Stevie Nicks is releasing a new track on Friday (September 23), and it's a cover of one of the most iconic protest songs of all time.
Nicks shared via social media, "I am so excited to release my new song this Friday. It's called 'For What It's Worth' and it was written by Stephen Stills in 1966. It meant something to me then, and it means something to me now."
She continued, "I always wanted to interpret it through the eyes of a woman, and it seems like today, in the times that we live in, that it has a lot to say. I can't wait for you to hear it."
Nicks has included the Buffalo Springfield cover in recent setlists on her solo tour this summer.
Stevie Nicks is the first woman (and thankfully, not the last) woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: as a member of Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. As her solo debut, Bella Donna, turns 40 we looked back on her entire career to rank her 50 best songs (40 would have made sense, but it was too hard to cut it off there). We included solo and Fleetwood Mac songs, as well as her pre-Mac band Buckingham/Nicks and a few of her other collaborations.
Of course, we're ready to update this list when she releases new music! But for now, here's our favorite 50.
