STEVIE NICKS – STREET ANGEL

Description

Street Angel captures a distinct period in Stevie Nicks’ career when she had just left Fleetwood Mac and was battling Klonopin dependency.

The recording process was fraught, but in this tension emerges an album more brooding than the breezy pop rock she had comfortably rolled out in her solo career up to that point. The title track speaks volumes for the mood around the record, downcast but still possessing a fierceness that Nicks has carried throughout her catalogue.

‘Blue Denim’ strikes a softer note which sits comfortably alongside her work in Fleetwood Mac, but it’s the spaces she explores beyond that which make this an essential part of her long and winding story in rock and roll.
