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.

I recommend watching Dave Grohl’s “Sound City” documentary if you’re interested in Fleetwood Mac’s early years. The book tells the story of how Lindsay and Stevie joined the band.
With the voice of a hybrid angel-demon, this is a piece of art. Especially in her video with Tom Petty – Stop Draggin my Heart around, as well as in Fleetwood Mac – The Chain where she’s turned to look at Lindsey while the rest of the band faces the audience.
In the late 1970s, they played Folsom Field at the University of Colorado; I was living in Boulder and attending CU. Even though I was climbing in the Foothills with a very hot lady that night, I could hear the concert quite clearly. The band probably had the volume pretty high for that show since Boulder passed a noise ordinance after that concert.
