About the artist
With The Wild Heart, Stevie Nicks has again shown herself to be in complete control of one of pop music's most successful balancing acts. A member of Fleetwood Mac since 1975, she has contributed mightily to that group's string of hit albums and singles. At the same time, she is now two albums into a solo career that has already made her a potent attraction both on record and on stage.
The Wild Heart is Nicks' successor to Bella Donna, her 1981 solo debut, and it features some of the same cast that helped make Bella Donna a two million seller. Tom Petty, who dueted with Stevie on her first hit single, "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," is back for "I Will Run To You," this time with all of his Heartbreakers on hand as well. Other guest performers include pianist Roy Bittan (from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band), guitarists Waddy Wachtel, Steve Lukather (from Toto) and Don Felder (late of the Eagles), and drummer Chet McCracken (an ex-Doobie Brother) and Mick Fleetwood, a founding member of Fleetwood Mac.
Raised primarily in Los Angeles and Phoenix, Stephanie L. "Stevie" Nicks developed an interest in music sitting at her grandfather's knee. Her first foray into songwriting came at 16, following a breakup with her boyfriend. "It was terribly sad, terribly emotional ," she once said. "But it was a beginning."
Stevie went on to join Fritz, a San Francisco area rock band that featured Lindsey Buckingham on guitar, bass and vocals. Stevie and Lindsey's romantic and musical relationship flourished; they moved to Los Angeles after Fritz broke up, and in 1973 they recorded an album of their own songs, entitled Buckingham Nicks. After hearing their album in 1975, Mick Fleetwood invited the duo to join Fleetwood Mac.
Nicks' stint with Fleetwood Mac has included the albums Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk, Fleetwood Mac Live and Mirage. Among her individual contributions to the group are "Rhiannon," "Dreams" (Fleetwood Mac's first-ever number one single in America), "Sara" and "Gypsy."
Considering her prolific songwriting output a solo career to accommodate songs not recorded by Fleetwood Mac was almost inevitable, and it has paid off in style. Aside from "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," her hits from Bella Donna were "Leather and Lace" (a duet with ex-Eagle Don Henley), "Edge of Seventeen" (a Grammy nominee in the Best Female Rock Vocal Category) and "After the Glitter Fades."

Reflections on Stevie's "Wild Heart"...
Review written by Jon the Moonspinner, February 16th, 2010
Stevie Nicks is so interesting and entertaining to listen to in conversation, I always thought it a shame that her interview-musings about life in the spotlight never made it into any of her album contributions (poetic as they are). There's a 1977 Westwood interview disc floating around somewhere in which Nicks is very funny and upfront about having to perform with a stomach ache on some nights, or needing a quick nap before getting down to the gig. That's the REAL Stevie, and she's hiding for the most part on "The Wild Heart". The lady she conjures up on "Nightbird" is a provocatively conflicted woman of the world...but I didn't buy the "Gate & Garden" enchantress nor the silver screen sparrow of "Beauty and the Beast". Decent songs, yes, but not up to classic standards.
Better than Zeppelin
Review written by Scottish Gordon, November 11th, 2005
This album is the most complete body of work ever released by anyone. Smooth sophisticated songwritng with a production putting a fantastic sheen on beautiful songs like "Sable on Blond" and "Nightbird". Also, "Stand Back" is simply the greatest pop/dance/rock single ever released - it still holds up 22 years later. Stevie peaked with this album and nothing by the Mac came close altho Rock a Little nearly matched it. I never heard any other singer or band write as many well crafted songs as Ms Nicks - the greatest female songwriter of the 20th century.
Stevie really is "Wild Hearted"!
Review written by Anonymous, August 14th, 2004
By 1983, Stevie Nicks was at the top of her career. She was, at the time, THE queen of popular music, with her solo debut just two years earlier with the blockbuster "Bella Donna", and she had also done a very successful album with Fleetwood Mac in 1982, "Mirage". So, with the release of "The Wild Heart", fans were expecting a sound similar to "Bella Donna", but the musical style was changing just a tad bit, mostly with the brand new synthesizers that she had experimented with on this album. They arent a bad thing. Acutally, they add a lot more of excitement and flair to the songs, mostly with the hits "Stand Back" (which has to be one of the best dance songs...EVER) and "If Anyone Falls" with its killer chorus. But of course, there are other songs that are worth listening to also, and that are very good, including the title track (it sounds like Stevie does go wild at the very end of this song!), "Enchanted", "Nightbird" (which is very important to be on this album, since the song was written for Stevie's best friend, Robyn Snyder Anderson, who had died of lukemia only a few short months before the album's release), and "Beauty And The Beast". It is one of the most beautiful ballads that she has ever written, and it creates a lot of imagery in your mind. But, there are some of the not-so-good on here as well. For instance, take "Sable On Blonde". Why does it sound like part two of "Dreams", but with a certain blandness??? I would have liked "Gate And Garden" very much...if the lyrics had made sense. I mean, maybe it is just me, but I can't understand what she is trying to say. But some of the lyrics are memorable on that song, like "So to the red rose...grows the passion", and it does have a catchy little melody. "Nothing Ever Changes" sounds like a very agressive attack on a lover of hers, or a former lover, and is very repetitive, and gets boring after a while. "I Will Run To You" is alright, but it is so obvious that they are trying to recreate the "so called magic" of "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." This is an alright album, and can be very enjoyable, at times. But there are some duds, but, like I said before, this does also have the goods. This album creates a landscape of love and romance, that you can't find on any of Stevie's other albums, or on any other artists' albums, for that matter.

Nicks follows the multi-platinum "Bella Donna" with an album that's just a bit harder rocking in the main than that pop smash. "Stand Back" is a tough rhythm number and "Enchanted" a sly boogie rocker that tie into radio's embrace of harder textures in the two years since Nicks' solo debut. But there are also plenty of softer ballads to bring pop and AC play, including "Nightbird" and "Sable On Blond," which have the sinuous midtempo pop approach of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams." And Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are back on "I Will Run To You," a smoky ballad that would make a strong single. (Billboard Magazine, June 18, 1983)
