Apart from “Fire Burning” (3:16), every track on this album is over four minutes long, which is a longer average than most pop artists, but the songs are well worth it. There’s a recurring angel motif through most of these songs, which would make for a great extended review/analysis, if you need a project ). The Other Side of the Mirror is predominantly a pop album, but a few of the tracks have a very distinctly southern rock feel to them, and there’s some brass scattered throughout. Rock a Little rocked it was to #12 on the US charts and peaked in Australia at #5 (Australia got its own single from the album, “Imperial Hotel”). Watch it:ĭuring the early production of Rock a Little, Nicks kicked her producer and love interest to the metaphorical curb and started something that rocked a little. I like The Wild Heart, but the best part of this album is the backstage recording of Stevie Nicks singing an acoustic version of the title track. Nick’s follow-up album to Bella Donna was released the year after Fleetwood Mac’s Mirage and yet again features Tom Petty on the track “I Will Run to You.” The highest-reaching track on this album was “Stand Back,” which featured Toto’s Steve Lukather on the guitar and reached #5 on the charts. Other hits from this album include the duets “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and “Leather and Lace” with Don Henley. You might recognize her classic hit “Edge of Seventeen,” which I learned recently is about the heartbreak and rage caused by the death of a loved one. Released the same year as former lover Lindsay Buckingham’s first solo album, Bella Donna allowed Stevie a chance to finally put out all of the music she was writing that didn’t fit with the Fleetwood Mac line up. Because of the sheer volume of awesome that is the Stevie Nicks Solo Career, I’m going to sum up each album in three sentences-ish each. Welcome to the Fleetwood Mac Bonus Track! We’re going to blast through the extensive solo career of Stevie Nicks.
