The Week Ahead... For Stevie Nicks...
March 7th:
Stevie will be on KBCO's morning program this Monday. The show, based out of Colorado runs from 5:30am - 10:30am... I suspect it's an interview... Not sure if it's a pre-recorded interview, one she gave during that day in late February when she was speaking with a bunch of radio stations, or if she's calling in...
March 8th:
GLEE: The Music Volume 5 album is released on Tuesday. A cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" is included on the album sung by Gwyneth Paltrow. The Fox show will broadcast March 8th.

Kudos & Kvetches Daily:
because you shouldn’t have to wait twice a week to be offended.
Last week it was announced two heavyweights of classic rock and urban mythology will join forces for one night of sweet music. On April 22, Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks perform at Rogers Arena—a one-two punch the likes of which hasn’t been felt since Fantasy Island followed Love Boat on Saturday nights. Besides maximum tune-age and a chance for middle-aged fans to get their feathered-hair groove on, what makes this concert particularly notable are the infamous tales of backstage debauchery and bizarre rumours both artists bring with them.

Interview: Dave Stewart talks Stevie Nicks' new album 'In Your Dreams'
BY MELINDA NEWMAN
HITFIX
HITFIX
Stevie Nicks will release, “In Your Dreams,” her first solo album in 10 years on May 3. Nicks recorded “In Your Dreams” in her Los Angeles home with co-producers Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard.
Stewart, best known as half of Eurythmics, says recording with Nicks was an absolute joy. “We co-wrote eight or nine songs together,” he tells Hitfix, seven of which ultimately ended up on the album. “After the second or third song, she said I’ve never sat together and written with someone in my life. It’s an amazing album.”
Nicks, who inspired a generation of singers, is the last artist who will be chasing trends, Stewart says. “It’s not like trying to answer or compete with any pop market.”
Stewart says he learned much about Nicks and her craft. “I learned how incredibly focused she is and how unbelievably committed she is to her art form and includes the words, research, her obsession with poets like Edgar Allan Poe and all the details.”
Nicks is prepping for a North American tour with co-headliner Rod Stewart. The Heart & Soul Tour kicks off March 20 at the Bank Atlantic Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

Secret Love on the Adult Rock Radio Charts + Updated Sales Figures For Stevie Nicks Catalogue
"Secret Love" will enter the Billboard Adult Contemporary Top 30 Chart this week at #29.
NICKS OF TIME
Hi Gary,
The legendary Stevie Nicks is releasing a new album soon. Could you please provide up-to-date sales totals for her albums?
Thanks,
John Irving
Austin, Texas
__________________________________________________________________________________
Hi John,
Nicks releases "In Your Dreams" May 3. The Nicks-written, Dave Stewart-produced first single "Secret Love" is bubbling under the Adult Contemporary chart.
In what should be a tour bursting with beloved hits, Nicks and Rod Stewart's "Heart & Soul" trek runs March 20 through April 23 (although the pair's April 15 show in Phoenix is the closest they'll come to Austin ...)
Here is a look at Nicks' album sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan:
46,000, "The Soundstage Sessions" (2009)
348,000, "Crystal Visions... The Very Best of Stevie Nicks" (2007)
663,000, "Trouble in Shangri-La" (2001)
172,000, "The Enchanted Works of Stevie Nicks" (1998)
231,000, "Street Angel" (1994)
1,543,000, "Timespace: Best of Stevie Nicks" (1991)
Sales for albums released prior to the advent of SoundScan in 1991:
79,000, "The Other Side of the Mirror" (1989)
99,000, "Rock a Little" (1986)
200,000, "The Wild Heart" (1983)
855,000, "Bella Donna" (1981)
According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), here are the certifications for Nicks' four pre-SoundScan era studio albums:
Platinum, "The Other Side of the Mirror"
Platinum, "Rock a Little"
2x Multi-Platinum, "The Wild Heart"
4x Multi-Platinum, "Bella Donna"
Nicks has collaborated on several songs with songwriter Rick Nowels, whose deep resume includes hits for Madonna, Belinda Carlisle and Colbie Caillat.
Nowels wrote three of my favorite Nicks songs: "I Can't Wait" (1986), "Two Kinds of Love," featuring Bruce Hornsby and Kenny G (1989), and "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" (1994).
In an e-mail last year, Nowels called "Two Kinds of Love" (which inexplicably failed to reach the Adult Contemporary chart upon its release as the second single from "The Other Side of the Mirror") "one of my faves too!"
"Madonna, Belinda, Stevie ... all goddesses of pop."

"Secret Love" Video Screen Caps
The daughter of Glen Parrish, Stevie's former Manager, is the younger version of Stevie in the bottom two screen caps... That's Stevie in the top photo.
The video Dave Stewart produced, and is editing hasn't premiered just yet... But we are getting closer. Teaser number 566 from Dave Stewart screen captures from the "Secret Love" video... Looks awesome even though I have no idea what it means. But the word "dreamscapes" comes to mind - an adjective Dave used months ago when describing what was being filmed. So knowing that there is a younger version of Stevie (the daughter of Glen Parrish) in the video and given the fact that the song is from the mid 70's... It looks as if we are going to be travelling back in time. Coincidently I always thought that the ending of the song Secret Love just before it abruptly ends sounded like the music was in reverse. Imagine video clips whizzing by at a fair clip while that last bit plays.
"Hey Stevie Nicks Fans , here a few screen grabs from the video we are editing for "Secret Love" from the movie "In Your Dreams" anyone recognize the green dress ?" Link to Photo |
