    Stevie joins Harry Styles @ secret LA show

    Stevie made a surprise appearance at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on Friday night, performing onstage with One Direction star Harry Styles. Harry was promoting his eponymous debut solo album, which was released on May 12.

    Stevie came onstage toward the end of the show. Harry affirmed to the crowd that he was in the presence of greatness.

    “I’m pretty sure that this was going to be up there with one of the best nights of my life. If there was any doubt, I’m pretty sure I’d like to confirm, in my entire life, I never thought I’d be able to say this: Please welcome to the stage, Stevie Nicks.”

    Stevie first accompanied Harry on his song “Two Ghosts,” and then the two performed “Landslide” and “Leather and Lace,” serenading each other to thunderous audience appreciation.

    A big fan of Stevie’s, Harry was instantly brought to tears when the legendary Miss Nicks came out onstage.

    Stevie Nicks performed the Fleetwood Mac classic “Landslide” on Wednesday night’s America’s Got Talent finale. After the performance, AGT host Nick Cannon asked what kind of advice Stevie had for finalist Grace Vanderwaal, to which she replied, “She reminds me a lot of me [because] in a lot ways we sing very similar. And we like to be quirky and we like to be a little weird and different and not exactly like everybody else. But we like that, and she’s got it. Whatever happens, Grace is going to the top!”

    Nick wrapped up Stevie’s segment by promoting her upcoming 24 Karat Gold Tour (which begins in Phoenix on October 25) and, most importantly, declaring her “The Queen of Rock and Roll” to the 13+ million viewers who watched the finale.

    Lady Antebellum wrap up shows with ‘Landslide’ encore

    The country trio continues to pay respect, tribute at shows for the music of Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac

    Lady Antebellum have been closing their summer shows with Fleetwood Mac’s classic “Landslide.” The band, which is currently in the middle of the Wheels Up Tour with special guest Hunter Hayes, added the perennial favorite as an encore to their set in June. From the videos below, it’s clear that their rendition has been a good-old-fashioned-sing-along session with audiences.

    Stevie Nicks has shared a special bond with the country trio ever since they collaborated on CMT Crossroads in 2013. In 2014, the two powerhouse acts found themselves together once again, first with Stevie adding her vocals to a special rerecorded version of the band’s 2013 song “Golden” and then Lady Antebellum turning up on Stevie’s “Blue Water” from 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault.

    Here are two recent performances of “Landslide” from the band’s June 2 concert in Irvine, California and July 29 pre-show acoustic performance in West Valley City, near Salt Lake City. (Get ready to bust out the tissues!)

    “LANDSLIDE”
    Written by Stevie Nicks
    Published by Welsh Witch
    Music: Sony/ATV Music (BMI)

    Among the many treasures in Fleetwood Mac’s repertoire, the beautiful ballad “Landslide” is one of the most memorable. Penned by Stevie Nicks, the tune was first recorded on the band’s self-titled 1975 album and was released in 1980. However, the song didn’t chart as a single until it was culled from the Mac’s most recent album, “The Dance.” It climbed to No. 10 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart in April 1998 and peaked at No. 51 on The Billboard Hot 100 in August last year:

    Most recently the song received a gorgeous, harmony-laden treatment from California-based folk/pop foursome Venice on its new albums, “Spin Art.” The Vanguard Records act consists of brothers Mark and Michael Lennon and their cousins Pat and Kipp Lennon (brother of “The Lawrence Welk Show’s” singing Lennon Sisters). “Landslide” is the only cover tune on the 13-track album.

    “Growing up as a family, we always listened to the Beatles, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and the Eagles. Then Fleetwood Mac came along the blew us away,” says Mark Lennon. “When we formed a band 20 years ago, we started doing cover tunes, playing all the clubs in Hollywood. They’d tell me, ‘You’re 14. You come out to sing’ … Then we started writing our own original stuff and doing acoustic shows in 1988 or ’89.

    “We started doing a few covers in our acoustic shows and decided to do ‘Landslide.’ We did it in the same key as Stevie Nicks. We just added our own harmonies on the chorus, and people were going crazy.

    “We did it for so many years that everybody started saying, ‘You guys should record that. Finally, on this album we were talking about doing a cover time tune. We do the Jackson 5’s ‘I Want You Back’ in our live show for our blended together; but everyone kept saying, ‘You need to do “Landslide.”‘ So finally after all these years, we said, ‘Let’s record it, and if it makes the 12 or 13 of the final cut, it’s there.’

    So that’s what we did. It made the cut on the album, and now we’re getting this great feedback from it.”

    Lennon says Nicks’ gift as a lyricist makes the song an enduring classic. “Stevie Nicks writes in such an incredible way. Her lyrics are so different. Ten different people could tell you what that song means, and it would all be different meanings … The Lyrics mean something else to everybody. That’s how mystical she is. She can really pull you in. You can make her songs what you want them to be about. Overall, that song is undeniably a beautiful hit.”

  • Fleetwood Mac

    Fleetwood Mac

    Fleetwood MacNOT ONLY IS Fleetwood Mac no longer blues oriented, it isn’t even really British: The two newest members, Lindsey Buckingham (guitar and vocals) and Stevie Nicks (vocals, acoustic guitar) are American, and all five members are now based in Los Angeles.

    The band began its spiritual journey to L.A. a half-dozen albums ago on Future Games when it was led by the often dazzling guitarist/singer Danny Kirwan. Kirwan is long gone but his inspiration lingers in the songs and singing of Christine McVie (who’s also developed into an effective keyboard player) and in the electric guitar playing of Buckingham, who likes to interpose aching, Kirwanesque leads and textured, Byrds-like rhythm lines. Thanks to their efforts, Fleetwood Mac is easily the group’s best and most consistent album since Bare Trees, the last to feature Kirwan.

    The four songs written and sung by Christine McVie make it clearer than ever that she’s one of the best female vocalists in pop, and a deft song craftswoman as well. “Say You Love Me,” “Over My Head,” “Sugar Daddy” and “Warm Ways” transform conventional pop-song structures into durably attractive and believably genuine pieces – each sounds like an ideal radio song. McVie’s singing — slightly husky, not beautiful but unaffected — is simply captivating; she does everything right.

    But her contributions have been a strong point since she first appeared with the group on Kiln House; what makes this album a marked improvement over the last several are the efforts of Buckingham, who gives Fleetwood Mac a distinguished and fitting guitar and vocal presence, something the band has lacked since Kirwan’s departure. Of the four tracks he dominates, “Monday Morning” has the most initial appeal, but the hard-edged guitar song, “World Turning” (a McVie/Buckingham collaboration) and the gorgeously somber “I’m So Afraid” stand out more and more as the album grows more familiar.

    Nicks, on the other hand, has yet to integrate herself into the group style. Compared to McVie’s, her singing seems callow and mannered, especially on “Landslide,” where she sounds lost and out of place — although to be fair, this is more a problem of context than of absolute quality. Her “Rhiannon,” colored by Buckingham’s Kirwan-style guitar, works a little better and “Crystal,” on which Buckingham joins her on lead vocal, suggests that she may yet find a comfortable slot in this band.

    Thanks to the rapport that is evident between McVie and Buckingham, Fleetwood Mac adds up to an impressively smooth transitional album.
