteen, she wrote her first song called "I've Loved and I've Lost, and I'm Sad but not Blue." As a young girl, she had difficulty pronouncing her given name Stephanie, and as a result began calling herself "Stevie". The nickname has stuck with her to this day.
Nicks first met her future musical and romantic partner Lindsey Buckingham while attending Menlo Atherton High School. A few years later the two crossed paths again. Buckingham remembered Nicks' enchantingly unique voice, and along with Javier Pacheco and Calvin Roper they formed a band called Fritz which became popular as a live act from 1968 until 1972. They were the opening act for, among others, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Both Nicks and Buckingham attended San Jose State University in Northern California.
[edit] Albums
[edit] Buckingham Nicks
After Fritz split in 1972, Nicks and Buckingham, by this time involved romantically as well as professionally, continued writing and recording as a duo, producing demo tapes at Buckingham's father Morris' Coffee Plant. They secured a deal with Polydor Records, which was attracted by their melodic, California pop harmonies, and photogenic quality.
After selecting songs from the demo tapes, Polydor released the album Buckingham Nicks in 1973. The album consisted of material written by either Buckingham or Nicks, and contains a rare co-write (the epic "Frozen Love"). The album displayed Buckingham's distinctive guitar work, on both electric and acoustic models (showcasing his finger-picking style), as well as the pair's melodic, attractive vocals. Buckingham's songs veered between blues-rock ("Don't Let Me Down Again"), funk ("Lola (My Love)"), and instrumental folk-inspired odes ("Stephanie," "Django"), while Nicks' material was more pop-inspired ("Crying in the Night") and romantic ("Crystal"). The cover portrait shows Buckingham and Nicks in a topless pose.
The album was not a commercial success, and Polydor dropped them. In a bid to keep the pair financially afloat, Nicks took to waitressing and cleaning jobs (including a stint cleaning engineer/producer Keith Olsen's house) while Buckingham stayed at their home to write. They produced more songs, including "Monday Morning," "I Don't Want to Know," and "Rhiannon," for a planned demo tape to attract record companies for a second album. However, in late 1974, a new opportunity arose.
The debut album Buckingham Nicks caught the attention of drummer Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac. He had heard the album playing while visiting a recording studio in Sausalito, California. The band was looking for a new guitar player, following the departure of Bob Welch who left to pursue a solo career, leaving Fleetwood Mac as a trio with only one songwriter, keyboardist/vocalist Christine McVie. Initially, Fleetwood was interested only in Lindsey Buckingham, but Buckingham stated that he would only join if Nicks was also invited into the group, and the band members agreed on December 31, 1974.
[edit] Fleetwood Mac ("White Album")
Following two weeks of rehearsals, the new-look Fleetwood Mac went into the studio in February 1975 and spent three months perfecting their first album together. Buckingham and Nicks brought some of their most recent material to the table, and the new ensemble released the eponymous Fleetwood Mac in July 1975. Nicks contributed three songs including, "Rhiannon" and "Landslide", originally written for the second Buckingham Nicks album. The album also included a re-release of a song from the 1973 Buckingham Nicks album, the Nicks-penned "Crystal," with a lead vocal from Buckingham.
The team-up between the duo and the band proved successful and revitalised Fleetwood Mac. Nicks and Buckingham brought the band considerable press attention and acclaim, and after a year of non-stop touring, the band enjoyed its first #1 on the Billboard 200 and sold more than five million copies of the album. The 1975–76 live tour showcased Nicks' love of black chiffon clothes and dark mythology, and her raucous, epic live version of "Rhiannon," the band's first bona fide hit single with this line-up, sealed her position as one of the leading women in rock 'n roll.
Fleetwood Mac's rocket to success culminated with the Billboard #1 hit for their eponymous "White Album." The album and ensuing tour brought acclaim and press attention to the band, but it also contributed to the break-up of all three "marriages" in the group: drummer Mick Fleetwood and his wife Jenny, keyboardist/songwriter/vocalist Christine and her bassist husband John McVie, and Buckingham and Nicks (who were never officially married), in a particularly acrimonious split.
[edit] Rumours
Fleetwood Mac's follow-up album, Rumours, began recording in early 1976 and continued until late in the year. Sessions were dogged by faulty drum tracks, disintegrating tapes, and the tension between the band members, which influenced the songwriting. Nicks' contributions were the jaunty, tight harmony "I Don't Want to Know" (intended for a second Buckingham Nicks album in 1974), the dark, mystical "Gold Dust Woman," a diatribe about the dangers of cocaine, the epic, dramatic "Silver Springs," a b-side about her relationship with Buckingham, and the atmospheric "Dreams," which became the band's only Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit single. Other songs written and tried out for the album, but released later, included "Think About It" and "Planets of the Universe."
Rumours was finally released to widespread acclaim in February 1977. It became one of the best-selling albums of all time, selling in excess of 19 million copies in the US alone, and spending 31 weeks atop the Billboard 200 album chart. The ensuing tour was another great success for the band, during which time they all began relationships outside the group.
During this period, Nicks enjoyed a relationship with singer/songwriter Don Henley of The Eagles, which would go on to influence her next batch of songs.
