Rock A Little (1985) |
Stevie Nicks released this album in 1983, shortly after Fleetwood Mac's successful album Mirage and as a follow-up solo album to her critically-acclaimed Bella Donna. It reached #5 on the U.S. Billboard charts a month after its release and achieved Platinum status on September 12th, 1983. It has sold over 2 million copies to date.
Stevie worked with friend Sandy Stewart, who co-wrote three tracks on the album and performed on several. Tom Petty made a return to write "I Will Run To You", on which his bandmates from the Heartbreakers performed. Stevie's Fleetwood Mac bandmate, drummer Mick Fleetwood, made an appearance on the track "Sable on Blond". Toto's Steve Lukather contributed guitar work on what would become the album's hit single, "Stand Back" (#5). The album's final track, "Beauty and the Beast", features a full string section.
