Fleetwood Mac chanteuse Stevie Nicks takes flight once again. Slipping into those high heel stilettos and batwing sleeves, Nicks reclaims her rightful place as rock enchantress on Trouble in Shangri-La (her first solo album since her rather haphazard 1994 affair, Street Angel). Nicks has forgone most of her witchy-woman trappings and chosen to construct her own little Lilith Fair, recruiting Macy Gray, Sheryl Crowe, Sarah McLachlan and Dixie Chick Natalie Maines to back her up. Dipping into uncharacteristic, straightforward musings unlike anything she's done before, Nicks experiments with rockabilly at times and shashays around this disc with much aplomb, humor and self-awareness, finally growing into her throaty growl at age 53. A track like "Fall from Grace" doesn't pull any punches either, chronicling Nicks' own public humiliations without shame, proving that, even though there may be trouble, there's a happy place for everyone. Grade: B
