PHILIP MARTIN Stevie Nicks The Soundstage Sessions Reprise BHow to categorize Stevie Nicks? Back in the day, she (with and without Fleetwood Mac) was a fanciful rock star. Now her music dwells in the realm of nostalgia and easy listening.
The 10 songs here (mostly her classics recorded for the Live in Chicago DVD) are lush orchestral stuff - danceable and soft on the ears, but ultimately uninteresting. She revisits hits such as "Stand Back," "Rhiannon" and "Landslide" with mostly predictable results, although "Stand Back" sounds best when Nicks stands back and lets guitarist Carlos Rios into the spotlight.
