( Rolling Stone ) -- Stevie Nicks built her legend on the California-Babylon chronicles she perfected in the Seventies with Fleetwood Mac , and in the Eighties on underrated solo gems like `` The Other Side of the Mirror . '' But she still has that eternal edge-of-17 tremor in her voice . The gypsy queen is in royal form on `` In Your Dreams '' -- it 's not just her first album in 10 years , it 's her finest collection of songs since the Eighties . `` In Your Dreams '' has the high-gloss L.A. production of her collaborators , Glen Ballard and Eurythmics ' Dave Stewart . But the material is Nicks in platform-soled hyper-romantic mode , with her voice in surprisingly supple shape . `` Secret Love '' is an oldie she wrote in 1976 -- who knew she was still keeping secrets from her `` Rumours '' days ? It seems to be about one of her rock-star beaus , although she coyly maintains she ca n't remember which one . Yet it is n't even one of the better tracks on `` In Your Dreams . '' The over-the-top seduction ballad `` Italian Summer '' could be her answer to the Stones ' `` Wild Horses . '' It climaxes in a very Stevie credo : `` Love was everywhere/You just had to fall . '' Nicks finds storytelling inspiration everywhere , from the Twilight series ( `` Moonlight [ A Vampire 's Dream ] '' ) to Jean Rhys ( `` Wide Sargasso Sea '' ) . But the real showstopper here is the Edgar Allan Poe tribute `` Annabel Lee , '' a fan fave that 's been kicking around on bootlegs since the Nineties . It 's a six-minute meditation on love and death with echoes of the Fleetwood Mac classic `` Dreams . '' Poe 's key line -- `` The moon never beams without bringing me dreams '' -- might have been written in 1849 , but it was clearly meant for Stevie Nicks to sing . Rolling Stone rating : 3 1/2 stars . See full article at Rolling Stone . Copyright © 2010 Rolling Stone .
