Music Review: THINGS DON'T NECESSARILY GO BETTER WITH COKE
Rating: 2 Stars

Stevie Nicks had the misfortune of starting her solo career in the early 1980's. That benighted decade was many things but it seems it represents some sort of musical twilight zone that today's crowd choose either to forget or make fun of. Fleetwood Mac broke the bank and all sorts of industry records with FLEETWOOD MAC and RUMOURS around the mid-1970's just as Nicks and her one time lover Lindsay Buckingham joined the band. Nicks contribution to that success was substantial; but it has also been overstated. It has to be pointed out again and again it seems that while Nicks compositions were popular it was Christie McVie's songs which carried the day for those albums-at least from the women's side of things. Nonetheless, erotic images of Nicks dancing across the concert stage in diaphanous robe-like dresses while singing of a Welch witch caught the imagination of enough fans and record executives that Nicks got her own record contract.

While I personally prefer Christie McVie, that is not to say that there isn't anything to like about Nicks. "Landside" is a song of such exceptional quality that I would wager that thousands of either gender wishes they had written it. "Gold Dust Woman" is one of the best songs written in the 1970's. "Sara" and "Storms" are likewise excellent compositions from the TUSK album. And last but not least I've always had a soft spot in my heart for "Fireflies" from the 1980 FLEETWOOD MAC LIVE album.

On the other hand, I have never liked "Rhiannon"-a song many consider to be Nick's signature song. There is something about that thudding rhythm section that turns me off. Likewise "Dreams"-another signature song-I consider to be in reality just a slowed down version of "Rhiannon" with the same thudding rhythm section. I am in a distinct minority in these particular judgments and so you can safely dismiss them. But in her career with Fleetwood Mac, we can see all the themes we will find in her solo records: a preoccupation with the fantastic and personal introspection.

It is hard to fault Ms Nicks for these things as many rockers are obsessed with the fantastic and many others write about nothing if not themselves. In Stevie Nicks' case this all works out in sword and sorcery, castles, bodice-ripping yarns, love and getting dumped on in one way or another. Even though this box set contains only three discs, this gets to be a bit much by the end of disc two. The box set is arranged chronologically so as the 1980's passes along Nicks moves from her rock moorings to the more frenzied machine manufactured sounds that so many have come to despise about the 80's. By Nicks own admission, a good deal of her music at this point was fueled by the drugs she was shoveling up her nose-which was fine as long as you were doing the same.

The same thermonuclear devise that went of in Seattle in the early 1990's and wiped hundreds of "hair" bands of the map also drove a host of other music into irrelevance as well. Nicks continued to make records; but she came to matter less and less.

One can't listen to this box set without the feeling that here was a career gone wrong... The best material tends to be toward the beginning-early in her solo records. But as a retrospective, ENCHANTED is excellent and balanced although the notes are not as informative as I would like. Pages of the inner booklet are filled with pictures not identified by time or place. There are a few unreleased tracks and b-sides included in this set; but none of Nicks' Fleetwood Mac material is presented here.

Of genuine value here is the third disc of entirely unreleased material. I enjoyed nearly every cut on this part of the box set as they seemed so out of left field. While most buyers probably would confine their interest to the first two discs, there is considerably more charm and warmth in this grab bag of loose ends. But is this one disc worth the price of the entire box set? Probably not.

Ms. Nicks recording career did not end with this box set. I can't say I like what has been made available so far; but Nicks has a following as strong as any and there are plenty of miles left for her voice to ride. Perhaps she'll write another song like "Landslide" that will change the perspective on her entire career. Maybe.
