(Review) Rock On, Ancient Queen - Stevie Nicks is back (The New Yorker)

by Sasha Frere-Jones

"Nicks’s mode of songwriting is as concrete as her outfits are diaphanous. Her lyrics are plainspoken, generally narrative, and lower on symbology than her fans seem to think. Even though “Moonlight,” the first track on the new album, was inspired by the “Twilight” series of books and movies, vampirism isn’t the pull—it’s just the usual story of a coupling that is too logistically complicated to pull off."

'Rumours' has it....

Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" may re-enter the Billboard tally next week, thanks to the power of Fox's "Glee".  The TV series dedicated its entire May 3rd episode to the 1977 No. 1 album.  The Cast performed six of the set's 11 songs, while a seventh album track was heard in its original form as background music.  Early sales projections from industry sources suggest "Rumours" could move around 20,000 copies in the US in the week ending May 8th, which could place it among the top 30 on the billboard 200 next week.
