Album of the Day

As a member of Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks was already part of one of the world's most popular rock groups when she launched her solo career in 1981 with Bella Donna, a worldwide hit. Nicks proved that success was no fluke with her follow-up, The Wild Heart, which peaked at #5 on the Billboard album chart and has been certified double-Platinum. The 1983 collection produced singles “If Anyone Falls,” “Nightbird” and Top 10 favorite “Stand Back,” and the album-only tracks are just as appealing. Tom Petty co-produced the set and contributed “I Will Run To You,” which features him and the Heartbreakers; other musical guests include Mick Fleetwood, Toto's Steve Lukather and an uncredited Prince. The Wild Heart is the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer at her best.
