She Does Two Things

The AMAZING 1982 version of "Julia" from THE WILD HEART!!!!!

Recorded in Dallas and produced by Gordon Perry.

The great Warren Zevon song "Reconsider Me."

"Mirror, Mirror" was recorded in 1984 for 'Rock A Little' but Stevie re-recorded it in 1992 for 'Street Angel.'

The final version of "Julia" recorded for 'Bella Donna'.

"Julia" was on one of the final acetates for 'Bella Donna' in June 1981 but Iovine literally took it off the album at the last minute in July 1981 and replaced it with "How Still My Love."

There are 2. "Storms" and the "The Dance" version of "Silver Springs."

Sorry. Didn't see "unreleased."

It's okay! A Stevie thread for everything is fine!

This version of "Rhiannon" from August 11, 1980, is one her most incredible performances!

"IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!?!?!!!!!!!!!"

The Nightmare from the Rock a Little album.

The instrumental break in the middle is about as unique as rock music gets.

R8 Here. Sorry guys I didn't see 'unreleased'.

I'm getting sloppy in my old age.

Alternate Version of "The Nightmare" from ROCK A LITTLE!!!!

R10 Thanks. I heard it years ago.

How Stevie sings over her own vocals on a 1981 take of "If You Were My Love" on Mirage is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

She once recorded a tailor-made version of a very famous Coca-Cola jingle:

"Things Go Better With Coke Blown Up My Ass."

"Ooh Ooh Baby" from 1985 is heartbreaking.

"You're really one of a kind!"

Her demo for The Chain. FM ultimately used her lyrics to complete the track for Rumours.

Bot just her lyrics. The whole chorus is in Stevie's own demo, so, mostly the song is hers except for instrumentals like the bass solo.

NOT just her lyrics.

"Joan Of Arc" was recorded in 1986 for 'Tango In The Night'.

Last year, Stevie said she wants to record it again and release it.

This unreleased version of "Dial The Number" was on the final track list for 'The Other Side Of The Mirror' in early 1989. I bought it on eBay in 2011 and shared it with the world.

Lindsey B used to hit her. I used to want to hit her every time she put on a shawl and started twirling around like a mad woman.

She has Welsh ancestry. My 4th boyfriend was a Welshman called Anthony. A stunning little man he was. Imagine a stocky Englishman with a provincial country bumpkin accent and muscles everywhere. And nice teeth.

I must be one of the very few who finds "Bella Donna" the least interesting (and melodic) of her solo albums. I was much happier with "The Wild Heart".

And loved "Rock A Little" too. Got in a mild fight recently with an old hippie asshole running a record store when I went in looking for a new copy of it (hoping a deluxe had been made like for the first two) and said, "Stevie Nicks made an album called 'Rock a Little" and--" And the grump said, "No, she didn't." You don't say shit like that to a fan. "Like hell she didn't, it has a white cover with her all in black mid-twirl..." I could sing every song on it by heart if that had been required.

I left without buying anything ultimately and him bitching that I'd be sorry when he went out of business. No, I won't. Anyone who doesn't know "Rock a Little" deserves poverty.

Julia and Sanctuary, both from the Bella Donna sessions. I was surprised that neither was recorded for her 24 Karat Gold - Songs from the Vault album.

The most surprising song on that album was Mabel Normand. There’s a demo from the mid-1980s that’s been bootlegged for years. It’s Stevie at her coked-out, incoherent worst. I was surprised not only that she thought it worth recording, but surprised at how awesome it turned out.

I’d spent decades making fun of the demo, and little did I know it would turn out to be one of my favorite of her songs.

ROCK A LITTLE is one of my favorites as well. "The Nightmare, "I Can't Wait", "No Spoken Word" are all in my favorites.

Stevie's gravelly voice on "Talk To Me" is incredible!!!!!

The version of "Julia" on THE WILD HEART is better for me.

I love how Stevie sings,

"People ask me

They ask me

They say

'So, Julie, just what is it that you do now?'

SHE DOES TWO THINGS!!!"

In 1996, Gordon Perry told me how he produced that version for THE WILD HEART but with Iovine as Executive Producer, her had the final say and cut the song from the album. "Julia" is about the movie JULIA and Stevie's friendship with Robin, so Stevie was very upset both times that Iovine axed the song from her albums.

Ew, I want to post some of Stevie's unreleased songs, but these unhinged women have made videos with Lindsey Buckingham in them, which the songs aren't about.

"I Call You Missing" is NOT about LB. It's about Joe Walsh.

"She Loves Him Still" was scheduled to be the closing song on ROCK A LITTLE in 1984 but did not get officially released until 2014 on Stevie's 24 KARAT GOLD album.

It was written about Joe Walsh.

She ALSO recorded - but never released - her version of "The Wiffenpoof Song," just so she could sing, "Baa! Baa! BAA!"

Okay, I went ahead and made a video for the STREET ANGEL version of "If You Were My Love" focusing on Stevie photos from 1992-1994.

FANTASTIC version!!!!!

Gold and Braid. Erroneously left off Bella Donna.
