Trouble In Shangri-La

Amazon.com
Rock enchantress Stevie Nicks strips off the shawls, scarves, and most of the rest of her trademark witchy esoterica for her first album since 1994's rather precious Street Angel. Seemingly more comfortable in her skin, Nicks also settles more comfortably into her croaky, lived-in voice, and is a stronger presence for it. While Trouble in Shangri-La was produced in part by Sheryl Crow, Nicks also tapped the talents of John Shanks (Melissa Etheridge) and Sarah McLachlan producer Pierre Marchand (McLachlan adds her haunting pipes to "Love Is"). Also on hand are Dixie Chick Natalie Maines (on the rockabilly-like "Too Far from Texas"), and the ubiquitous Macy Gray growls on "Bombay Sapphire," a blistering, hard-charging track that recalls the best moments of Fleetwood Mac. Other standouts on the album are the unflinching, autobiographical "Fall from Grace," recorded at punk rock speed, and the winsome "Everyday," with its elegant, soulful lyrics. --Jaan Uhelszki

Pure Shangri La.......2007-05-22

God bless this crazy witchy woman - I have loved every single thing this woman has ever done and I'm not alone. Along with legions of fans, Courtney Love, Billy Corgan, Natalie Maines, Sheryl Crow have all talked about her influence and in most cases recorded versions of her songs. Trouble In Shangri-La was her "comeback" album if you will, her first since 1994's ill fated Street Angel, which though it had all the mystique of Stevie was lacking some of the raw passion we have come to expect from Stevie. Well, that wasn't the case with this album which included Crow singing on "Sorcerer", Maines singing on one of my favs - the country twinged "Too Far From Texas", plus beautiful and poignant lyrics of the first single "Everyday." This is one album I can listen to (and did when it came out) over and over and over....

AMAZING CD !!!.......2007-05-18

I LOVE Stevie and Fleetwood, but out of all the compilations to date, this one is by far the greatest from Stevie. The mix on 'Love Is' with Sarah McLachlan is outstanding, as is 'Bombay Sapphire' and all the rest, a well rounded album worth a full listening!

This album really stinks.......2006-11-24

On Trouble in Shangri-La, Stevie Nicks' voice sounds like that of a post-menopausal smoker who garggles daily with razor blades. It seems she needs to come up with some incantations to restore her decaying body or else just give it up. If you like this album you will like the lastest by Stephen Hawking...

The best album Stevie has ever made..........2006-11-21

Where do I begin? This album has been like my best friend at times. It has its flaws, but the flaws are easily forgotten because its real, and its everything you would expect from a Stevie Nicks album.

After the precious and inconsistent 'Street Angel' was a commercial and critical disapointment, Stevie's star seemed like it is fading. But after the succesful 1997 Rumours line-up reunion, The Dance, Stevie's star began to rise again. Releasing 'Trouble in Shangri-La' confirmed Stevie's place in Pop and Rock history, proving that a woman in her 50's can still make a better record than most modern artists.

This album could not be any better, and hopefully this is not the last we will hear of Ms. Nicks, because, like fine-wine, she only gets better with age.

Key tracks: Fall From Grace, Trouble in Shangri-La, Sorcerer, Planets of the Universe, I Miss You.

one of her best.......2006-11-14

I read a review written by someone who was rating Stevie Nick's "The other side of the mirror" and at that time the person wrote that she would never produce another album that was as good or as popular as "Bella Donna". That had to be before she produced "Trouble in Shangri-La". I can't speak for record sales but I think that artistically this has to be one of her best albums. Every song on this album is great and as good as Bella Donna was, This has to rate as one of her most fantastic albums. I actually like the "Wild Heart" better than "Bella Donna", but if you are a true fan of Stevie Nick's this album should amaze you. Go out and buy it now.
