Reprise
It has been ten years since Stevie Nicks' last original studio release. The first single from In Your Dreams, "Secret Love" has been waiting a lot longer than that to be recorded. "It was 1976 and Fleetwood Mac was opening for Peter Frampton at the time," says Nicks in the album's pre-release publicity. "It was written about a forbidden relationship (not Peter and I) -- I always knew that one day I was going to record the song." Nicks is currently touring with Rod Stewart.
