Grab your lace shawl and top hat and get ready to twirl--this is a full-throttle appreciation of the life and voice of Stevie Nicks from one of rock criticism's most celebrated writers. Best-selling author and Rolling Stone columnist Rob Sheffield explores the music and artistry of the rock goddess who has kept generations of music lovers totally bewitched and spellbound, with such classic rock hits as "Rhiannon" and "Gypsy". With her recent induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (the only female artist to be honored for both her group and solo work), Nicks, who turns 70 this month, is being celebrated for living the seasons of her life with ferocious wit, fierce honesty, unstoppable talent, and a lot of rock & roll. Drawing from Rolling Stone magazine's extensive archives, and his long time appreciation of Nicks, Sheffield shares the stories behind the best-selling records and the spitfire 1997 Fleetwood Mac reunion show that put the band back on top of the charts--and why Stevie Nicks still speaks to us today. A dynamic, revelatory sketch of the one-of-a-kind icon, The Wild Heart of Stevie Nicks is a portrait as revealing as it is dazzling, as human as it is pure magic… (altro)

The Wild Heart of Stevie Nicks by Rob Sheffield and narrated by the author is a short book about Stevie's professional and personal life. Her bands, lovers, hits, ups, and downs. I couldn't believe it when he said she is 78! She just seems forever young! 😎
Great narration especially for an author. ( )

The Real "Daisy Jones & The Six"
Review of the Audible Studios audiobook (2019) narrated by the author

If you're of a certain age and became a fan of Fleetwood Mac when its self-monikered 1975 album and 1976's "Rumours" were released, then modern day pastiches like Taylor Jenkin Reid's "Daisy Jones & The Six" just pale in comparison to the real life equivalent. A light romanticized soap opera just doesn't come close to an almost 50-year love-hate feud (if you start counting from the early Buckingham Nicks high school years) that is Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham and the rest of Fleetwood Mac.

The timing of this quickie Audible Original seems suspiciously close to the release of Reid's book and not to anything else specific in Stevie Nick's career as there is no new music that I am aware of. Rob Sheffield is a Rolling Stone magazine writer and editor who has several books on popular music to his credit. He is also a life long fan of Stevie Nicks which is very apparent in the occasionally gushy hyperbole in this career overview. Still, he provides a warts and all overview that sticks to the highlight periods of the Mac years and the better Nicks solo albums. It is up to date enough to reference the current Mac 2018-19 tour after Lindsay Buckingham's firing and to mention the latter's open-heart surgery on Feb. 8, 2019 without having anything new on his health prognosis.

The audio narration by the author was well done. This is one of the Audible Originals free offerings to its members for May 2019. ( )