[edit] Tusk
After a successful album and tour in 1977–78, Fleetwood Mac settled down to record their third album with the "classic line-up" in the spring of 1978. Helmed largely by Lindsey Buckingham, he decided to take the album into more experimental territory with odd percussion and arrangements. The band's unorthodox work ethic, and the copious amounts of cocaine, led to the album costing around $1 million, at the time the most expensive album ever made.
After a difficult thirteen months of recording and editing, Tusk was released as a 20-track double album in October 1979. The increased price, unusual nature of the songs, and the fact that it was aired on US radio prior to release, contributed to relatively disappointing sales of around four million copies.
Nicks contributions to the album mainly revolved around her relationships with Don Henley and Mick Fleetwood, and the rumoured abortion of a baby she had conceived with Henley. The slow, mournful, atmospheric "Storms" and piano ballad "Beautiful Child" were rumoured to concern her doomed relationship with Fleetwood, while the Billboard Hot 100 #7 hit "Sara" concerns all the events in Nicks' life in this period, including her relationships, her fame, and her abortion. Nicks also hinted at the sound of her future solo projects on the more rock-inspired "Angel" and the dark "Sisters of the Moon," about her hectic touring schedule. Nicks also attempted to record another up-tempo rock number, "The Dealer," for Tusk, but it was shelved.
Around this time Nicks had her first 'solo' hit, with a duet with Kenny Loggins on "Whenever I Call You Friend." During 1979, while work for Tusk was still ongoing, Nicks began laying down early demos for a projected solo album, and during the exhaustive year-long world tour for the album, in 1979–80, she also continued writing and gathered work for a solo record.
[edit] Bella Donna
By 1979, Nicks became concerned with an increasing backlog of songs dating back to the pre-Buckingham Nicks days that she was unable to record and release with Fleetwood Mac, due to the demands of three different songwriters. During the making and touring of the Tusk album, Nicks began working on demos for a planned solo record, for which a deal was negotiated to set up her own record label, Modern Records, exclusively for solo material—while still maintaining her commitments with Fleetwood Mac.
The earliest band sessions for the album came in April 1980 with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, tracking songs including an early version of "Gypsy." Further work commenced once the Tusk tour ended in late 1980, with sessions lasting from then until the spring of the following year, helmed by Jimmy Iovine and featuring various contributions from Petty and his band.
The album consisted of ten songs; half newly-written and half from earlier eras, but all recorded during the same time frame 1980–81. Newly-written material included "Bella Donna," "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," "Edge of Seventeen," "How Still My Love," and "Outside the Rain," while older material included "After the Glitter Fades" (1972), "Think About It" (1974–75), "Leather and Lace" (1975, originally written for Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter to sing), "Kind of Woman" (1975), and "The Highwayman" (1975).
Nicks released the album, entitled Bella Donna in July 1981. Its lead single "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" was a collaboration with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and it reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other singles included "Leather and Lace" (#6) with Don Henley, "Edge of Seventeen" (#11) and "After the Glitter Fades" (#32). Bella Donna reached #1 on the Billboard 200, and as of 1990 it is certified five times platinum. The short, successful White Winged Dove tour resulted, with Nicks performing many of her Fleetwood Mac songs like "Dreams", "Sara", "Angel" and "Rhiannon"; the aforementioned singles; other Bella Donna album tracks like "How Still My Love"; and non-album tracks like "Gold and Braid", "Blue Lamp," and Petty's "I Need to Know." (The day Bella Donna reached #1 on the Billboard 200, Nicks' best friend, Robin Anderson, was diagnosed with leukemia.)
During the album sessions, Nicks accumulated a number of delicate, solo piano demos, as well as full band songs that remain unreleased, including "If You Were My Love," "The Dealer," and "Julia," as well as "Gold and Braid," which she performed on her first solo tour. Two songs recorded for the album but did not make the final version were released on soundtracks: "Blue Lamp" on the Heavy Metal soundtrack, and "Sleeping Angel" for Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
[edit] Stevie Nicks: Live in Concert
Her concerts on December 12 and 13, 1981, at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles were filmed, and resulted in the release of the now out-of-print one-hour video and laserdisc Stevie Nicks In Concert. The video was also called White Wing Dove in some markets such as Australia.
On the Split Enz documentary Enzology, percussionist Noel Crombie describes a dual US/Canadian tour his band took with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in 1981. Stevie Nicks was present through a part of tour as Petty's guest, though not as a performer. According to Crombie, no one was allowed to enter the hallway when she was present. Nicks and Petty collaborated during 1981 on two duets, "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" and "Insider." During 2006, Nicks made several guest appearances onstage with Petty on his 30th anniversary tour to sing a few duets. At a Hollywood concert, Nicks performed Petty's "I Need to Know" solo.
[edit] Mirage
During 1981, the individual members of Fleetwood Mac continued their careers with solo projects, but at the end of the year they reconvened to record a follow-up to Tusk in France. The album took on a more melodic, commercial sound akin to Rumours, but the band's performances were notably less passionate, and the song quality was arguably not as high. Buckingham's material was more 1950s rock 'n roll-inspired, while Christine McVie turned to piano ballads. Nicks offered "Gypsy," one of the album's hit singles, which was originally tested for her solo album Bella Donna, as well as the country-inspired "That's Alright," written during the Buckingham Nicks days a decade earlier, and the dark, newly-written "Straight Back."
