Stevie Nicks is a legendary female rocker and songwriter, best known for her work for Fleetwood Mac. Nick is the only woman to have been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She started her career as a singer with the local band, Fritz, along with Lindsey Buckingham, which established a small following. Nicks and Buckingham were deeply romantically involved, and in 1972, they released an album “Buckingham-Nicks.” However, the album flopped, and they two dropped from the label. She also worked as a maid, a dental assistant, and a waitress to make ends meet.
Nick boosted her career with ‘Rhiannon’ and ‘Landslide’ in 1975. Nicks discovered the Rhiannon character in the early 1970s through a novel called Triad by Mary Bartlet Leader. Nick also built her own unique onstage look, which consisted of a gypsy-bohemian style that featured flowing skirts, shawls, and platform boots. Nick also released solo albums, her first two albums, ‘Bella Donna’ and ‘The Wild Heart’ were awarded platinum. Nick also developed a drug addiction problem during her solo career, and she struggled hard to overcome her substance abuse and was eventually successful. She is credited to have produced more than forty Top 50 hits with a sales figure exceeding 140 million.

When “Go your own way” topped the charts.
It’s an amazing album. Even though I am not a huge fan of the genre, Rumors is one of the best complete albums from the 1970s.
Knowing the story behind each song and recording makes this album even more enjoyable. Affairs, drugs, cheating, hiding, and drama really ramp up the drama.

Second only to Steamy Ray Vaughn. It’s time for those britches to take a break, they’ve had enough
Kids’ music today is certainly not something I understand. Sounds like diarrhea to me.
Stevie is incredible, but don’t forget Christine in the background. In addition to playing several keyboards, she sings harmony as well.
Moreover, she sings lead vocals on a lot of the songs on the album Tango in the Night, which is a great example.
By far the best band I’ve had the joy of seeing live…
Damn Stevie, stop dragging my heart around
