That shot is absolutely stunning!!!

Stevie got an A in her review from Entertainment Weekly.
Higher than any other artist reviewed this issue. Higher than Gaga (B-) J-Lo (C) and the Beastie Boys (A-)
But J-Lo got a whole page review??? and Stevie got a little quarter of a column???

Meh, that's just to sell copies. It's the grade that counts!

Here's a stock photo the New York Times uses for Stevie. I thinks it is great and one of best "natural" looks.

The highest grade she or Fleetwood Mac ever recieved from EW for a new studio album ..nice.

[JimSATX]

Instinct magazine has a blurb about Stevie in their "Scorching Summer Entertainment Guide." In their listing of new music releases for the summer, she's first on the list, even before Lady Gaga and JLo!

What an exciting time to be a Stevie fan! Not that I've ever been ashamed in my 25 years of being a fan but I am so very proud of her!! I cannot wait to hear this CD. I AM DYING!!

She seems to be going through a Betty White style renaissance right now, doesn't she? Suddenly everyone is coming out in adoration of her, and her career really seems to be getting a second wind.

Two more great reviews for IN YOUR DREAMS

“In Your Dreams” Stevie Nicks (Warner) *** ½
While we all wait (okay, maybe just some of us) for anything new from Fleetwood Mac, Stevie’s first album of solo material in ten years, co-produced by Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard, is going to fill the gap very nicely.
While on tour with the Mac in Australia in ’09, Nicks wrote “Moonlight (A Vampire’s Dream)”, inspired by the “New Moon” flick, and knew it was time to start making another album. “This was one of the most extraordinary experiences I’ve had, making a record” she says of “In Your Dreams”. “It’s the first time I’ve had this sort of collaboration since making ‘Rumours’.” “Dreams” was made in her home studio and besides Stewart and Ballard, her collaborators include longtime friend and musical director Waddy Watchel, Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks. I can’t compare this to any of her other solo albums because, other than a few of her hits, my main contact with her music is through Fleetwood Mac. “In Your Dreams” comes about like a great Mac album without the angst and antagonism. Songs like “Wild Sargasso Sea” are dramatic and sexy (musically not unlike “Tweeter & The Monkey Man”) and there is some truly fine ballad work too, as only Stevie can do it. She just keeps getting better, and that’s just the way it’s supposed to be.
Hot Spots: “Secret Love” (also the first single), “In Your Dreams”, “Wild Sargasso Sea”, “Ghosts Are Gone”

Review: Stevie Nicks - In Your Dreams 4 out of 5 stars
On Stevie Nicks first album in a decade she puts her bluesy voice down on a large variety of tracks from rocking pop songs Secret Love, In Your Dreams, Annabel Lee to old-school For What It's Worth and You May Be The One to pure bluesy rock Wild Sargasso Sea, Soldier's Angel and Ghosts Are Gone.


The album sounds like a pleasant mixture of old and new, and most pleasantly it works. The songs have a kind of mysticism to them, Stevie singing about ghosts and vampires. The stories are beautifully told by Stevie's voice that shines especially on slower New Orleans, which is the absolute highlight of the album.

I can see why the modern sounds on tracks like Moonlight and Secret Love could be a problem for some fans of Nick's, but it didn't actually bother me at all, the CD sounds very current and at times I almost forgot that Stevie actually is 62 not 22 years old.

The record is closed with a very beautiful duet ballad Cheaper Than Free.

Trying to conclude everything In Your Dreams sounds fresh but still familiar at the same time, Stevie stills sounds wonderful and everything else also seems to be working, the track listing is a nice variety of genres... Just make sure you get this record when it's released 3rd May (!)

I don't care that some don't like the harder, guitar oriented nature of this album. I freaking love it... rocker chick Stevie is my fav Stevie.

Louie, I think I had mentioned this awhile back, but I totally agree with you- I was HOPING for a more intense guitar oriented Stevie album and we actually got it, especially the back half of the record!!
