Apr 21, 2024 · The sultry “Leather and Lace” showcases Stevie’s surprising versatility. Originally penned for a country duet album by Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, the song somehow landed in Nicks’ hands. Luckily for us, she decided to keep it for herself and enlisted the talents of Eagles frontman Don Henley.

Despite speculations that they were linked romantically, Nicks has maintained that she and Kenny Loggins were only ever really good pals. “Whenever I Call You ‘Friend’” is a rare, heartwarming ode to the platonic love that grounds great friendships. (Although, depending how you interpret the lyrics, benefits might’ve been involved.)
A highlight from her debut solo album, Bella Donna, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” helped re-introduce Stevie Nicks, the Fleetwood Mac singer, as Stevie Nicks, the solo artist. Though the duet with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was great for optics, it’s really Nicks who steals the show.
Nicks originally wrote the country-tinged charmer “Leather and Lace” for Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter’s eponymous duet album. Somehow, it didn’t make the cut, meaning Nicks was able to keep the song for herself (and Eagles singer Don Henley). Not a bad turn of events, if you ask us.
Though Nicks is regarded as a rock icon, her instantly-recognizable voice suits a variety of genres. This fact was solidified with “Can’t Get Enough,” her debut with blues legend B.B. King.
Believe it or not, Nicks wrote “Sorcerer” in 1972 while performing in the pre-Fleetwood Mac duo, Buckingham Nicks. Marilyn Martin was the first singer to properly record the song in 1984; with a little help from aughts country icon Sheryl Crow, Nicks’ version finally saw a release in 2001.
Stevie Nicks had been commissioned by Jennings to write a single for this album which would have been the title cut, although the song did not appear on the album. Nicks went on to record the song as a duet with Don Henley on her 1981 album, Bella Donna , and it would become a top-ten U.S. hit later that year.

Oct 12, 2023 · Upon finding out that Jennings wanted to sing the song alone, Nicks was far too attached to the song as a duet. “After all the work I had put into the philosophy of two people dealing with this problem, I told Waylon that only four people in the world could sing this song: he and his wife, or myself and Don Henley,” she stated.
