Having sold more than 140 million albums and produced more than 40 Top 50 hits since her career began in the early 1970s, Stevie Nicks is American rock royalty. Rolling Stone has called Nicks “The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll,” she has eight GRAMMY® Awards as a solo artist and another for her work on 1977/1978 Album of the Year Rumours, and she is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Next week, we’re expanding the Rock Band catalog with the addition of a pack featuring two of her solo songs and four songs from Fleetwood Mac, the singer/songwriter’s popular classic rock band.
From her work with Fleetwood Mac, next week’s pack will include “Dreams” and “Gold Dust Woman” from the band’s most successful album, Rumours. The pack will also include “Landslide” and “Rhiannon” from the band’s 1975 self-titled album.
Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks Pack 01 will also feature two songs from Nicks’s solo career, including “Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove)” from her 1981 album Bella Donna and “Stand Back” from her platinum 1983 album The Wild Heart.
