I've been a fan of Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac for awhile, but this clip a Rolling Stones photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz (another cool chick) reminds me exactly how awesome she is.
She's so natural and soulful in her singing -- it almost sounds like she's having a conversation with you.
Despite her mystical, free-spirited appearance, she's had a prolific career -- producing over 40 Top 50 hits and selling 140 million albums. In fact, she's spurred on a whole new generation of artists with Courtney Love, Michelle Branch, Mary J Blige, Sheryl Crow and Sarah McLachlan (among others) naming Stevie as a strong influence on their music careers.
At age 65, she's still going. In 2010, she began working on a new solo album, "In Your Dreams." Rolling Stones said, "it's her finest collection of songs since the eighties."
"It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people." - stevie
In honor of Stevie, I'm listening to her ALL day on Spotify. If only tambourines were allowed at my desk...
