Review: Stevie Nicks Jones Beach June 29, 2012

Stevie Nicks Shines During a Windy Jones Beach Concert
by Beth at Comic Sutra

Stevie Nicks has been a rock music icon now for several decades now but her fans adore her not just for her music or her unique style. More than anything else, Nicks’ honesty is at the heart of the bond between the singer/songwriter and her fans.

Jones Beach was the start of Nicks’ summer 2012 concert tour – her first performance since her mother’s death in December 2011. After the opening number, Nicks confessed that she had been unable to rehearse with the rest of the band because she lost her voice a week before, so she’d be flying by the seat of her pants.

The show didn’t look it. Nicks’ voice was in fine form and it had the perfect blend of polish and spontaneity.

Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album
by Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas

In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac’s epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.

Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn’t get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band’s Grammy-winning sound.

Hernan Rojas’s story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet’s coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.

Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.
