Throughout Stevie Nicks recent run of summer shows she’s been performing a stunning rendition of “For What It’s Worth” originally by Buffalo Springfield. Today she released a studio version of the cover which is her first new material since 2020. The track was recorded earlier this year in Los Angeles with producer Greg Kurstin, longtime guitarist and session legend Waddy Wachtel, and backing vocalist Sharon Celani.
“I am so excited to release my new song this Friday,” Nicks said in a hand written statement she posted on Instagram. “It’s called ‘For What It’s Worth’ and it was written by Stephen Stills in 1966. It meant something to me then, and it means something to me now. I always wanted to interpret it thru the eyes of a woman — and it seems like today, in the times that we live in — that it has a lot to say… I can’t wait for you to hear it.”
