Stevie Nicks

Rhino are to release a new Stevie Nicks anthology called Stand Back with various formats being delivered over the next few months. Single CD, three-CD and 6LP vinyl editions celebrate her solo career with essential recordings from studio albums, live performances, and soundtrack contributions, plus several of her most-celebrated collaboration, such as with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Don Henley, Sheryl Crow, Dave Stewart and Lana Del Ray. The triple CD set focuses on solo studio material on disc one, collaborations on disc two and live recordings and soundtrack work on disc three. The single CD offers a highlight package while the vinyl box matches the three-CD set.

Stevie Nicks returned in 1983 with her follow-up solo album, THE WILD HEART. The album produced hits like “Stand Back,” “Nightbird” and “I Will Run To You,” which features Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. THE WILD HEART: DELUXE EDITION builds on the original album with unreleased versions of “All The Beautiful Worlds” a session version of “Wild Heart” and “Garbo,” the B-side to “Stand Back.”

The first American single-disc Stevie Nicks compilation since 1991's Timespace, Reprise's 2007 Crystal Visions: The Very Best of Stevie Nicks bests that previous set even if it falls just short of being truly definitive. The problem area lies in the place where it clearly attempts to distinguish itself from its predecessor: the inclusion of Fleetwood Mac songs. Where Timespace never attempted to explore this territory, Crystal Visions does, but with the exception of "Silver Springs," all of the Mac songs are re-recordings – "Dreams" is performed with Deep Dish, there's a live version of "Rhiannon," and a version of "Landslide" performed live with the Melbourne Symphony.
