It's been awhile since I thought of singer Stevie Nicks. She has one of the most unique voices in music and sang some great classics during her career.
Anyway, I was watching a televised Buddy Holly concert special here in the US where some famous (and not so famous) singers paid tribute to the rock pioneer. And to my surprise, Stevie Nicks was one of the guests and sang 2 songs. I'm not sure why I was so surprised to see her but I guess I've been out of the loop with some singers.
I didn't care for her version of "Not Fade Away" but I though she knocked "It's So Easy" right out of the park. She sang it similarly to Linda Ronstadt but that voice of hers worked beautifully on the song.
I don't think Stevie Nick's version has been heard in the UK since she never recorded the song. And I don't think the concert special has aired in the UK as of yet. Actress Zooey Deschanel was originally supposed to sing "It's So Easy" but due to her TV commitment she couldn't be there. So they asked Stevie Nicks if she could sing it instead.
