About Trouble In Shangri-La

Product Description The first new album in seven years from rock's superstar chanteuse, and her debut on Reprise, Trouble In Shangri-La is signature Stevie Nicks - magical and enchanting. With major contributions from Sheryl Crow as well as Macy Gray and Sarah McLachlan, Trouble In Shangri-La marks Nicks' return to the solo spotlight following Fleetwood Mac's enormously succesful reunion. Every Nicks solo album as well as both "best of" collections have been certified at least gold, and Trouble In Shangri-La should continue that streak with no trouble. Certified Gold by the RIAA. (6/01) Amazon.com Rock enchantress Stevie Nicks strips off the shawls, scarves, and most of the rest of her trademark witchy esoterica for her first album since 1994's rather precious Street Angel. Seemingly more comfortable in her skin, Nicks also settles more comfortably into her croaky, lived-in voice, and is a stronger presence for it. While Trouble in Shangri-La was produced in part by Sheryl Crow, Nicks also tapped the talents of John Shanks (Melissa Etheridge) and Sarah McLachlan producer Pierre Marchand (McLachlan adds her haunting pipes to "Love Is"). Also on hand are Dixie Chick Natalie Maines (on the rockabilly-like "Too Far from Texas"), and the ubiquitous Macy Gray growls on "Bombay Sapphire," a blistering, hard-charging track that recalls the best moments of Fleetwood Mac. Other standouts on the album are the unflinching, autobiographical "Fall from Grace," recorded at punk rock speed, and the winsome "Everyday," with its elegant, soulful lyrics. --Jaan Uhelszki
