Stevie Nicks album, 24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault is Nicks’ first new album in three years and contains music originally written by Nicks between 1969 and 1987 along with one song each from 1994 and 1995.
The September 30 release will include CD, double-vinyl and download. A deluxe photobook CD comes a week later with a deluxe CD with two bonus tracks and a 48-page photo book. Currently, Amazon shows the deluxe version with all sixteen tracks available for download on September 30 although it isn’t clear if they have put the wrong date on the release.
Nicks said of the album “I used to make cassettes of my songs and hand them out. But to know that these songs have finally been recorded with the same love they were originally created is joyous for me. I picked 12 songs from about 40 demos made from ’69 – ’87 and one each from 94 and 95. These songs are all about love and heartbreak — how to pick up the pieces — how to keep moving… I’m really chronicling love from the very beginning. When you write a song and it doesn’t go on a record, it floats around in your life for years. I took myself back to the time when these songs were written… Sometimes I can’t remember what happened yesterday but I remember so well what happened through the whole period of time that I wrote these songs. You think about them and go over them and they live inside of you until they becomes part of your world. These songs are now 24 Karat Gold.”
“The only way this would have been possible was because of the amazing ‘Nashvillians’ as I named the brilliant musicians we worked with in Nashville. They were a great band — tantamount to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers… We were awestruck just watching them. We had two weeks to lay down the tracks… This was going to be a fast moving train… That is how we roll and that IS how we rolled!! And we did it.”
