Overview

• Posting on Instagram Monday, Nicks shared images of a handwritten letter she sent to her family during the Buckingham Nicks sessions, saying her mother kept it in a drawer for over 50 years.
• Written on Sound City Studios stationery, the note describes long days listening to recordings and expresses confidence that the effort would pay off.
• In the letter, Nicks tells her father and brother that the rock track they liked is nearly finished and writes that Buckingham “may go down in history as one of ‘greats’ in guitar playing.”
• She jokes about a future Beverly Hills home, tanning in seclusion, a “plastic surgery leg lift,” and designates May for a gala 25th birthday celebration, teasing her father Jess about looking better at 47.
• The album, first released in 1973, was reissued on Friday, Sept. 19 after decades out of print, and its original sessions later led Mick Fleetwood to invite Nicks and Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac.
