It makes sense that the first box set to come from a member of
Fleetwood Mac is Stevie Nicks'. She has, after all, had the most
successful career outside of The Mac. This box set spans her
entire solo career in formidable fashion, and included is a lavish
booklet with extensive liner notes and many never-before-seen
photos. Aside from her solo career, the Mac gem "Rhiannon"
(piano version) is included, along with "Gold" (with John
Stewart), "Whenever I Call You Friend" (with Kenny Loggins),
and "Long Distance Winner" (with Lindsey Buckingham). As for
her solo work, hits from "Bella Donna" to "Street Angel" are
here, as well as B-sides, soundtrack cuts, and demos.
"Reconsider Me" (with Don Henley) is a fine ballad that compares
with Stevie's best work. This is a comprehensive package that
shows us just how much wonderful music has been created
outside of Stevie Nick's Fleetwood Mac tenure.
