I'm making this post so all of The Soundstage Sessions reviews can be compiled into this one thread as they come in.
Album: Stevie Nicks, The Soundstage Sessions, (Reprise)

Stevie Nicks' voice is one of the musical wonders of the world – she's almost alone in making the concept of adult oriented rock seem enticing and not a soul-crushing bore – so any opportunity to hear it in full flight, such as this televised concert, is welcome.
Though slightly ravaged, her voice remains a miraculous thing, able to make even a Dave Matthews Band song tolerable ("Crash"). Nicks's stripped-down versions of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" and "Sara" are things of traffic-stopping beauty.
Pick of the album: Where everyone would love to drown: 'Sara'
