In Nicks of time, Isaak pulls double bill into 2007
By Ricardo Baca
Denver Post Pop Music Critic
Stevie Nicks pulled out a few familiar moves when she played Red Rocks on
Monday. All photos by Laurie Scavo/Special to The Denver Post.
Stevie Nicks - the rock star of few facial expressions - is nowhere near
her prime.
The singer-songwriter who gained fame via Fleetwood Mac and furthered her
career through a successful solo outing can't help being a little bit of
an anachronism.
She's a legend from another decade, and while some of her music stands the
test of time, most of it falls into the category of so-1980s. It doesn't
help that her witchy wardrobe, including the free-flowing, black get-up
she wore Monday night at Red Rocks, looks like something out of an episode
of "Electric Company" or "Charmed."
While Nicks has refused to conform to many modern trends, don't ever let
her rabid fans hear you call her anything but a goddess. Her fan base is
one of those notorious groups - not all that unlike Jimmy Buffet's
"Parrotheads" - known for their unconditional love. And as they applauded
and worshiped their way through Nicks' co-headlining set Monday night,
they failed to recognize the singer's main fault, which is her inability
to move into the contemporary realm.
Nicks was one of the great American songwriters, but then she failed to
evolve. Songs like "Landslide" and "Stand Back" remain powerful tracks.
But as she sang "Stand Back" at the beginning of her set Monday night, the
song's aged sentiment was obvious. About an hour into her set, "Landslide"
encouraged an impressive singalong, but it was the only song of the night
that resonated with any honesty in
2007..
