As for Stevie's solo work, I love it and can't believe anyone has said anything negative about Trouble In Shangri-La, haha! I LOVE it!

That's what makes the big, wide world. I'd rather listen to ten seconds of HOLD ME than anything on "Trouble in Shangri-La." The latter is all ridiculous gloom & doom, not a minute of it believable with me.
Why are Stevie's albums so unrelievedly dour? Is that her idea of "poetic"? One critic years ago said of a Fleetwood Mac track that it "bristles with randy fun." Another critic enthusiastically called a Buckingham solo album a "sublime whoopee cushion." Can you imagine anything like that being said of Stevie's solo work?
Why doesn't she ever lighten up in her own work?
