The result is some of the best material she's recorded since her early solo albums with Jimmy Iovine. The result was a collection of predictable and uninspired pop songs that couldn't be saved even with a guest vocal from then it-girl Macy Gray.įor In Your Dreams, Nicks teamed up with Eurythmics member Dave Stewart and super producer and songwriter Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill Michael Jackson's Bad). According to Nicks, Petty told her to write her songs herself. Nicks had met her old friend Tom Petty for dinner at the Copper Star Club near US Airways Center and asked him to write some songs for her. The latter album was one of the first times Nicks didn't have a star songwriter or producer working with her - not that she didn't try. First, In Your Dreams is way, way better than Trouble in Shangri-La.