Playing up to the media image of Fleetwood Mac as two sparring, romantically entangled couples, Mirage was released in June 1982 with a cover photo featuring Nicks in the arms of her former partner, Lindsey Buckingham. The album quickly went double platinum and spent a considerable amount of time on the album charts, producing several hit singles. The short Mirage tour took place between September and October 1982, and included Nicks' performance of "Sisters of the Moon", her 1979 Tusk album track and concert encore. This performance has been designated the "speaking in tongues version" by fans as Stevie, entranced in the performance, seems to speak in tongues at the song's climax. The video of this performance is highly collectible.
Other Nicks' songs considered for the album but unreleased include another version of "If You Were My Love," also tried for Bella Donna, and "Smile At You," originally planned for Tusk and finally issued more than two decades later. After the tour, Nicks settled down to record her second solo album.
[edit] The Wild Heart
In the spring of 1983 Nicks worked on her second solo album. Inspired in part by the death of her close friend Robin Anderson from leukemia in late 1982, the album was recorded mostly live and retains a rock-inspired, live quality.
A variety of songs were recorded for the album, but only ten made it to the final version. These included a host of mostly newly-written songs, but the album also featured "Enchanted," originally written during the Buckingham Nicks era and tested for Mirage in 1982, and the melodramatic "Beauty and the Beast," written during the Tusk era. The title song, "The Wild Heart," was also partially written during 1981, and footage exists from a Rolling Stone magazine cover photo shoot where Nicks, while getting her make-up done, sings the work-in-progress to the instrumental line from Lindsey Buckingham's "Can't Go Back" (which featured on Mirage).
Nicks released the album The Wild Heart in June 1983, a year after Mirage and two years after Bella Donna. The album featured much the same cast of musicians and producers, but it also introduced songwriter and performer Sandy Stewart who lent a more synthesised sound similar to that prevalent in early 1980s rock music.
The Wild Heart also went double platinum, reached #5 on the Billboard 200, and featured three hit singles: the Prince-inspired track "Stand Back" (#5), for which Prince played synthesisers, though uncredited; "If Anyone Falls" (#14); and "Nightbird" (#33). In addition, several more songs not released as singles were played on rock radio and made the Mainstream Rock chart: "Enchanted" (#12); "Nothing Ever Changes" (#19); and "I Will Run to You" (#35), another duet with Tom Petty. A lesser-known track, "Beauty and the Beast" featured lyrics devoted to Mick Fleetwood with whom Nicks later admitted to having a short love affair in the late 1970s.
[edit] Rock a Little
Following the tour for The Wild Heart, Nicks commenced work on her third solo album. Originally titled Mirror Mirror, Nicks recorded a host of dark and angry rock songs for the projected album during 1984 and 1985, including "Mirror Mirror," "Thousand Days," "Running Through the Garden," and "At the Fair." However, Nicks was unhappy with the recordings for the song "Mirror Mirror," and instead scrapped the planned album, opting to record a different batch of songs in 1985.
Uncharacteristically, the album featured few Nicks originals, instead relying on co-writes and outside songwriters. The hard-edged "No Spoken Word," atmospheric "Rock a Little (Go Ahead, Lily)," which began life in 1980, and the soft "I Sing for the Things," written as early as 1979, were Nicks' only sole writing credits, collaborating with other writers on remaining material.
Rock a Little, as it was re-titled, was issued to platinum success in November 1985, and showcased a harder-edged Nicks, both in her songs and her ragged vocal performances. The album hit #12 on the Billboard 200, and scored more hit singles: "Talk To Me" (#4), "I Can't Wait" (#16), and "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You", a lyric for The Eagles member Joe Walsh (#60). A solo outing with Tom Petty and Bob Dylan in Australia came after, but Nicks was threatened by Australian authorities with expulsion from the country for not carrying a work permit.[citation needed]
The tour marked a striking point in Nicks' career. Although she had achieved significant critical acclaim, drugs were taking a toll on her performing, limiting her vocal range and pitch severely and changing her on-stage persona. It was at the end of the Australian tour that Nicks checked herself into the Betty Ford Center to recuperate and wean herself off of her all-consuming cocaine addiction.
[edit] Stevie Nicks: Live at Red Rocks
Following the release of Rock A Little, Nicks toured in 1985–86. Widely successful, the tour resulted in a one-hour filmed concert (later released on VHS/DVD as Stevie: Live at Red Rocks) at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado in August, and ended on October 10 in Sydney, Australia.
[edit] Tango in the Night
Echoing work on Tusk, Fleetwood Mac began work on a new album during 1986, helmed by Lindsey Buckingham. The album marked a return to a more commercial radio-friendly pop sound, and was propelled by a string of successful hits from Buckingham, Nicks, and, for the most part, Christine McVie.
