'Trouble In Shangri-La"
It took a little hand-holding to squeeze this CD out of the former
Fleetwood Mac singer-everyone from Tom Petty to Sheryl Crow helped coax
her into the recording studio for her first solo gig in seven years. But
the "emo-rock" and acoustic numbers have won Ms. Nicks her best reviews
since the mid-1980s. At least partial credit goes to Ms. Crow, who wrote
and produced several tracks, but it didn't hurt that the Dixie Chicks
pitched in. If some of the songs on "Trouble in Shangri-La" sound eerily
familiar, that's because a few were written back in the '70s for Fleetwood
Mac, but never recorded.
