Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac Coming To Rock Band
As the track library on the Rock Band Network continues to grow, Harmonix can annonce that a six-track selection of songs with a Stevie Nicks twist will hit the store this week. The pack features a selection of music from the super-group Fleetwood Mac during her time there, as well as some solo work from Nicks herself. Featuring tracks such as “Dreams” and “Gold Dust Woman”, the songs are a great introduction to this hugely influential artist. Rock Band now boasts a back catalogue of over 2600 tracks via disc and digital download, and the team are dedicated to supplying regular weekly track updates.
“Having sold more than 140 million albums and produced more than 40 Top 50 hits since her career began in the early 1970s, Stevie Nicks is American rock royalty. Rolling Stone has called Nicks “The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll,” she has eight GRAMMY® Awards as a solo artist and another for her work on 1977/1978 Album of the Year Rumours, and she is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Next week, we’re expanding the Rock Band catalog with the addition of a pack featuring two of her solo songs and four songs from Fleetwood Mac, the singer/songwriter’s popular classic rock band.
From her work with Fleetwood Mac, next week’s pack will include “Dreams” and “Gold Dust Woman” from the band’s most successful album, Rumours. The pack will also include “Landslide” and “Rhiannon” from the band’s 1975 self-titled album.
Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks Pack 01 will also feature two songs from Nicks’s solo career, including “Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove)” from her 1981 album Bella Donna and “Stand Back” from her platinum 1983 album The Wild Heart.”
These tracks will be available for Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation 3 on April 12th, although in Europe they will come to PlayStation 3 on April 13th. They will cost £0.99 (160 Microsoft Points / 200 Wii Points) per song. The tracks can also be purchased as “Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks Pack 01”, priced at £4.99 (800 Microsoft Points / 1000 Wii Points). The Pro Guitar and Pro Bass upgrades for “Dreams” and “Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove)” will cost an additional £0.59 (80 Microsoft Points/100 Wii Points).

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
