Sure, Tom Petty shows up again ("I Will Run to You"), and Prince does, too, (playing synths on "Stand Back"), but all ten tracks here are defined by Nicks' energy and essence, making it clear that she was in it for the long haul as a solo artist. Sonically, it's a clear continuation of Bella Donna 's strengths. Although it didn't make quite the same impact as its prdecessor, Bella Donna did firmly establish Nicks as a highly individual artist on her own creative journey. Stevie Nicks' 1983 album The Wild Heart managed to do that, just two years after Bella Donna. The second album, however, has its own weird set of expectations where the artist should show growth and a continuing creative streak, but also comfortable familiarity. A true personality finally gets to emerge, as does, even better, the great material that didn ' t fit into the group setting. The debut solo album from an artist from a world-famous band has a seemingly infinite amount of baked-in excellence. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
