It wasn't even that he responded to her request to work with him for two days - he was already hanging around. He did the same with TISL - he was there on at least one other occasion when it had nothing to do with working that we know of. One of the reasons she (and probably him) like SA so much is the callback to Buckingham Nicks, something they hold very dear to them. I think Stevie is wary of a longer term recording process with him but those few days here and there? I think they love/d it.
"So Lindsey came in and played guitar. It's just Lindsey and me. It's very Buckingham Nicks and I think that it's going to be a very serious and important song to the world and I think it's a very serious and important song for Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks because it sounds like Buckingham Nicks. Because it is."
"We recorded it live and did some harmonies, and then he did some little lead guitar things and it was perfect," Nicks says. "There's no other players, just me and him. Not only did we create something that's probably as Buckingham Nicks as we have been since 1973, but... I think that song really brought Lindsey and I back together. He said to me as he was leaving on that second day, 'I feel like we're closer than we've been in 30 years.' It certainly opens a lot of doors."
Lindsey agreed on the closeness issue, saying at one point it was probably the closest they've been since the early seventies, if I recall correctly.
Music has the ability to harm and injure the relationship, yes, but done right? It's a healer.
But they both feel they’re turned a corner with the duet ‘Soldier’s Angel’ off her In Your Dreams album, released yesterday. Buckingham says, “You don’t want things to end in any other than a positive and unified way. So I was quite happy to see that come about.” ... Could this lead to another Buckingham Nicks album? Eight years ago, Buckingham said he’d be up for it, and Stevie now says, “Maybe Lindsey and I will go off and rent a house in Wales and do a Buckingham Nicks album. I have no idea, but I do know the music will continue."
Two solitary days working together, my arse...
“I spent a lot of time with Stevie when she was making her solo album this last year and we spent a lot of really nice quality time…”
"I’ve spent a good deal of time with Stevie in the last year and we’re getting along, you know, as good or better than we’ve ever gotten along”
"You know, she has an album out as well and we spent a good deal of time together…”
"I knew Stevie was working on a solo album and I called up and I said, ‘Is there anything I can do?’ So I started going over there and hanging out, and we just had the best time. You know, I’ve known her since I was in high school. You would think that at this point in our lives together, the road we’ve been down, that there would be nothing left to figure out, nothing left to work out, nothing left to evolve, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I think it’s very sweet that there are still some chapters left for Stevie and me."
