Stevie Nicks is a legend of rock, but her energy and magnetism sparked new interest in this icon. At 68, she's one of the most glamorous creatures rock has known, and the rare woman who's a real rock ‘n' roller.Gold Dust Woman gives "the gold standard of rock biographers" (The Boston Globe) his ideal topic: Nicks' work and life are equally sexy and interesting, and Davis delves deeply into each, unearthing fresh details from new, intimate interviews and interpreting them to present a rich new portrait of the star. Just as Nicks (and Lindsay Buckingham) gave Fleetwood Mac the "shot of adrenaline" they needed to become real rock stars—according to Christine McVie—Gold Dust Woman is vibrant with stories and with a life lived large and hard:—How Nicks and Buckingham were asked to join Fleetwood Mac and how they turned the band into stars—The affairs that informed Nicks' greatest songs—Her relationships with the Eagles' Don Henley and Joe Walsh, and with Fleetwood himself—Why Nicks married her best friend's widower—Her dependency on cocaine, drinking and pot, but how it was a decade-long addiction to Klonopin that almost killed her — Nicks’ successful solo career that has her still performing in venues like Madison Square Garden—The cult of Nicks and its extension to chart-toppers like Taylor Swift and the Dixie Chicks

Special Edition Gold Dust Woman: The Biography of Stevie Nicks with FREE MOBI EDITION!

There were some high hopes for this book, being that it was written by Stephen Davis, the co-writer's of Mick Fleetwood's first autobiography Fleetwood: My Life and Adventures in Fleetwood Mac . Davis actually sources the period between 1975 and 1979 with large passages from that book. He also sources the first-hand-account works by Ken Caillat, Danny Goldberg, Carol Ann Harris, and Jenny Fleetwood.But the factual errors in this new biography start on page one and build with reckless abandon throughout the book, making for a very distracting and unsatisfying read. At this stage in her long, industrious career, the legendary Stevie Nicks deserves a thoughtfully well-researched biography, handling the many important details of Stevie's life with care. Sadly, this one misses the mark in egregious fashion.Here some of the most glaring errors that appear in Davis's book:"Into this western land was born Stephanie Lynn Nicks on May 28, 1948..." (1)May 26, 1948. The biggest mistake is on page 1, her birthday!"The remixed 'Dreams' single, with Stevie's fragile voice, got played on AM radio now..." (112)It was the album version, not a remix."One of the last tracks completed [for Trouble in Shangri-La] was recorded in Paris. This was 'Love Is,' a languid ballad..." (269)"Love Is" was recorded by Sarah McLachlan's longtime French-Canadian producer Pierre Marchand, which is probably the closest connection to Paris! The song was supposed to be recorded in the U.S., but due to Marchard's green card problem, Stevie went to Vancouver, where it was eventually recorded."The hottest female group in America, Destiny's Child, sampled the "Stand Back" guitar riff for their single "Bootylicious," and invited Stevie to appear in the video, miming Waddy's now classic single-note guitar stutter." (271)"Bootylicious" samples the "Edge of Seventeen" guitar riff, not "Stand Back.""A son of a friend of Stevie's, one of her godsons named Cory, eighteen years old, had overdosed on drugs at a fraternity party." (303)It was Glen Parrish's son Glen, Jr., not Cory."The Pretenders opened the concert with an hour-long jukebox set. Stevie and her band, working in front of colorful animations and psychedelic patterns, launched into 'Outside the Rain' as fans ran back to their seats after beer runs and bathroom visits." (311)"Gold and Braid" opened Stevie's 24 Karat Gold Tour set, not "Outside the Rain.""When the unfamiliar 'Belle Fleur' segued into 'Dreams'"... (311)"Outside the Rain" segues into "Dreams," not "Belle Fleur."__________________
