I just watched Stevie Nicks singing this song with Taylor Swift on the Grammy Awards so had to find a good version.So here is Fleetwood Mac back in 1976 on "The Midnight Special" with a fantastic version of Rhiannon (Stevie is unbelievable) the story of a Welsh witch. Nicks discovered Rhiannon through a novel called Triad, by Mary Leader. The novel is about a woman named Branwen, who is possessed by another woman named Rhiannon. Nicks bought the novel in an airport just before a long flight and thought the name was so pretty that she wanted to write something about a girl named Rhiannon. She wrote "Rhiannon" in 1974, three months before joining Fleetwood Mac, and has claimed it took 10 minutes to write..."lay back and groove".
