The adrenaline coursing through Stevie Nicks is palpable, even over the phone. The Fleetwood Mac vocalist is pumped up about her forthcoming solo album and her mini-tour, making a stop tonight at Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
“Much of the new material was inspired by a trip to Italy, which was just fantastic,” Nicks said while calling from her Los Angeles home. “I wrote the most romantic ballad I’ve ever written that was inspired by my time in Rovello, Italy. I also wrote a rock ‘n’ blues song that kind of sounds like Canned Heat. You have to hear these songs.”
Nicks is anxious for her fans to experience her new tunes. However, you’ll have to wait until the album drops in 2011.
“As much as I want everyone to hear the new songs, I can’t do them live,” Nicks said. “I don’t want them on YouTube after the show looking and sounding terrible. When you hear these songs for the first time, I want you to hear them the way they should be heard.”
