Lady (Stevie Nicks song)

"Lady" is a song written and originally performed by Stevie Nicks. It was first released in 1973 on the Buckingham Nicks album, a collaboration between Nicks and her then-boyfriend and musical partner, Lindsey Buckingham, before they joined Fleetwood Mac. This album was commercially unsuccessful and is now considered a rare and sought-after collector's item.

The song "Lady" showcases Nicks's early songwriting style and vocal delivery. It's characterized by a folk-rock sound with a melancholic and romantic lyrical theme. The lyrics are evocative and poetic, fitting the themes Nicks frequently explored in her later work. The song speaks to a female figure ("Lady") with an ethereal and somewhat mysterious quality.

While the Buckingham Nicks album never achieved widespread popularity, "Lady" has gained attention over the years through bootlegs and later appearances on compilations after Nicks's success with Fleetwood Mac. It provides a glimpse into the artistic roots and development of one of rock music's most iconic female artists. Its inclusion in any compilation or release is usually noted for its historical significance within the context of Nicks's career.
