STEVIE NICKS "If You Ever Did Believe"
(Warner Bros.)
With a wink and a nod, this emblem of throaty-voiced, witchy-garbed

vocal and production assists from kindred spirit Sheryl Crow. When Nicks
sings, "I don't think I can handle this at all," she casts a spell of
womanly yearning. A- -Beth Johnson
