Another enduring favorite is Stevie Nicks. Her latest, In Your Dreams, finds her in top form with timeless tunes. Once the tame introduction on "Moonlight ( In a Vampire's Dream ) " ends, our heroine is at her best over lively guitar chords. The beautiful "Italian Summer" is sweeping with its strings and drums.

The material of Nicks and her legendary band, Fleetwood Mac, has been covered by many. "Everywhere" has been redone by Chaka Khan and club outfit LnM Projekt with Bonnie Bailey on vocals. Oh his latest Ordinary Alien, Boy George remakes "Go Your Own Way." Glee dedicated an episode to the magnificent opus Rumors. Plus the show's lesbian character serenaded her friend with "Landslide" in another episode. The Irish family group The Coors had done a version of "Dreams."

Club-ready spins of Nicks and Fleetwood Mac's catalog have been popping up on dance label Centaur's compilations Fortitude Weekend and the Party Groove series Gay Days Volume 7, Pride 10 and 11 and Cherry Volume 4. There are "Rumors" that a proper collection full of Nicks and Fleetwood Mac covers will be out this fall on Centaur. Keep an eye out for this set on http:// www.theoutclub.com .

Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame teams with Nicks on her album In Your Dreams. The track "Cheaper Than Free" also appears on his outing The Blackbird Diaries. On his effort, Martina McBride, Colbie Caillat and The Secret Sisters cameo on "All Messed Up," "One Way Ticket to the Moon" and "Bulletproof Vest" respectively. Stewart offers Eric Clapton-worthy bluesy rock on "Beast Called Fame" and has the dark western ballad "The Well."

The double-disc The Dave Stewart Songbook: Volume 1 was released in 2008. Here, his collaborations with greats like Sinead O'Connor, Shakespears Sister, Tom Petty, Sarah McLachlan and, of course, Eurythmics are celebrated. After working on the Alfie soundtrack together, Stewart is reuniting with Mick Jagger to form the supergroup SuperHeavy with Joss Stone, Damian Marley and A.R. Rahman.
