Trouble In Shangri-La ()

Stevie Nicks' new album is by far her greatest solo work, ever. On previous works, the Queen of Rock was never quite able to step out of the shadow of her Fleetwood Mac fame, but here, she soars past it. Songs such as 'Sourcerer' employ notes that Stevie hasn't reached since the days of Buckingham/Nicks. 'Planets of the Universe' ranks as one of the most powerful songs she has ever written. As in the past with Lindsey Buckingham and others, Stevie's voice perfectly compliments every guest on this album. Sheryl Crow, Natalie Maines, and Macy Gray are all wonderful in their contributions. Sadly, However, Macy Gray's role on the album is barely noticeable. "Trouble in Shangri-La" ranks as one of the finest works Stevie Nicks has ever accomplished, and hopefully, she has many more pieces like this left in her... and maybe even a Fleetwood Mac album or two!!
