"Before Fleetwood Mac inadvertently admitted Ms. Stevie Nicks into their band as a required adjunct to her then partner Lindsey Buckingham joining, the already multi-platinum rock powerhouse had achieved nothing close to the inquisitive substance and analytical content that they would eventually typify in the subsequent years. Of course, Nicks turned out to be the undeniable genius of the troop, her elegantly tempestuous creativity anchoring the band in a solidly poetic tradition and forcing the group's trajectory in favor of a critical excavation of the human condition in search of the very base substance of human tragedy and romantic interface: it is these crucial years of Fleetwood Mac's history that Slow To Speak seeks to emphasize in this latest of their growing reissue series. Nicks' stark explications of the unspoken, opportunistic underbelly of human interaction -- delivered with the graceful yet stalwart delivery of her vocal range -- elevated her above and beyond the simplistic romantic naivety of standard pop-consciousness. Nicks grasped the necessity of embracing and fully understanding misery and wrongdoing as necessary elements of the social and philosophical balance of human passion, and she was more than willing to live in the dark shadow of villainy to fully comprehend the actual workings of humanities inequitably spaced web of virtue and vice. "And black moons in those eyes of hers, Made more sense to me." Unafraid to admit and hold close the murk in her own subject, Nicks cast aside the false moralizing and boyish positivism and embraced the absorbing wasteland of ethical ambiguity and doomed affection.
