About this listen

Grab your lace shawl and top hat and get ready to twirl—this is a full-throttle appreciation of the life and voice of Stevie Nicks from one of rock criticism’s most celebrated writers.

Best-selling author and Rolling Stone columnist Rob Sheffield explores the music and artistry of the rock goddess who has kept generations of music lovers totally bewitched and spellbound, with such classic rock hits as "Rhiannon" and "Gypsy." With Stevie Nicks’s 2019 solo induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the time is right to uncover the stories behind the songs you love. Learn about the people, places, and events that have influenced her work—and why Nicks’ music is as powerfully alluring today as it was when you first heard it decades ago.

Drawing from Rolling Stone magazine’s extensive archives, and his long time appreciation of Nicks, Sheffield shares the stories behind the best-selling records and the spitfire 1997 Fleetwood Mac reunion show that put the band back on top of the charts—and why Stevie Nicks still speaks to us today. A dynamic, revelatory sketch of the one-of-a-kind icon, The Wild Heart of Stevie Nicks is a portrait as revealing as it is dazzling, as human as it is pure magic

Loved this book!

If you like Stevie Nicks - this is a wonderful look behind the curtain of her life.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the book - then her music - then the book - then her music 😎

A Short, Informative Listen

Rob Sheffield gives us a short perspective on Stevie Nicks' place in rock history which I found to be a nice complement to her autobiography.

I have read criticisms of Sheffield's work that he gets carried away inserting lyrics into his writing. In other books, I have found this to be an effective and enjoyable technique, but I do find that he does it far too frequently in this book, but it doesn't take too much away from it for me; it's just mildly distracting.

I have listened to a number of Sheffield's books, and I really enjoy his voice and style of reading.

It was alright

A good introduction of who Stevie Nicks, her music and Fleetwood Mac. Yet, I was yearning for something more to hear. This was a bit boring for my taste of biographies about musicians and artists. Will look more into other Stevie Nicks bio and music.

Yawning

Ya, it's a short book. But we have no idea about the ethos of Stevie Nicks, her deep thoughts, her worries, what she's most proud of. We don't get to know her at all. The fact is, she is hard to know, but also quite boring to an outsider. No apparent sense of humour. She always seems like a flat character to me.

I found it a challenge to listen to and boring

I did not enjoy this biography. I had to start it over again several times as I was loosing interest in it. Very easy to use to fall asleep to.
