Stevie Nicks announces new album 24 Karat Gold: Songs From The Vault

Stevie Nicks has announced the release of a new solo album, 24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault. 

The album will work as an alternative greatest hits collection, compilating all the rarest pieces and unreleased cuts from her back catalogue. All of the tracks that she has worked on over the years will be especially re-recorded or the new release, with Nicks working with Dave Stewart and Waddy Watchel on production duties. 

Nicks is hoping to release the album in October, with most of the songs already recorded in Nashville. "18 tracks in three weeks" for the album -- saying that it's the "fastest I have ever recorded," she said.

"We went onto YouTube and we found all the songs that, somehow, were taken from my house or picked up or loaned out or whatever ... and we went to Nashville (and recorded them)," Nicks told the Associated Press. "So they're like all starting from like 1969 maybe? I call them my 24 karat gold songs."
