Halestorm have released a highlight from singer Lzzy Hale and guitarist Joe Hottinger’s appearance on Apple Music Radio’s Travis Mills Show earlier this year.
“In honour of the legendary Stevie Nicks’ birthday today, we’ve released our live cover of Gold Dust Woman to YouTube from our Apple Music radio session!” say the band. “We absolutely love this one.”
Halestorm appeared on Mills’ show last month to promote their sixth album Everest, and also performed Like A Woman Can (from the album) and Amen (from 2015’s Into the Wild Life).
Gold Dust Woman originally appeared on Fleetwood Mac’s multi-million-selling 1977 album Rumours, and also appeared on the B-side of Don’t Stop in the UK, and You Make Loving Fun in the US.
Lzzy Hale has frequently praised Stevie Nicks in interviews and admits that Nicks’ 1981 solo album Bella Donna is an inspiration for her own solo plans.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do or how I’m going to do it – but I’m not saying no,” Hale told Metal Hammer in 2016. “The band know the kind of songs I write without them – I have a lot of songs that we’ll never do as Halestorm. I think about Stevie Nicks’ Bella Donna record, and you can hear where her influence is in Fleetwood Mac, but it was neat to see that corner of her world as a whole.”
UK fans keen for more of Halestorm’s stripped-back acoustic side are advised that Hale and Hottinger are playing a series of Unplugged shows after their appearance at next month’s Download Festival. The band them play some North American festival dates before embarking on a support tour with Babymetal.
