Fleetwood mac perform rhiannon live at studio instrument rentals in 1976 I wrote this song and made [rhiannon] into what i thought was an old welsh witch It’s just about a very mystical woman that finds it very, very hard to be tied down in any kind of way. And the spell extended to rhiannon Rhiannon, in celtic religion, the welsh manifestation of the gaulish horse goddess epona and the irish goddess macha One of nicks’ most mystical songs, “rhiannon,” came to her right around the halloween of 1974
About two months prior to joining fleetwood mac, nicks stumbled across the enchanting name of her. Rhiannon is a song performed by fleetwood mac The song became so popular that it is now considered one of the top 500 of all songs ever It is an outstanding achievement that really showed the power of stevie nicks’ song writing capabilities. Stevie nicks and her mysterious, witchy appearance and voice certainly lend themselves to that interpretation As a result, “rhiannon” has become somewhat of the signature song for stevie nicks, and is one of the most memorable fleetwood mac songs.
It is speculated that rigantona was an old celtic goddess, perhaps associated with fertility and horses like the gaulish epona.
