Publisher's Summary

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

Interesting, detailed and compelling perspective on a lifetime in music

The book is probably longer than necessary due to the authors apparent desire for detail. I learned a lot about a band (FM) which I listened to in my late teens and early adulthood. I enjoyed the background on many of the songs and was previously unaware of the depth of bad feelings between Buckingham and Nicks.

I never would have read this book however in an audio version it passed the time during long hours driving.

Stevie Nicks

I enjoyed learning about the first-hand accounts of her life experiences, relationships and career. Next, I want to listen to all of her songs, especially her solo albums.

Stevie Nicks a perfect depiction.

I couldn't stop listening. I hung on every word. I loved Stevie before this book and now I love her more. She is my hero. I understand her lyrics and music so much more now. They mean so much more than they ever did.
She is so strong and talented.

very good

this is an easy to listen to story-telling of the life of Stevie Nicks, a female rock and roll legend. it seems to be an honest and well researched book that has many supporting sources to support their claims. the narrator does a good job throughout while providing different voices for each quoted characters. would recommend for fans of Stevie Nicks or fleetwood Mac.

Great book

Long but good account of an idol in music. I've long been a fan of FM & Stevie Nick's & was curious about her story. The narrator is good, clear & easy to listen to. I'm glad I listened to this audio version.