Released in April 1987, the album Tango in the Night included Nicks' performance of "Seven Wonders," which reached #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Sandy Stewart (who also co-wrote "If Anyone Falls" and "Nightbird" on The Wild Heart) wrote the song "Seven Wonders," and because Nicks had only listened to the song a few times before recording it, the lines "all the way down you held the line" was misheard by Nicks as "all the way down to Emmeline". This explains Nicks' songwriting credit to the song. Nicks also contributed the ballad "When I See You Again" and the messy "Welcome to the Room...Sara," about her stay at the Betty Ford drug clinic.
Fleetwood Mac had always had personality conflicts, but some believe the tension between Buckingham and Nicks had grown unbearable, leading to Buckingham quitting the group right before their Tango in the Night world tour. Buckingham has never publicly attributed that decision directly to relations with Nicks. In the Fleetwood Mac segment of British TV program Rock Family Trees (broadcast in 1995), John McVie described the confrontation between Nicks and Buckingham at Christine McVie's house in August 1987 as "physically ugly". Nicks admitted that Buckingham almost killed her, after she violently rejected Buckingham's decision to leave the band. After Buckingham chased her through the house and out onto the street and, according to Mick Fleetwood in his disputed autobiography, threw her against a car and strangled her, Nicks warned him that if he killed her and none of the other band members came to get him, her brother Christopher and father Jess would murder him.[1] This interview was held at a time when many of the members of Fleetwood Mac were not speaking; Stevie and Mick had disputed over the use of the song "Silver Springs" (recorded in 1976) for her solo retrospective album in 1991, while Fleetwood intended to premier it on the Fleetwood Mac box set The Chain : 25 Years in 1992, as well as items considered scandalously exaggerated in his autobiography. Therefore, claims over what really happened before Buckingham left in 1987 are very unclear, and have often been misinterpreted and discounted.[1]
Though set back by the departure, Fleetwood Mac eventually toured anyway, replacing Buckingham with Rick Vito and Billy Burnette for the Shake The Cage Tour, from September to December 1987. The set-list included "Stand Back"; this would later be performed on every Fleetwood Mac tour in which Nicks participated. However, the set-list had some major omissions mid-tour (especially "Rhiannon" and "Gypsy"), several shows had to be delayed or canceled and the tour was cut short (particularly, dates in Australia were canceled and European dates were pushed forward to May 1988) due to Nicks' bout with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (in addition to her dependence on tranquilizers). A concert performed at the Cow Palace in San Francisco was taped and later released.
[edit] Fleetwood Mac - Greatest Hits
Tango in the Night had returned Fleetwood Mac to huge critical and commercial success on the tenth anniversary of Rumours. The surge in popularity led to the release of their Greatest Hits album in November 1988. The new line-up recorded two new songs for the release, Christine McVie's "As Long As You Follow" and Nicks' "No Questions Asked". The album, which became a major chart fixture, has sold more than eight million copies to date. The band also released a one-hour Tango in the Night video (later released on DVD) featuring live performances and sound checks from their December 12 and 13, 1987 shows at the Cow Palace.
[edit] The Other Side of the Mirror
In 1988, after the Fleetwood Mac tour ended, Nicks began work on a fourth solo album with producer Rupert Hine. At age 40, Nicks recorded the album in part as an ode to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The recording features imagery of castles, princesses, and burning houses.
After several months of recording and mixing, Nicks released The Other Side Of The Mirror in May 1989 to mixed reviews. It spawned a major hit single, "Rooms On Fire" (#16 on the Billboard Hot 100, [#1 on the Mainstream Rock Radio Chart]]), but this was the only song to make the singles chart; the rock-inspired "Whole Lotta Trouble" and fast-paced "Long Way to Go (#11 in Rock Radio)" achieved some Mainstream Rock radio play. Although sales were not as solid as previous releases, the album nevertheless went platinum. It also includes the single "Two Kinds of Love," a duet with Bruce Hornsby and "Juliet", a new version of the instrumental b-side to Fleetwood Mac's 1987 "Seven Wonders" single, "Book of Miracles". Nicks' voice was more powerful and melodic than on her previous two recordings (solo and with Fleetwood Mac), but it also developed a nasal quality attributed to her cocaine abuse and subsequent dependence on tranquilizers.
The album's other material found Nicks in melodic mood, with the likes of "Ghosts" and the jangly "Fire Burning," and the record also featured the epic Lewis Carroll-inspired "Alice" and a dark, cautionary tale about the end of her drug addiction on the dramatic "Doing the Best I Can (Escape from Berlin)." Nicks also included a whimsical version of Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone (Blue Eyes)."
A tour of the US and Europe from August to November 1989 was modestly successful. Dependent on Klonopin, Nicks later admitted she could not recall much of the tour at all, and the years 1988–94 are widely recognised as Nicks' "wilderness years."
[edit] Behind the Mask
After the release of The Other Side of the Mirror and the ensuing tour, Nicks set to work with Fleetwood Mac on a new album. This was the first studio outing with the new line-up, featuring Vito and Burnette.
Nicks' contributions included the co-writes "Love is Dangerous," "Freedom," and "The Second Time," as well as her self-penned, melodic "Affairs of the Heart." The album, entitled Behind the Mask, was released to mixed reviews in April 1990 and marked the end of the "classic era" line-up and the beginning of a second "wilderness" period for Fleetwood Mac.
