Bella Donna was a triumph for Ms. Stevie Nicks. Proving that she could make it without Fleetwood Mac, this debut album became a multi-platinum success. And for good reason. Bella Donna is one of the most haunting and beautiful albums I have ever heard. It delivered 4 top 40 singles and earned Stevie her title, "the Queen of Rock N' Roll."

1. Bella Donna: Stevie's epic title track, this song is beloved by fans, and is one of Stevie's favorites. The arrangements and instrumentations are superb, as is Stevie's voice. 5/5

2. Kind of Woman: One of the slower songs on the album, it is very moody and dramatic. And gorgeous! The lyrics, music, everything is excellent. 5/5

3. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around: This was the big hit of the album, reaching the #2 slot on the charts. It is of course, Stevie's first duet with Tom Petty, and the song is truly a rocker. 5/5

4. Think About It: I really enjoy this song. It was actually written for Christine McVie who was debating on leaving Fleetwood Mac or not. The lyrics of this song have actually helped me out of some hard times. "Any time you think about leaving, think about what you know...." Definitely one of my favorite Stevie songs. 5/5

5. After the Glitter Fades: The most country sounding song on the album. I think Stevie could have definitely made it as a country artist if she wanted to. Again, a superb effort. 5/5

6. Edge of Seventeen: Ahhh, the true rocker of Stevie's career. Stevie gives a powerful performance which is amplified by the amazing guitar riff and sparse piano arrangement. I'm tempted to say this is the best song on the album. 5/5

7. How Still My Love: Like "Kind of Woman" this is one of the more dramatic songs on the album. "Still the same old story, what price glory." This is one of the album's many highlights. Great guitar work. 5/5

8. Leather and Lace: This is the one song on the album that I do not really like. It's a duet with Don Henley, and while it did well on the charts, I just can't get into this song. Although Stevie does give a very good vocal performance. 3/5

9. Outside the Rain: Possibly the best song on the album and definitely one of my favorites. The melody is just perfect and Stevie gives a rockin performance. "Look at my eyes, touch my face..." 5/5

10. The Highwayman: A nice, slow country-ish song. It has a more sparse musical arrangment, and is a very pretty song. 4/5

Bella Donna is most likely Ms. Nicks' best work. If you don't have it and love Stevie, you are crazy. This is a must have.
