The Saturday Seven: Best Stevie Nicks Songs

The Enchanting Stevie Nicks....a true legend in rock and roll. She's had an amazing career with Fleetwood Mac, and an impressive solo career as well. I've seen her live over a dozen times and she never disappoints. Her unique style and staying power makes her the subject of The Saturday Seven this week. For those of you who are also Stevie fans, her "Crystal Visions" CD was released on March 27th, and has a tour starting May 17th. So without further delay, I present:
The Saturday Seven: Best Stevie Nicks Songs
1. Edge of Seventeen ("Bella Donna", 1981). This song is transcendental...

2. Stand Back ("The Wild Heart", 1983) She really rocks out on on this


3. Rhiannon ("Fleetwood Mac", 1975) It's so mystical, and draws you in.

4. Dreams ("Rumours", 1977) Druggie era revisited, and a classic


5. Rooms on Fire ("The Other Side of The Mirror", 1989)
Pop modern, but fun

6. Landslide ("Fleetwood Mac", 1975) Her live renditions are life changing

7. Planets of the Universe (Trouble in Shangri-La, 2001) Still relevent to all...


Bonus song: Silver Springs, live ("The Dance" 1997) A connection to the past

Stevie Nicks and her Welsh Witch Music

I decided it was about time for me to add a post for my favorite singer, Stevie Nicks.
I've seen Stevie in concert at least a dozen times and she never disappoints her extremely loyal fan base. I always found myself enchanted by her performances, inexplicably drawn in and seemingly in a trance as she sings. Twirling around in her signature boots, lace shawls and using a microphone festooned with ribbons, she commands the full attention and admiration of the crowd.
A long running member of Fleetwood Mac, she is also an amazing solo rocker-chick with a great story of survival and success. I have scores of Stevie Nicks stories -far too many to mention here, but suffice to say she remains a fun part of me that makes me smile from within. Two of the most amazing songs for me are "Edge of Seventeen" and "Rhiannon".
Below: Ah...so many reasons to like Stevie Nicks...From "Vamp" to "Tramp"...

Below...and from "Rich" to "Witch"
