 Bella Donna
I had two copies of this album on LP when I was in high school, then bought the CD, and then bought the tape.
That debut album by Stevie Nicks, "Bella Donna" would not only re-confirm her status as a major contributer to Fleetwood Mac, but it would also clearly demonstrate her ability to explore other musical directions.
Her lyrics are stunning although at times a bit hard to follow but that's just one of the things a person comes to expect from Stevie.

 Rolling Stone : Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna : Music Reviews
Even though Bella Donna is awash with impenetrable poeticizing, Nicks' musical approach has shifted from folk music toward rock & roll, and this hardier balance – along with the star's hot, growling vocals–helps carry the burden of her rather strange lyrics.
The album's superb arrangements (two cuts were recorded with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, while six others feature Russ Kunkel on drums and Waddy Wachtel on lead guitar) are in the mainstream Los Angeles rock tradition of the Eagles: punchy on the bottom, sleek on top.
In "Bella Donna," two people (or spirits, or God knows what) "fight...for the northern star." In "Edge of Seventeen," a "white winged dove" is repeatedly invoked as a metaphor for young love.

Review: Stevie Nicks' solo career was off to an impressive, if overdue, start with Bella Donna, which left no doubt that she could function quite well without the input of her colleagues in Fleetwood Mac (a band she would remain a member of until 1993).

This album, the first of her solo efforts is still today as fresh as it was in 1981.

As an album, if you like pop and rock music albums without any keyboards or electronic trickery and adore Fleetwood Mac from Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks’ arrival, then “Bella Donna” serves up hits and songs which could have made their way onto several records made by Fleetwood Mac.

Unlike her very dated albums of the mid-80s, Bella Donna’s late 70s rock roots have proven to be more enduring.
Nicks’ magical musings are still refreshing in 2006, and, although she never managed to produce a work better than this, Bella Donna confirmed that there was more to her career than Fleetwood Mac.
This is probably one of Stevie's most underated albums, my personal opinion is that it is the best solo album she has ever recorded.

 Bella Donna-1981
"I kept writing and there was no place for my songs on an album." Friend Paul Fishkin knew she could pull her own in the music industry, and set out get Stevie a solo record deal.
The album was entitled Bella Donna, also meaning "Beautiful Lady." Stevie didn't need to write new songs for the album; she culled the songs from ones she had written years earlier.
Bella Donna combined everything essential to an album in the early 1980s: ethereal vocals, breathtaking songs and an edge of rock 'n' roll.

Bella Donna is an eclectic, bold mix of music: rock, pop, and a little bit of country, all rolled into one.
Perhaps the most recognizable song on the album is Edge of Seventeen, the one that most Stevie fans regard as her best ever (lots of people obviously thought so, because "Edge of Seventeen" was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Female Rock Vocal Category).
I highly recommend this album to anyone who's a fan of Fleetwood Mac (if that's true, what are you waiting for??), or anyone who wants to be re-introduced to Stevie Nicks, the Queen of Rock & Roll.

 Stevie Nicks : The Wild Heart - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
As on Bella Donna, producer Jimmy Iovine took a simpler, more conventional pop/rock approach to the arrangements than Fleetwood Mac's inventive Lindsey Buckingham did on Nicks's songs, which meant the music was more straightforward than her typically elliptical lyrics.
Iovine did get a Mac-like sound on "Nightbird," in which Nicks repeated her invocation to "the white winged dove" from Bella Donna's "Edge of Seventeen," and on "Sable on Blond," a "Gypsy" soundalike.
Elsewhere, the songs were largely interchangeable with those on Bella Donna, even down to the obligatory duet with Tom Petty.

The real gems are "Outside the Rain" and "Bella Donna." She really puts forth a great vocal effort and she gets great backing with the roaring guitars.
It is no doubt that Courtney Love, Sheryl Crowe, and Tori Amos have said that this album was their greatest influence and rock n roll bible.
Clearly one of the most influential women of rock, she struts her mystical gothic stuff on this album.

If you paid even a modicum of attention during Fleetwood Mac's reunion tour last fall, it was clear that gypsy-garbed Stevie Nicks was still the star of the show, just like she was during the Seventies.
It was like going through the photo album that went along with all those records, that went along with my life.
Those songs are the photo album of my life, because each one of those songs really was about something pretty heavy, for me to write a song about them.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Bella Donna, Stevie Nicks, CD
Stevie's Bella Donna album is simply the best I love listening to it like all the time.
Stevie Nicks is sky-rocketed into her solo career with this first album - an impressive interpretation of her ability to draw her audience into her music through her very personal lyrics and hauntingly inescapable voice.
The album opens with one of my personal favorites, ''Bella Donna'', which, although never released as a single, is highly emotional and tells a story through its haunting lyrics.

The 1981 record featured two smash singles, "Edge of Seventeen" and the Tom Petty duet "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," that reaffirmed that the Arizona native was one of the biggest female stars of the era.
The surprising thing, given Nicks's fairly limited songwriting role in Fleetwood Mac, is that the entire album is start-to-finish solid, particularly the spectral ballad "After the Glitter Fades" and the striking title track.
Recorded with the help of Petty's Heartbreakers and members of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, and produced by Jimmy Iovine, BELLA DONNA has a more rock-oriented sound than Fleetwood Mac's wispy California soft pop, and Nicks sings in a tougher, less self-conscious voice, adding unexpected heft to her diaphanous image.