The album was certified gold and still hit the Top 20 on the Billboard 200, but it was nowhere near the level of success of previous Fleetwood Mac albums, and it is one of the band's least commercially- and critically-successful albums. After the Behind the Mask tour (on the last night, Buckingham and Nicks reunited to perform "Landslide"), Nicks left the group to concentrate on her solo career, and Christine McVie retired from touring.
[edit] Timespace
On the tenth anniversary of her successful multi-platinum solo career, Nicks' own label, Modern Records, issued a fourteen-song retrospective gathering high points and new material. Released in September 1991, Timespace: The Best of Stevie Nicks (#30 on The Billboard 200) included contributions from Jon Bon Jovi ("Sometimes It's a Bitch", for which a video was shot to promote the compilation), and Bret Michaels of Poison ("Love's a Hard Game to Play"). The third new song, "Desert Angel," was dedicated to the men and women serving in Operation Desert Storm.
Alongside the new material, the album gathered some of her most commercially successful hit singles, including "Edge of Seventeen," "Talk to Me," and "Rooms on Fire," as well as lesser-known album songs such as "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You" and "Beauty and the Beast." The album would eventually go platinum in 1997.
[edit] Clinton Inauguration, The Chain
During the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign, Bill Clinton used the Fleetwood Mac hit "Don't Stop" (written by Christine McVie) as his campaign theme song. The Rumours-era line-up of Fleetwood Mac reunited to perform the song at his 1993 Inaugural Gala, sowing the seeds for a later reunion album and tour.
Fleetwood Mac also released a four-disc box set, The Chain, in November 1992 featuring songs spanning the band's entire career, although focusing much more on the 1975–87 era. The compilation, later also issued as a slimmer two-disc volume, was certified triple platinum in 1998 and featured album tracks, b-sides, alternate mixes, and previously unreleased tracks like "Heart of Stone", "Love Shines", "Make Me a Mask", and Nicks' co-write "Paper Doll".
[edit] Street Angel
In late 1993, while Nicks held a baby shower at her house, she tripped and gashed her forehead on a fireplace. Not feeling any pain, Nicks realised she needed help and endured a painful 47-day detox from Klonopin in hospital. She stated later that Klonopin sucked the creativity and enthusiasm to write music out of her, and made her feel very lethargic. Her weight had ballooned to 175 lb (79.4 kg), and her short stature aggravated this.[2]
Due to her dependence on Klonopin, Nicks strung together a haphazard solo album in 1993 and 1994, with material written mostly in previous eras, with "Greta," "Love Is Like a River," and "Listen to the Rain" dating from the mid-1980s, "Destiny" from the early 1970s Buckingham Nicks era (it shares some lyrics with the song "Enchanted"), and "Rose Garden," originally written when Nicks was 17. Other material came from various co-writers, including frequent late '80s/early '90s collaborator Mike Campbell and a cover of Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman."
Released in 1994, Street Angel (#45 on the Billboard 200 albums chart) became the most poorly-received record of her solo career. "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" from the album made #57 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and "Blue Denim" was an even less successful hit. Nicks was crushed by the focus on her weight and the poor reception of the album despite her three-month tour featuring friends and old band musicians including drummer Russ Kunkel and Fleetwood Mac lead guitarist Rick Vito.[3] Highlights from the tour included "Stand Back"; "Rhiannon"; "Talk To Me" (which Nicks has not performed since on tour, except for a rare private performance at the Arizona Heart Institute Concert in 1996); "Edge of Seventeen"; and a rare solo version of the Fleetwood Mac hit, "The Chain".
[edit] Fleetwood Mac Reunion, "The Dance"
Nicks entered seclusion for several years following the Street Angel tour and lost weight, vowing never to perform live again when in such a physical state. During her time away, Nicks continued to write and record, and began formulating ideas for a new solo album (which would not see a release for several years at this point). She contributed the song "Twisted" to the Twister soundtrack (a duet with Lindsey Buckingham), the Sheryl Crow penned "Somebody Stand By Me" to the Boys on the Side soundtrack and remade Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" for Fox's TV hit Party of Five. She also wrote a demo of the song "Sweet Girl," ushering in a new age for Fleetwood Mac.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of Rumours, the "classic" Fleetwood Mac line-up reunited for an album and tour beginning in May 1997. Lindsey Buckingham enlisted the help of the band's rhythm section Mick Fleetwood and John McVie for a planned solo album, which gradually mutated into a full-scale reunion. The tour was an immense success, with the opening shows recorded for video and album release
This live release, The Dance, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in the autumn of 1997 and earned the group a Grammy nomination. Two promotional singles—both Nicks songs—were released: an emotional, acoustic reading of "Landslide" and the epic "Silver Springs," which had been originally planned for Rumours but was shelved due to its length, as each vinyl side contained only 24 minutes. Instead, the song was relegated to b-side status for "Go Your Own Way," but on The Dance earned Nicks a Rock Vocal Performance nomination. In 1998, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and won the Outstanding Contribution at the BRIT Awards.
[edit] Enchanted
Nicks once again had to put plans for a new solo album on the back burner when she was approached by Warner Bros. to release a solo career-spanning box set. After the culmination of the Fleetwood Mac reunion tour, Nicks settled down in Los Angeles and Phoenix with close friends and colleagues to devise a track list for this three-disc collection.
