American Songwriter Q&A

[Jondalar]

I'm not purchasing this or supporting this, since Stevie is not on the cover.

What's the difference? It's not like purchasing a copy would support Stevie financially ; whether she was on the cover or not. Go buy another copy of IYD instead or something.

[Jondalar]

She put some of her best work since the 1980s and she has not gotten one single magazine cover. Sorry, I'm not buying. I'm not supporting Paul Simon, the critics darling. I will support her for a true achievement.

Love this! One of the best interviews I've read, IMO....and I sort of think "Tangle In The Night" would be a good name for the 'extras' disc

Finally - an interview with interesting questions.
How great to finally read an article about Stevie Nicks that doesn't bore us to tears with the same old stories about her relationship and break up with Lindsey Buckingham, or her klonopin and cocaine addictions.

This is all about the music and songwriting - and how she regained control of her voice.
All things that I would have asked her had I ever had a chance to interview her for an article.

Bravo American Songwriter - and thank you for elevating Stevie Nicks to a place where she belongs.

I could be mistaken, but I think this is the first time that Stevie has ever acknowledged the deterioration of her voice. Albeit, a temporary deterioration, now that she has fully restored it.

Yes, it was refreshing! In all fairness, though, it IS a magazine about songwriting. Not sure the general reader of People Magazine would want to read three paragraphs about Steve Real.

There was a reason people (fans and the unconvinced) were on the edge of their seats when they watched The Dance on TV in 1997. A lot of people didn't think they could pull it off and I know I was sort of caught off guard when they played Dreams and especially Silver Springs. I kept waiting for her to screw up and it never happened.
It was clear that she had been working with a vocal coach and I think it's really the only reason she's been able to reinvent herself.
And I think she sounds better now then she did then.

It's pretty amazing if you go back to Tango In The Night or even The Wild Heart album and listen to her singing. She has so much more range and control now.

Maybe she should do an album of standards. I'm still amazed at how great she sounded on At Last from the Walden Woods benefit.

Range? ... No..

Control, yes.
