The album, by Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, was released in 1973 to little fanfare despite the duo being signed to a major record label. However, it did open the doors for them to later join Fleetwood Mac, and change musical history.
After decades of being out of print, the seminal record was finally reissued on September 19th, and for the first time in history, Buckingham Nicks is also available to stream on services such as Spotify and Apple Music.
To celebrate the album, Nicks has delved into her private collection to share a letter to her parents as well as her brother, Christopher, that she wrote while making the record, which has "been in a drawer for over 50 years".
The letter began, "Well, here I am - once again at the 'famous' Sound City Recording Studio. I am getting very tired of sitting around listening to 12 hours of music per day. Oh well, I know it will pay off in the end, and when I am sitting in my small but luxurious Beverly Hills home overlooking my small but tasteful pool that is totally secluded, where I can sun in the nude and tan my entire fat body while waiting for my plastic surgery leg lift - it will all be worth it. Otherwise, everything here is just 'peach-y'."
She continued, "I hope that all of my little family is doing fine and not working too hard. I am sure that dad is already beautifully tan and lythe - making those gorgeous blue grey eyes even more sparkling than they usually are. How sickening that he looks better than I do at 47(?) and I'm only 25. (Give me a break, Dad!)."
Nicks then turned her attention to her landmark birthday and her plans to celebrate the occasion, writing, "Speaking of being almost 25 - I have decided that we should set aside the entire month of May to celebrate the fact that I am now 1 quarter of a century old. A new landmark like this should not simply be passed over as yet another birthday, but should include a gala celebration. I shall leave it to the three of you to plan it. By the way, presents will be accepted any time after the first of May - no C.O.D's please."
The singer emotionally added, "Moving right along - I just want to say that I certainly do miss you all, and wish you could be here to hear some of this stuff. By the way - Dad and Chris - that rock and roll tune that you both liked ('Baby Baby, don't treat me so bad') with the fancy guitar work is almost finished and Lindsey may go down in history as one of 'greats' in guitar playing. It really is quite amazing."
She concluded by lovingly writing, "Well, no more news as of yet - so much love to you all - and hold good thoughts about this thing."
