“We didn’t get married because we were in love, we got married because we were grieving and it was the only way that we could feel like we were doing anything.” Just after the Nicks-Anderson marriage, Nicks heard Prince’s Little Red Corvette on the radio and was immediately inspired to write Stand Back she rang Prince to tell him and, when the song was recorded, he came into play synths on it. “We got married three months after she died, and it was a terrible, terrible mistake,” Nicks has said. Grief-stricken by the death of her best friend, Robin Snyder Anderson (the inspiration behind the song Gypsy, from Fleetwood Mac’s 1982 album, Mirage), Nicks and Robin’s husband, Kim, wed. Nicks had a short-lived marriage at the start of 1983. “It was fun to do, and it wound up working so well within the song’s arrangement.”ġ9: Stand Back (from ‘The Wild Heart’, 1983) “Sheryl challenged me to explore different areas of my voice,” Nicks has said.
With a little help from Sheryl Crow – who was a longstanding Nicks fan – the 2001 version of Sorcerer emerges as one of the best Stevie Nicks songs, with a soulful vocal performance from its creator. She finally released Sorcerer herself on her sixth album, Trouble In Shangri-La. Nicks then gave it to Marilyn Martin, who recorded it for the Streets Of Fire soundtrack (with Nicks on backing vocals).
Sorcerer was also considered, but again rejected, for Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 album, Tusk, and the 1983 solo Nicks album, The Wild Heart. The song was recorded as a demo, and performed live by the duo, but not included on their sole album, Buckingham Nicks. Sorcerer dates right back to the early 70s and Stevie Nicks’ years working in a duo with Lindsey Buckingham, before the pair joined the most famous of Fleetwood Mac’s line-ups. 20: Sorcerer (with (from ‘Trouble In Shangri-La’, 2001)
