24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault is the eighth solo studio album by the American singer-songwriter and Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks, released on September 30, 2014, through Reprise Records. The album includes new versions of demos that Nicks recorded between 1969 and 1995.
Stevie Nicks calls in a few friends on this one. Trouble in Shangri-La enlists some of music's most popular females, including Macy Gray, Sarah McLachlan, and Dixie Chick Natalie Maines. If Nicks hadn't been doing it for years, this might feel like a calculated attempt to follow the trend set by Santana's Supernatural. Her liner notes have always been star-studded. Over the years she's gotten help from the likes of Don Henley, Don Felder, Bruce Hornsby, Mike Campbell, and Tom Petty. Most prominent on this album is Sheryl Crow, who co-produced five of the album's 13 tracks. Her signature guitar sound shines through on many of the songs. Maines performs the album's only true duet on "Too Far From Texas."
Stevie Nicks' fourth solo album received more than its share of negative reviews from rock critics, who seemed to mistake her poetic and not always terribly discernible lyrics for pretentiousness. Although not as strong as Nicks' three previous solo dates, The Other Side of the Mirror is a decent album that has many more pluses than minuses…
Having spent over 40 years in the music business and during this period become one of the most successful female artists and composers of the rock age, Stevie Nicks remains the blueprint and inspiration for women everywhere to try their hand in what is still a hugely male dominated industry. Boasting guts of steel, the voice of an angel and song writing skills in a league of their own, the woman born Stephanie Lynn Nicks in May 1948 is nothing short of a legend. This remarkable 3 x CD set contains a selection of superb live radio broadcast recordings of Stevie in concert, made at various points of the girl s sell-out tours of the 1980s the period which, most fans would agree, witnessed the absolute pinnacle of her solo work.
You can give ‘Stevie Nicks: In Your Dreams’ this much: From the start, you know what you’re in for. The documentary opens with almost three minutes of people talking about how much they love the singer and what a genius she is. What else do you need to know? At this point in Nicks’ career, we should expect a certain amount of veneration from a movie about her. She’s an established artist with nothing to prove, and a film like this is pretty much made for fans who are already 100 percent on board with the singer. Still, she and the filmmakers could have used that security to provide a peek into Nicks’ creative process.
Live In Chicago is a DVD by the American singer-songwriter and Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks. It was filmed for PBS's Soundstage, on September 25th, 2007 at Grainger Studios in Chicago, IL and the episode aired on TV in July 2008…
In contrast to the earthy, rootsy qualities of Bella Donna, Stevie Nicks took a slicker, more high-tech approach on her third solo album, Rock a Little. But for all its glossiness, this pop/rock CD comes across as sincere and heartfelt rather than formulaic or contrived…
