In Your Dreams

• NICKS STEVIE IN YOURS DREAMS

<i>In Your Dreams</i> is Nicks' first CD of new material since the release of her Grammy nominated <i>Trouble in Shangri-La</i> ten years ago. <i>In Your Dreams</i> was written and recorded at Nicks' Los Angeles home and is co-produced by Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard. Nicks and Stewart co-wrote seven of the album's thirteen songs. "I had written a song in Brisbane, Australia when I was on tour with Fleetwood Mac in 2009 called 'Moonlight - A Vampire's Dream' which was inspired by the <i>New Moon</i> film. When I finished writing that song, which came together really quickly, I knew the time was right to start recording. We had a core group of five people who were at the heart of the creation of <i>In Your Dreams</i>. Dave and myself, my longtime friend and musical director, Waddy Wachtel, and my girls, Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks. It was a perfect blend,"" commented Nicks. "This was one of the most extraordinary experiences I've had making a record. It is the first album that I have had this kind of collaboration since the making of <i>Rumours</i>. Dave created a situation where I could be totally creative and focused on writing songs and making music. I cannot remember ever having this much fun making a record. Writing the songs and recording them in my home studio was the key element in how this music turned out. It made the whole process seem very similar to how we used to work back in the day," she concluded.<br><br>The first single is "Secret Love" written by Nicks. "It was 1976 and Fleetwood Mac was opening for Peter Frampton at the time. It was written about a forbidden relationship - not Peter and I," laughed Nicks. "I always knew that one day I was going to record the song."<br><br>Nicks is currently gearing up to join forces with fellow rocker Rod Stewart for the 16 city <i>Heart & Soul Tour</i>, one of the most anticipated music events of the year.
