It’s been a decade since her last solo studio album, but Nicks sounds anything but rusty here. Former Eurythmics principal Dave Stewart co-wrote seven of these 13 songs and sings on two, clearly pushing Nicks into vintage form on Beatles-leaning cuts like “Everybody Loves You,” “Italian Summer” and the lengthy Edgar Allan Poe adaptation “Annabel Lee,” rockers such as the title track and “Ghosts Are Gone,” and rich melodic fare like the single, “Secret Love,” “For What It’s Worth” and “New Orleans.” Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham both show up here -- the latter on the affecting “Soldiers Angel” -- but “In Your Dreams” reminds us that Nicks has far too much music in her to be solely confined within Fleetwood Mac.
