Stevie Nicks - IN YOUR DREAMS "Dave Stewart who, co-writing and co-producing, really makes a dream team with Nicks"

Stevie Nicks - IN YOUR DREAMS
CRITIC'S CHOICE 3.5 stars (out of 4)
People Magazine - May 16th (Collectors Issue)

Pop-Rock: Ten years after her last solo studio album, Stevie Nicks is ever the enchantress, bewitching with songs that travel across time ("Secret Love," written in '76 about a clandestine affair she had) and place ("New Orleans," inspired by Katrina). She also transports between fantasy - see the New Moon influenced "Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream)" - and harsh reality (the war-themed "Soldier's Angel"). The latter enlists Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham, but it's Eurythmic Dave Stewart who, cowriting and coproducing, really makes a dream team with Nicks.

EXCLUSIVE: Stevie Nicks Says Doc Almost Killed Her, Ruined Chance of Becoming a Mom
Fox News

Stevie Nicks has been to hell and back and lived to write some more songs about it.

Along with being the lead singer for the legendary rock band “Fleetwood Mac” and a successful solo artist, the songstress has also had a lengthy battle with addiction, entering rehab once for cocaine and a second time for pills.

So now at age 62, with a new album drawn from her personal diaries being released this week, what is Nicks' greatest regret?

“The only thing I would change is walking into that psychiatrists office who prescribed me Klonopin," Nicks told FOX411's Pop Tarts in an exclusive interview in her Pacific Palisades mansion. "That ruined my life for eight years."

Klonopin is a tranquilizer generally used to treat seizures and panic disorder. Nicks said it was not for her.

One dinner guest was Reese Witherspoon, who met the rock and roll queen through her parents.

“I met Reese’s mom first on an airplane and she is just insane, she is darling. She was going to Nashville and I talked to her the whole way, she had a little Yorkie with her and we instantly bonded. I was going to do a session there and invited her to come,” Nicks said. “Never in a million years did I think she would actually come but she did, along with Dr. Witherspoon. They came and spent six hours in the studio as the audience as I worked on a new vocal, so after I met the mom I then met Reese the daughter.”

SOUND OFF: GLEE Dreams & Fleetwood Mac RUMOURS

Last night GLEE took on the catalogue of Fleetwood Mac - namely, their 1977 Grammy-winning Album of the Year, RUMOURS and proved that you can do justice to the originals - as inimitable as they may be - but still go your own way with them. And, have your own way. Also, Broadway baby Kristin Chenoweth made her long-awaited return as boozy April Rhodes just in time to duet with Matt Morrison on the Stevie Nicks-penned classic "Dreams" and a few of the secondary leads - namely Santana, Artie and Quinn - got a chance to shine with these silvery takes on the solid gold classic rock tracks. While some of the tribute shows have been hit-or-miss in the past, Fleetwood Mac and the self-avowed queen gleek herself, Stevie Nicks - who was on set for Gwyneth Paltrow's taping of "Landslide" earlier this year, cheering the cast on - surely won't be digging an early grave with her silver spoon after hearing and seeing these sensitive and respectful takes on her tunes - and Lindsey Buckingham‘s and Christine McVie‘s, as well. But, I guess if anyone in the group has an issue with any of these covers, they can always cast a spell using some white witches and black magic. Speaking of which - or witch - too bad they didn't do "Gold Dust Woman" or "Silver Springs"! And, no cover of "The Chain"? But, I suppose they're saving them for "Rumours: Part 2" or, perhaps, an all-Stevie Nicks episode - particularly if it happened to feature songs from her splendid new album, IN YOUR DREAMS, which is out this week (her first new album this decade). So, break out your feathers, rings, and shawls, we've got all the gypsy magic you can handle inside thanks to the ever-revolving door of the ever-evolving cast of GLEE paying due respect to the similarly designed/aligned folk/rock super-group of the 70s making their momentous musical marriage somehow oh-so-apropos to the times, no?

Kristin Burns... Photographer
blogged a little bit about her experience during the recording/filming of Stevie's new album.

Her photos are being used for the packaging, press, billboards, T-shirts, key chains, and the cover!

"Dave and Stevie had the novel idea to film a mini-movie of music videos, interviews, and more to accompany ‘In Your Dreams.’ Dave who is also a photographer asked me to work along side him and document the behind the scenes process of them working together."
