A wiser Stevie Nicks builds her new Shangri-La.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Despite the portentous title of Stevie Nicks' first solo CD in seven years, the Fleetwood Mac singer assures fans her "crystal visions" are clear again.
"Trouble in Shangri-La," her collection of relationship-based songs, hits stores this week and the tracks come "pretty much from my life," Nicks says.
But the CD's release comes at a time that finds Nicks healthy and seemingly in vogue again.
Such wasn't the case when her last album, 1994's problematic "Street Angel," nearly capsized her career. Now, today's pop stars like Sheryl Crow, Courtney Love, Sarah McLachlan and Macy Gray are citing Nicks' influence on their music. Destiny's Child samples Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" on its new CD.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Nicks' distinctive, witchy wardrobe found favor with fashion designers like Oscar de la Renta, Jill Stuart and Bob Mackie, who all have created Nicks-inspired threads.
"Trouble in Shangri-La" also finds some of her famous fans joining her. Crow, Gray, McLachlan and Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines sing harmonies.
Even ex-lover and Fleetwood Mac bandmate Lindsey Buckingham appears for the first time on one of her solo albums, playing guitar on "I Miss You."
