STEVIE NICKS Vinilo y CD

Review: Street Angel captures a distinct period in Stevie Nicks' career when she had just left Fleetwood Mac and was battling Klonopin dependency. The recording process was fraught, but in this tension emerges an album more brooding than the breezy pop rock she had comfortably rolled out in her solo career up to that point. The title track speaks volumes for the mood around the record, downcast but still possessing a fierceness that Nicks has carried throughout her catalogue. 'Blue Denim' strikes a softer note which sits comfortably alongside her work in Fleetwood Mac, but it's the spaces she explores beyond that which make this an essential part of her long and winding story in rock and roll.

Review: In the dramatic twists and turns of her career, Stevie Nicks overcame adversity more than a few times to assert her place as a true icon of American rock music. In the wake of her departure from Fleetwood Mac and her battle with Klonopin dependency, Tom Petty encouraged her to hunker down and write the songs which would become her 2001 comeback, Trouble In Shangri-La. Coming from a place of sheer honesty and with the clarity of her regained health, it was a critically acclaimed return to form which vindicated her self-doubt and reminded the world of her incredible voice and unforgettable songwriting.
