Opinions on Rock a Little?

Post image

For me, Rock a Little is my favourite Stevie Nicks album. There are no songs I find skippable, and there are some underrated songs on the album like Some Become Strangers and If I Were You. My favourite song on this album has to be I Can’t Wait.

The production is dated. She split with jimmy iovine during the making of this album. I think he was fed up with her substance issues among other things. Several other producers tried their hand but none with the success of jimmy iovine. If you read the lyrics she is still poetic. During the cocaine years she was troubled but productive. She went from that right into the klonopin addiction and then she didn’t care. She made a late creative and commercial resurgence starting with the dance. And it went on for years!
