Publisher's Summary

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

Stevie's gift to everyone who cares to listen

Stevie Nicks is an icon, a diva, a poet, feminist, songwriter, singer, survivor and thriver.

She began writing songs in high school, in the '60's, a fairly normal pastime for romantic creatives (though many remain at poetry) and is still inspired to write them to this day. Let that just sink in for a little while, 5 decades of being relevant and unapologetically herself. She writes it as she sees/feels it and those songs continue to resonate with people globally.

In the early days of the women's movement, she demonstrated how you could wear chiffon, velvet, lace, silk and still hold your own on a stage, with an audience, in a band and in your personal life.

This audio book is definitely written and read by a long time fan and it is worth a whirlwind listen into the life of the woman who created and is Stevie Nicks.

I really enjoyed this!

I chose this as it was included in my Audible subscription and honestly I really enjoyed it! I loved getting a little insight into the life of Stevie and the band. The author is obviously a big fan and that made the story telling really enjoyable! I want to listen to Mick’s story next!
