About this listen

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 Stevie Nicks’s 2019 solo induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the time is right to uncover the stories behind the songs you love. Learn about the people, places, and events that have influenced her work—and why Nicks’ music is as powerfully alluring today as it was when you first heard it decades ago.

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

The only thing that would’ve made this story better would’ve been Stevie Nick being the narrator of her own story. You have to give her credit for always being so honest.

Rolling Stone journalist and narrator, Rob Sheffield shows he loves Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac warts and all in this gushy, informative rock history. Nicks has always been a popular but controversial figure and Sheffield presents her as unapologetically flawed. He covers Nicks’ pre-Mac days, her rocky relationship with Lindsey Buckingham, and paints a picture of Fleetwood Mac as an unstable band of individual talents who can create masterpieces when they put aside their infighting and affairs. Although I’ve noticed Nick’s solo albums, I hadn’t realised she is such a prolific songwriter and as so few of her songs make it onto Mac albums, she funnels the rest into her solo records. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk through each band and solo album and had to keep stopping to listen to the amazing songs being discussed. Landslide is my favourite Nicks song, it’s impressively vulnerable - just putting it out there!

A fitting homage to a great talent!
