Lyricist and songwriter

[petep9000]

I would say Mike Campbell and Stevie Nicks have a great songwriting relationship, because there is little pressure for Stevie to come up with a melody. She just needs to retrofit her poems into his tracks. As much as Stevie claimed that her work with Dave Stewart was the most satisfying of her career (I doubt it really was), her working relationship with Campbell has stood the test of time and she never ever has anything negative to say about it, or vice versa. With Tom gone now, I have no doubt that Stevie could have first dibs on any music that Campbell writes, if she wanted it. But touring is so lucrative, I don't know why she would go through the effort to make an album that will only sell 20k copies or so.