The box set Enchanted, was released to acclaim in April 1998 with liner notes from Nicks, as well as exclusive and rare photographs. As well as featuring successful solo hits, Nicks included b-sides ("Garbo," written in 1973 and recorded for The Wild Heart era), rare soundtrack contributions ("Blue Lamp," "Sleeping Angel," "Battle of the Dragon," "Violet and Blue"), duets ("Whenever I Call You Friend" with Kenny Loggins), and covers ("It's Late," "Free Fallin'," and Warren Zevon's "Reconsider Me"). Nicks also included demos ("Twisted," "Sweet Girl") and "Long Distance Winner" from the unreleased-on-CD Buckingham Nicks album. Live versions of "Edge of Seventeen" and "Gold and Braid" (previously unreleased) were also scattered in the set, and Nicks recorded a special solo piano rendition of "Rhiannon."
The box set was supported with a successful US tour with a more varied set list incorporating rare material such as "Rose Garden" and "Garbo". The set sold 56,000 units in its first week (an excellent achievement for a pricey three-disc box set) and was certified gold. Nicks continued work in 1998 with contributions to the Practical Magic soundtrack, recording a new version of "Crystal," with Nicks on lead vocals for the first time (on previous recordings, it was Lindsey Buckingham), and "If You Ever Did Believe," originally a mid-'70s demo. Accolades continued when People magazine named Nicks one of the 50 Most Beautiful People, and in 1999, she ranked #14 on a list of VH1's Greatest Women of Rock.
[edit] Trouble in Shangri-La
After three years taken up with touring commitments and soundtrack recording, as well as compiling her box set, Nicks finally set to work on recording her much-delayed "comeback" solo album in 1999, partly produced by Sheryl Crow.
Nicks had worked with a voice coach since 1997, lending her voice more control and protecting it from lengthy touring schedules. Her voice on the new recordings was markedly more tuneful and passionate than on Street Angel, her previous solo outing. Nicks drew her material from her most recent compositions of the 1990s, as well as from outside songwriters, and unreleased early songs.
Released in May 2001, Trouble in Shangri-La restored Nicks' solo career to critical and commercial success, certifying gold and reaching #5 on the Billboard 200, her best album chart position since The Wild Heart almost two decades earlier, which also hit #5. The album featured collaborations with Natalie Maines (Dixie Chicks) on the country duet "Too Far from Texas," and Macy Gray on the soft, funky "Bombay Sapphires." Nicks began writing actively for the album in 1994 and 1995 with "Trouble in Shangri-La" and "Love Is," as she came out of her Klonopin dependency. The album also features newly-recorded versions of older, unreleased songs: "Candlebright" (originally titled "Nomad," from 1970), "Sorcerer" (from the Buckingham Nicks era), and "Planets of the Universe" (written around 1976). A dance remix of one of "Planets of the Universe" achieved #1 on the Billboard Club Play chart. The original album version of the song was nominated for a Grammy (Best Female Rock Vocal Performance). Nicks supported the album with a successful tour.
In 2002, a second greatest hits album from Fleetwood Mac, The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac, was released, becoming another successful platinum smash with a more in-depth track list, and Nicks also participated in VH1's Divas Live, singing Elvis Presley's classic song "Wear My Ring Around Your Neck" as well as "Landslide" with the Dixie Chicks earlier that evening.
[edit] Say You Will
In 2001, while touring for Trouble in Shangri-La, Nicks received the news that the other members of Fleetwood Mac were planning a new studio album. The line-up consisted of the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, as well as Lindsey Buckingham, but Christine McVie opted out of the project in its early stages, as she had retired from the group's heavy touring schedule (she had to be coaxed into participating in the 1997 reunion tour).
Nicks sent off a demo tape of around 20 previously unissued songs, some of which had already been considered for previous Fleetwood Mac albums or solo albums. After the end of her solo tour, Nicks convened with the other members of the band for recording during 2002. The album, which Buckingham had planned as a two-disc set, became a half-Buckingham, half-Nicks record, with nine songs each. Buckingham's material was notably more experimental and unusual (some coming from his unreleased Gift of Screws album), while Nicks contributed a series of passionate songs, including her reaction to 9/11 terrorist attacks, "Illume," an ode to Sheryl Crow, "Silver Girl," and various songs from earlier eras: "Smile At You" had been written for Tusk and also recorded during the Mirage sessions; "Running Through the Garden" was originally intended for Rock a Little; and "Goodbye Baby" was written around 1976 as a piano ballad, "The Tower."
The album, Say You Will, was released to positive reviews in April 2003 and became a Top 3 hit on the Billboard 200, supported by a mammoth, extensive world tour lasting until September 2004, as well as two DVD releases: the concert film Live in Boston and the documentary Destiny Rules.
[edit] Recent Tours
After a few months' respite from the Say You Will tour, Nicks did a four-night stint in May 2005 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and then did a 10-show tour with Don Henley. Nicks continued the tour solo, playing over 20 dates nationwide during the summer of 2005, ending it where it began, at Caesars Palace. There her set included the rarely-performed-live "If Anyone Falls," the moving "How Still My Love" from Bella Donna and a rendition of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll." At the "Fashion Rocks" concert of September 2005 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, soul singer Joss Stone and singer Rob Thomas covered the Stevie Nicks–Tom Petty 1981 smash hit "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" to kick-start the Fall Fashion Week.
