Crystal Visions: the Very Best of Stevie Nicks >>

Trouble in Shangri-La >>

As one half of Fleetwood Mac's twin female leads, Stevie Nicks is possessed of one its most distinctive voices. Trouble in Shangri La, her first solo album since 1994s Street Angel, demonstrates Nicks has lost none of her flair for penning richly textured baroque-flavoured folkrock. Despite the presence of former paramour Lindsey Buckingham on the dreamy ballad "I Miss You", a duet with Sarah McLachlan, a guest appearance from Macy Gray (on the iridescent "Bombay Sapphires") and diverse contributions from Sheryl Crow who acts as sounding board, co-producer for five tracks and contributes one song, "It's Only Love", this is very much Nicks's work, a labour of love that she spent the best part of five years on. Polished and burnished to a lacquered sheen, songs like "Planets Of The Universe" glow like embers while Nicks's aching world-weary lyricism frames the tableau. --Mike Pattenden

Timespace: the Best of Stevie Nicks >>

Stevie Nicks hasn't scored an incredible number of post-Fleetwood Mac hits, but she's had enough to fill this CD. (Her 1998 four-CD box set may qualify as overkill). Her best solo songs are ones that sound like they could have come from Fleetwood Mac, including "Stand Back," "Leather and Lace," and "If Anyone Falls"--all included here. The highlight of this CD, and of Nicks' solo career, is "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," her collaboration with Tom Petty. Petty proves to be Nicks's best foil since Lindsey Buckingham. --Charles R.

Nicks will never again match the sales of her 1981 solo debut, Bella Donna (5.2 million units worldwide), but she continues to turn out dependable music on her fifth album and first since 1989. Lead single "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" plays to her strengths with mellifluous ease. --Jeff Bateman
