Stevie Nicks Shares 1973 Sound City Letter as ‘Buckingham Nicks’ Returns

The unearthed note offers an intimate pre-fame snapshot that underscores the duo’s formative partnership.

Overview

  • Nicks posted the handwritten letter to Instagram on September 22, saying her mother preserved it in a drawer for over 50 years.
  • Written from Sound City in Los Angeles, the note describes listening to 12 hours of music a day and expresses confidence the work would pay off.
  • She praises Lindsey Buckingham’s playing, telling her family he “may go down in history as one of the ‘greats’ in guitar playing.”
  • The letter includes playful lines about a future Beverly Hills home, a joking “plastic surgery leg lift,” and plans to celebrate her 25th birthday for an entire month.
  • The post follows the September 19 reissue of the long out-of-print 1973 album, whose original release later led Mick Fleetwood to recruit the pair into Fleetwood Mac.
