Jason worked a lot with Nicks.
“You don't know how fun that was,” he said after Nicks agreed with him behind the scenes of their duet, shared on the Philly Specials' official Instagram page.
Nicks then advised her to “sing what you're singing well” so that she could sing “more harmony than you.” Jason held his own as Nicks added his own layer of words.
“I never thought in a million years I'd be on a song with Stevie Nicks, so this is amazing,” he said in the clip.
Nicks then called the cover “Jason's Landslide,” a reference to the 1975 certified gold song he wrote and performed for Fleetwood Mac. Jason politely replied, “No way,” but Nicks insisted, “Yes, of course.”

“The legendary Stevie Nicks came and did a duet with me, which in itself is crazy to be on a song with Stevie Nicks.

Jason also described Nicks as “one of the nicest people” he's ever met and “a great personality.”
