Nicks — whose "In Your Dreams," the follow-up to 2001's "Trouble in Shangri-La," comes out Tuesday — says that she was ready to start work on a solo set in 2005 after touring with Fleetwood Mac.
"I was definitely ready to do a record," Nicks recalls, "but the powers that be, the people that surrounded me, pretty much said, 'Don't bother. It's not a good time. The music business is in a terrible place. There's no money, and the Internet piracy is taking over.'
"I didn't know what to say, because I'm not a computer person and I don't have a computer and I don't Facebook or whatever. So I just said, 'OK.' If I hadn't been so exhausted from 135 shows I might have fought back on that a little, but I just didn't."
