Stevie Nicks’ Guitarist Reacts To Her Love Of 'Daisy Jones & the Six,' Speaks About She And His "Musical Heart"

What if I told you that classic rock superstars of the 1970s like Stevie Nicks, Phil Collins and James Taylor played with the same band? No, I’m not referring to some sort of supergroup, I’m talking about what has now become known as The Immediate Family, a crew of session musicians who recorded with just about every relevant rock musician of the era. The new documentary Immediate Family chronicles their time running amok in the industry and helping to write some of the world’s biggest singles of all time while, for the most part, flying under the radar. The documentary touches on the time they spent recording with Nicks in particular, and it’s no surprise that its members reflect on the past with the same nostalgic romanticization that the singer/songwriter did when she was watching Daisy Jones & the Six.

Recently, Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac fame gushed about Daisy Jones & the Six, the Amazon Original show that uses Nicks’ career as inspiration for the titular character. Producer Reese Witherspoon, star Riley Keough and more were over the moon to hear that Nicks not only loved the show, but became emotional, feeling like a “ghost watching my own story.” When I brought this up to Immediate Family guitarist Waddy Wachtel, he reflected on his own experience with musician Willie Nile, calling both stories an example of their collective “musical heart”
