Justine Bennett w/ Valida – Wild Heart (Stevie Nicks cover)
Recorded “with a bottle of scotch and a one-dollar guitar” by Matt Haick and Brian Randazzo, “Wild Heart” sounds lovely on an acoustic, with just a few perfectly placed electric grace notes, and low male harmonies more soothing than aching. This is the one and only track Dead on Camera has on SoundCloud, and that’s a damn shame. Dead on Camera – Wild Heart (Stevie Nicks cover) Her live cover of “Wild Heart” stays very close to Stevie’s, to such a degree that it takes a few moments to determine that that’s not Stevie singing. These covers conjure up some very special sparks of their own… Susanne Sundfør – Wild Heart (Stevie Nicks cover)įrom the land of the midnight sun comes Susanne Sundfør, a Norwegian art pop musician whose tapestry of influences contains many, many threads, ranging from Carly Simon to Aphex Twin. There’s just no forcing magic, and there was nothing forced about this performance. Numerous commenters talk about how often they come back to the video, and all the SoundCloud version below are covers of her candid outtake, rather than her polished title track. That’s the version of the song people have latched onto. The whole thing was captured on video, and uploaded onto YouTube in 2008. But the internet changed all that.ĭuring a break from a 1981 Rolling Stone cover photo shoot, someone put on the demo track for “Wild Heart.” Stevie sang along, very free and easy, with her makeup artist Liza Jane and her backup vocalist and sister-in-law Lori Nicks joining in. (Don’t cry for Lindsey, though – he did some repurposing too, changing the song to “Can’t Go Back” from Fleetwood Mac’s Mirage album.) Stevie’s track didn’t get singled out for attention – not with “If Anyone Falls” and “Stand Back” on the same album – and it looked destined to fall through the cracks. She added new lyrics to the near-title track, and gave it new music to boot. Then Stevie took the song and repurposed it for her second album, The Wild Heart. “Wild Heart” started out as a collaboration with Lindsey Buckingham – his music, her words.
We’ve discussed “Landslide,” her signature song that she brought to Fleetwood Mac now we’ll pay tribute to what she accomplished after she emerged from their shadow. Before Diana Ross, before Tina Turner, before Janis Joplin, before any other woman. She’s the first woman to be elected twice – once with Fleetwood Mac, and once for her solo career.
Stevie Nicks’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a historic one.
