Legendary singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks discusses her 2011 Summer tour in promotion of her latest album, "In Your Dreams."
(CBS News) She's a truthful storyteller, a dreamer and a Fleetwood Mac icon. And at age 62, Stevie Nicks continues to seduce audiences with her raspy, sultry voice.
With flowing scarves, gypsy flair and an ethereal edge, Nicks is stepping up to the mic again to headline her "In Your Dreams" tour, which kicked off on Aug. 9 in Denver, Colo.
Nicks will hit 15 cities in concerts that will feature seven new songs from her solo album, "In Your Dreams," which debuted last month at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart.
"It's kind of scary to put that many new songs into a set," Nicks tells CBSNews.com. After coming off of two successful tours - "Heart & Soul Tour" with Rod Stewart and a reunion tour with Fleetwood Mac, who can blame her for worrying?
Despite that, she got great reviews recently for a mixed showcase set in a smaller, more intimate setting at L.A.'s Wiltern Theater.
"It worked beautifully and I thought, 'You know what I can actually take this set on the road.' So this is really going to be a good opportunity for people to actually see half of the songs that are on this record, and I am so thrilled to be able to do them live for people," she said. "I think it's a great album and I think that the songs are really marvelous and Dave Stewart and I worked so hard on this."
Nicks collaborated with Grammy-award winning Eurythmics' guitarist Dave Stewart on the album, in what she calls a "magical" experience.
"We had no time limits, no rules and we were able to spend the time to make a record like we used to do in the old days. It was really special," she adds. "I think it was a moment in time and to be able to take that moment in time and put it on stage is really exciting for me. I think everybody is going to be knocked out with this show."
