Stevie and Sheryl in Central Park
As you probably know, Stevie performed at the Sheryl Crow and Friends benefit concert on September 14th. The concert benefited Pediatric AIDS and included Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Sarah McLachlan, Chrissie Hynde, the Dixie Chicks and others. It was broadcast live on TV, radio and the Internet. Stevie sang Gold Dust Woman with Sheryl and her band backing her.
The New York Post said "...it was Nicks, Crow's second guest, who rallied the fans"
Stevie was in fine form, and received a great welcome from the crowd.
The Musician's Planet had the following to say about the progress of the album in an article with Sheryl Crow:
Sheryl's already pleased with some of the results. "Lindsey Buckingham [also of Fleetwood Mac and solo fame] came in for one track," she reports. "He's amazing; pretty close to perfect. Any guitar he picks up, you can identify his playing immediately." Sheryl hopes to be able to produce the entire record before the year's end, but she regretfully acknowledges that she may have to share the producer spot if the sessions pick up again after May, as she's already committed to being out on the road.

Grammys
Sheryl Crow was interviewed on the red carpet going into the Grammy's and had the following to say about Stevie:
(Interviewer) Sheryl, you've also been doing some producing, I know you did Stevie Nicks. What's it like, what does it mean to take on the role of a producer? Especially for an artist like Stevie?
(Sheryl) "Well Stevie, Stevie is kind of an exception to the role because she has a 30 year career behind her....obviously. And the nice thing about, one of - there's so many nice things about Stevie....but Stevie is a great songwriter and she approaches things musically..... but the really exceptional thing about her is when she shows up, she's there from beginning to end, uh, ready to work, or hang or whatever. And it's just really, as producer, it's really really nice."

Practical Magic
Practical Magic is the new Sandra Bullock movie. the soundtrack is available in stores now. Stevie has two songs on the soundtrack, Crystal and If You Ever Did Believe. Crystal is a Fleetwood Mac song that was re-recorded for the soundtrack with Stevie singing lead vocals. If You Ever Did Believe originally appeared on the 1981 Louise Goffin self-titled album. Both songs were written by Stevie Nicks and were produced for this soundtrack by Sheryl Crow. There is a video and a single for If You Ever Did Believe and both are getting good airtime on VH1 and the radio. Crystal is played during the movie twice (instrumental early and vocals later), and If You Ever Did Believe is played during the credits at the end.
STEVIE NICKS "If You Ever Did Believe"
(Warner Bros.) With a wink and a nod, this emblem of throaty-voiced, witchy-garbed moon-goddessness has written a new single for the Practical Magic soundtrack. From the opening acoustic guitar picking, Nicks' "Baby don't leave me" song has the comfort of vintage Fleetwood Mac, with top notch vocal and production assists from kindred spirit Sheryl Crow. When Nicks sings, "I don't think I can handle this at all," she casts a spell of womanly yearning. A- -Beth Johnson (From Entertainment Weekly on October 23, 1998)
Thanx to the Nicksfix for some of these news stories.
