adept in his literary analysis.
- The New York Times Book Review Stevie Nicks is a legend of rock, but her energy and magnetism sparked new interest in this icon.
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 Lindsey Buckingham) gave Fleetwood Mac the shot of adrenaline they needed to become real rock stars--according to Christine Mc Vie--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.
