Stevie Nicks
By Lee Zimmerman
Published: February 1, 2007

Forget for a moment the obligatory roll call of hits — we'll get to
that in due time. Focus instead on the fact that few artists have
established an image as durable as Stevie Nicks has. True, she can
come off as a bit precious — spinning like a dervish, draped in lace
and chiffon, posing as some sort of mythical chanteuse dispensing
woebegone tales. To her legion of fans, though, she's the ultimate
rock and roll earth mother, a benign sorceress, whose plaintive
vocals reflect a life of emotional hardship.

Details:
Stevie Nicks performs at 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 6, at Hard Rock
Live, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood. Tickets cost $50, $65, and $80.
Call 954-327-7625 for more information.
Subject(s): Stevie Nicks Nicks joined her first band, the Changing
Times, while in her midteens. In her senior year of high school, she
met the man who'd become both her erstwhile musical partner and the
love of her life, Lindsey Buckingham. The two formed a group called
Fritz and toured extensively in the late Sixties, before scaling
back to a duo and releasing the eponymous Buckingham Nicks album in
1973.

After that, the story becomes familiar. The two join Fleetwood Mac a
year later. They provide the hits ("Dreams," "Rhiannon," et al.).
The band scores big with Fleetwood Mac and Rumours. The group's
internal dynamic becomes fraught with romantic turmoil, and Nicks
eventually goes her own way, racking up a string of solo chart-
toppers ("Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" with Tom Petty, "Leather
and Lace" with Don Henley," "Edge of Seventeen"). A struggle with
drug dependency and disappointing reunions with Fleetwood Mac dull
her luster, but her star power still lingers, as does the appeal of
her songs, which still sparkle in concert. — Lee Zimmerman