In October 2005, she attended the Melbourne Cup Week in Australia, and one of the horse racing stakes was named after her: The Stevie Nicks Plate. She used this opportunity to launch her promotion of an Australian/New Zealand extension to her Gold Dust Tour in February and March 2006. Nicks toured in Australia and New Zealand with popular Australian performer John Farnham. She also appeared in concert with Tom Petty in June near Manassas, Virginia and at the Bonnaroo Music Festival that same month.
In 2006, Nicks also performed with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for the first leg of their tour in the summer, and later in the year returned as a guest performer for a number of songs on the tour celebrating Petty's 30th anniversary since his debut album. Nicks was also the featured performer for Bette Midler's benefit function, Hullaween, in October 2006.
On December 8, 2006, Stevie performed at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas as a benefit for the Epicurean Charitable Foundation.
[edit] Influence
One of the reasons for Nicks' continued career is the devotion she inspires in her fans. Sheryl Crow, the Dixie Chicks, Michelle Branch, Tori Amos, Courtney Love, Michelle Hotaling and Laura Branigan have cited her work as an inspiration. She has participated in duets or provided guest vocals for several of their albums and some have returned the favour, notably Crow and the Dixie Chicks. The Dixie Chicks covered her 1975 classic "Landslide," which became a Top 10 hit (#1 on the Adult Contemporary chart). Smashing Pumpkins also covered the song for modern rock radio. She recorded a duet with Chris Isaak on his 2004 Christmas album and sang with Isaak on his PBS Christmas television special. Other successful covers have included The Corrs' "Dreams" and Courtney Love's "Gold Dust Woman." "Edge Of Seventeen" was sampled on Destiny's Child's 2001 #1 single "Bootylicious" and was covered by Lindsay Lohan on her album "A Little More Personal (Raw)". Nicks appeared in the video for Bootylicious and in an episode of MTV's Behind The Video that featured it, in which she expressed her admiration for both the song and the group. Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys has expressed extreme interest in working with Stevie. Deep Dish fulfilled their "dream" of working with Stevie in 2005 when Stevie offered to re-record vocals on a remix of her #1 penned song, Dreams. The Deep Dish version went on to become a big danceclub hit.
[edit] Microphone
Stevie Nicks is known for her use of the Sennheiser MD-441-U. Its interesting appearance has made it synonymous with Nicks's early tours. Also synonymous with Nicks's microphone are the items she chooses to decorate her microphone stand with. Over the years, such items have included roses, ribbons, chiffon, crystal beads, scarves and small stuffed animals.
In addition to this, it is also well known that Nicks tends to leave the mic on its stand for the majority of her performances, only ever taking it in hand on rare occasions.
[edit] Image
Stevie Nicks is known for her mystical image, created by her entrancingly graceful movements, possessed performances and of course, her billowing chiffon skirts, shawls, top hats, layers of lace and forever long blonde hair. Margi Kent, a designer from California, has worked with Stevie since the 1970s to perfect her style. Perhaps the most famous part of Stevie's wardrobe is her platform boots. Stevie has worn suede platform boots in various colors, usually black, cream, tan or maroon in almost all of her performances since 1975.
Stevie has said that her vocal style and performance antics evolved from female singers like Janis Joplin. She also commented that she once saw a woman in her audience dressed in dripping chiffon with a Gibson girl hairstyle and big boots and Stevie knew she wanted something similar. She took the look and made it her own. Another important part of Stevie's image is her jewelry. Stevie typically introduces one signature piece of jewelry during each tour. Such items have included silver bracelets, crescent moon pendant, pyramid shaped pendant, winged-heart pendant, gold crosses and, most recently, a Tiffany pendant with diamonds meaning "longevity."
[edit] Personal life
While she has had well-publicized affairs with men ranging from Mick Fleetwood to Warren Zevon to The Eagles member Don Henley, Nicks has only married once, to Kim Anderson. His first wife had been Stevie's best friend and had recently died of leukemia, leaving behind a husband and young child, and Nicks felt it was her calling to marry Anderson and raise the child. They married in 1983, but the arrangement quickly fell apart when Stevie realized she had not handled the situation properly, and they split a year later.[citations needed] Another notable relationship was with Lindsey Buckingham, with whom she lived for several years.
On August 10, 2005 her father, Jess Nicks, died. Jess introduced his daughter during several of her concert tours and was a large influence on Stevie. Stevie remarked, after Jess's health had deteriorated, that she asked her father to "hang on" for her to finish her tour and his death came shortly after Stevie wrapped up her summer 2005 Gold Dust Tour. She was able to be with him in his final hours.
One of the more persistent rumors which has trailed Nicks through the years is that she is a witch and is heavily involved in Wicca. While she admits to have a high regard for the mythic and gothic, she denies any solitary dedication to any one religion, including Wicca. Though her work is copyrighted under the name Welsh Witch Music, some allege that the name is a retrospective reference to the name Rhiannon and does not provide any proof or suggestion that Nicks, herself, is a witch, while others would disagree with this characterization and mention simply that the name speaks for itself.
