The artist Justin Vernon, of the band Bon Iver, uses a brief sample of “Wild Heart” (a track from “The Wild Heart”) on the group’s new album, “22, A Million.” Nicks’s voice is sped up, pitch-altered, and barely discernible as human-just a high, grousing “wah-wah,” deployed intermittently.
Toward the end you can read this (but read the whole piece, too): There was an excellent article about Nicks in the Novemissue of the New Yorker: “ What the heart says: the resurgent appeal of Stevie Nicks“, by Amanda Petrusich. Steve Nicks and Fleetwood Mac were national treasures, far, far above the autotuned pap that passes for rock music today. The video has been viewed over a million times on YouTube. The backing music was written by Lindsey Buckingham found in a demo which can also be found on YouTube. The video ends with a version of McVie’s “Wish You Were Here”. It starts with Nicks singing a rendition of Love In Store, a song by Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie. The famous video was recorded during a Rolling Stone photo shoot in 1981. UPDATE: As Wikipedia notes, this is actually the first time the song was performed, and the other singer is Nicks’s soon-to-be sister in law, Lori Perry-Nicks.
