STOP DRAGGING THAT SHAWL AROUND!PHOENIX'S FAVORITE MYSTICAL CHILD COMES BACK FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR TO GET REAL

On paper, songs about Greta Garbo and a homeless woman who doesn't want to leave the streets may seem like pure treacle, but these babies got some claws to em. Pop aficionados will appreciate "Dockland," which is really Looking Glass' "Brandy" recounted from the girl on the western bay's point of view. And what would a Stevie Nicks album be without at least one weather report? The woman who once reminded us that "thunder only happens when it's raining" is now imploring us to "Listen to the Rain." Coupled with this sound advice are reassuring affirmations for the listeners, like "you're consistent and that's good." Well, Street Angel is consistent and good. And about as cosmic as the Shangri-Las. Stevie may be a bad witch, but she's not an evil one. And that's good.
