SUMMER ALBUM ROUNDUP : In Brief

** 1/2 Stevie Nicks, “Street Angel,” Modern/Atlantic. Fleetwood Mac’s New Age songstress inhabits a world without rap, Nirvana or even, apparently, a radio. But the considerable influence she has had on others--Tori Amos springs to mind--can be heard on such tuneful, archetypal Nicks songs as “Blue Denim.” The utterly soulless version of “Just Like a Woman” is none the less regrettable for the guitar and harmonica playing on it of its creator, Bob Dylan.

New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor) to four (excellent).