Standing at 5 ft 1 in (1.5 m), Nicks is not particularly tall and has stated she felt a little ridiculous standing next to the much taller Mick Fleetwood (High Times, 1982). For this reason she developed a penchant for 6-inch platform boots. "Even when platforms went completely out of style, I kept wearing them because I didn't want to go back to being 5ft 3in in heels." she told Allure magazine in 1995. Over the years, Stevie has developed a style which she calls her "uniform" (Spotlight on Stevie Nicks, 96.1 WSRS, August 5, 2001).
Stevie currently resides in Paradise Valley, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix.

[edit] Pop culture references
- British punk rock group The Rotters released "Sit On My Face, Stevie Nicks" as their first single in 1978[4], which received a lot of publicity and was banned by radio stations.
- In the 1986 film "Sid And Nancy" (based on the real-life relationship of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen), Nancy sees herself reflected in a window while wearing clothing belonging to Sid's mother and unhappily exclaims, "I look like f---in' Stevie Nicks in hippie clothes!" Nicks admirer Courtney Love appeared in the film and had actually auditioned to play Spungen.
- A New York City festival in honor of Nicks, called Night of 1,000 Stevies, began in 1991 and has grown larger each year. The festival inspired a 2004 film, Gypsy 83, about two fans who drive from Ohio to perform in the show.
- In 1998, Lucy Lawless parodied Nicks on Saturday Night Live, in a skit called "Stevie Nicks' Fajita Round-Up." In the skit, Nicks ran a Tex-Mex cantina in Arizona, where all of her signature dishes were take-offs on her song titles. Also in the skit, she ties in her food choices to her drug addictions. (Nicks had appeared on SNL as a musical guest in 1983, performing "Stand Back" and "Nightbird".)
- In 2001, the HBO drama series Six Feet Under had a scene in one episode where Nate Fisher purchases hydroponic raspberries that he claims were "grown by a guy named Gunter who once slept with Stevie Nicks".
- In the South Park episode "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants" a goat is mistaken for her when she and Fleetwood Mac are scheduled to perform in Afghanistan for U.S. soldiers.
- Nicks' solo track "Edge of Seventeen" contributed the guitar part for the Destiny's Child song "Bootylicious". Nicks appeared in the video as well. An interview about her role in the song and video is featured in the corresponding Making the Video documentary.
- The song "Edge of Seventeen" was also featured in the 2003 comedy film School of Rock starring Jack Black. The character played by Joan Cusack says Stevie is her favorite artist.
- In the 2003 version of the Disney film Freaky Friday, the mother character (Jamie Lee Curtis) exclaims at one point when she is wearing her daughter's (Lindsay Lohan) clothes, "I look like Stevie Nicks!" (prompting the response from her daughter, "Who's he?").
- In 2003, Linus Loves heavily sampled "Stand Back" on his club hit "The Terrace", and this eventually evolved into a fully-fledged cover of the track, with vocals added by Irish singer Sam Obernik. Accompanied by a school formal-themed video, the single reached No. 30 on the UK Singles Chart. When Loves' first album eventually emerged in 2006, "Stand Back" was conspicuous by its absence from the tracklisting, though "The Terrace" does appear.
- The sixth track on The Hold Steady's 2005 album Separation Sunday is named "Stevie Nix".
- In 2005, Nicks contributed new vocals to a remake of the Fleetwood Mac song "Dreams" by DJ and house music duo Deep Dish. The song appears on their album George Is On.
- Stevie is mentioned in two different episodes of The Simpsons. The first is during a Halloween special in which Mr. Burns comments that Lisa's character possesses "more wicked witchery than Stevie Nicks." The second is when Homer takes out a "Before I Die I Want To -" list; at the bottom of the list is the phrase "See Stevie Nicks Naked." It is checked off three times.
- At the November 2005 American Music Awards, actress-turned-singer Lindsay Lohan covered Nicks' 1981 hit "Edge Of Seventeen" to a popular reception. Lohan has since recorded it for her studio release album A Little More Personal.
- The Tucson based indie band Calexico wrote a song, performed on their 2003 album Feast of Wire, called "Not Even Stevie Nicks". During their 2003 concert in Stockholm the band introduced the song as being "called 'Not Even Stevie Nicks'. Why? Nobody knows".
- The MMORPG game World of Warcraft has many subtle Stevie Nicks references. Players collect "Wild Hearts", "Gold Dust", and "White Winged Dove Feathers" to complete quests.
- In an episode of the second season of Bravo's reality show Project Runway, designer Chloe Dao tells fellow contestant Diana Eng that the outfit she is designing looks very Stevie Nicks. Eng then asks, "What's a Stevie Nick?"
- Running with Scissors author Augusten Burroughs references Stevie's music in his book and has commented that the one thing missing from the movie's upcoming soundtrack is Stevie's music.
- On an episode of Will and Grace, when Will asks Grace if she nabbed "that black flowy thing" during a clothes-shopping trip, she sighs, "No, you were right. It's too Stevie Nicks, the Heavy Years."
