Stevie Nicks – The Wild Heart (Deluxe Edition 2016) (1983/2016) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

Stevie Nicks, the legendary singer songwriter whose highly acclaimed 30 year solo career includes seven studio albums, iconic hits, and record sales in the millions, releases deluxe editions with newly remastered audio and never before released live and recorded music from her first two solo albums Bella Donna and The Wild Heart.

Nicks returned in 1983 with her follow-up to Bella Donna, The Wild Heart, which peaked at #5 on the album chart and has been certified double platinum. The album produced hits like “Stand Back,” “Nightbird” and “I Will Run To You,” which features Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. THE WILD HEART: DELUXE EDITION builds on the original album with unreleased versions of “All The Beautiful Worlds” a session version of “Wild Heart” and “Garbo,” the B-side to “Stand Back.”

The debut solo album from an artist from a world-famous band has a seemingly infinite amount of baked-in excellence. A true personality finally gets to emerge, as does, even better, the great material that didn’t fit into the group setting. The second album, however, has its own weird set of expectations where the artist should show growth and a continuing creative streak, but also comfortable familiarity. Stevie Nicks’ 1983 album The Wild Heart managed to do that, just two years after Bella Donna. Although it didn’t make quite the same impact as its prdecessor, Bella Donna did firmly establish Nicks as a highly individual artist on her own creative journey. Sonically, it’s a clear continuation of Bella Donna’s strengths. Sure, Tom Petty shows up again (“I Will Run to You”), and Prince does, too, (playing synths on “Stand Back”), but all ten tracks here are defined by Nicks’ energy and essence, making it clear that she was in it for the long haul as a solo artist. – Jason Ferguson
