"Whole Lotta Trouble" is a song by American singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks. The song was written by Nicks and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and produced by Rupert Hine. It was released on October 30, 1989, as the fourth and final single from Nicks' fourth studio album The Other Side of the Mirror (1989). Although it failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100, it peaked at No. 62 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 22 on the Irish Singles Chart. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female in 1990.[2]
The song developed from an unreleased song by Nicks called "I Call You Missing" recorded in 1984. This track was recorded again during the Street Angel recording sessions, but it was never released.
Reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media reviewed "Whole Lotta Trouble" as "a dark-edged, basic rock song with an inspired vocal performance by the normally reserved Nicks."[3]
