Not surprisingly, she played it safe: The Wild Heart contained nothing that would disturb fans of her previous work and much that echoed it. She was the most successful American female pop singer of the time. So Much To Say So Much To Say So Much To.Stevie Nicks was following both her debut solo album, Bella Donna (1981), which had topped the charts, sold over a million copies (now over four million), and spawned four Top 40 hits, and Fleetwood Mac's Mirage (1982), which had topped the charts, sold over a million copies (now over two million), and spawned three Top 40 hits (including her 'Gypsy'), when she released her second solo album, The Wild Heart.I didn't play this one as much as Bella Donna, but it was still good. What really makes the album worthwhile is the opening title track, where Nicks lays out her 'Wild Heart'. I've never seen this one show up on best of comps for either performer which is too bad, its a good song.

One of my favorites off this album has been buried by time, that's the Tom Petty / Nicks sequel duet 'I Will Run To You'. The other hit song, 'If Anyone Falls', was cushioned by even more synths as it more or less wafts on a keyboard line. You know, though I like the tune 'Stand Back' is not one of my favorites of hers - I thought it was too dance oriented and the video reeked of Fame dancer cheese. Yet in a sign of things to come, Nicks became more interested in synthesizers which paved the way to her signature solo hit, 'Stand Back'. While not as consistent as Bella Donna, cuts like the rollicking 'Enchanted' and the Fleetwood Mac-ish 'Nightbird' were equal in quality. The sequel to the debut, Nicks lined up Iovine to Produce again. It's like a time lapse photo of watching a wiccan sit on the lawn.

Looking at it, I can't defend it too much.

I once read a book that said this was one of the worst album covers ever.
