Following the reissue of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks’ 1973 album,Buckingham Nicksrecently, Nicks shared some insight into her wonderful concepts while taping the LP more than 5 years back.
Requiring to Instagram on Monday night, Nicks published pictures of the penned letter along with the caption, “I wished to share this letter I composed to my household while Lindsey and I were making Buckingham Nicks. My mama waited and it’s remained in a drawer for over 50 years.”
Dealt with to her mom, dad, and bro Chris, Nicks composes to them from the “well-known” Sound City Recording Studio in Los Angeles. “I am getting extremely sick of relaxing listening to 12 hours of music each day,” she starts. “I understand it will settle in the end, and when I am being in my little however elegant Beverly Hills home neglecting my little however stylish swimming pool that is absolutely remote, where I can sun in the naked and tan my whole fat body while awaiting my cosmetic surgery leg lift– it will all deserve it.”
After ensuring whatever is “peach-y,” she playfully teases that she’s sure “daddy is currently magnificently tan and lythe– making those stunning blue grey eyes much more shimmering than they normally are,” including, “sickening that he looks much better than I do at 47(?) and I’m just 25. (Give me a break, Dad!).” Nicks segues to her approaching 25th birthday, stating that the household “needs to reserve the whole month of May to commemorate the reality that I am now 1 quarter of a century old,” calling it a “landmark” that necessitates a “gala event.”
After leaving the celebration preparation to her moms and dads and sibling, she quips, “presents will be accepted at any time after the very first of May– no C.O.D’s please.”

Bringing it back to the music, Nicks informs them, “I definitely do miss you all, and dream you might be here to hear a few of this things.” Resolving her dad and Chris, she keeps in mind, that the “rock-and-roll tune” they both liked– “(‘Baby Baby, do not treat me so bad’) with the elegant guitar work”– is “practically completed” and states Buckingham “might decrease in history as one of ‘greats’ in guitar playing.”
After anticipating her and Buckingham’s future achievement, Nicks concludes “It truly is rather incredible,” before informing her household “a lot love to you all– and hold excellent ideas about this thing.”
While the preliminary release ofBuckingham Nickswasn’t a business success, it would ultimately result in Mick Fleetwood asking the couple to join atrioventricular bundle. Coincidentally, the reissue showed up after Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled 1975 album turned 50 in July.
