Riassunto

Lyrical visionary, enduring style icon and one indispensable fifth of post-Peter Green megaband Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks is one of the most recognisable figures in rock 'n' roll history - very much Fleetwood Mac's 'Queen Bee', as Mick Fleetwood himself describes her. While she once made headlines with her hedonistic lifestyle, part of Nicks' irresistible appeal is her youthful vulnerability and mystical aura, making her an artist with whom fans have an unbreakable emotional connection. Crowned 'The Reigning Queen Of Rock And Roll' by Rolling Stone, and with gold and quadruple platinum solo albums under her beaded belt, Stevie Nicks has enjoyed the ultimate in rock 'n' roll success in her life as a recording artist - but this charmed life has come as a result of hard graft, self-belief and a devotion to creativity above all; hers has been a journey of intense highs and lows. This book, a celebration of the Stevie Nicks phenomenon, takes us on her journey from peripatetic mid-West childhood to her explosion onto the music scene as chiffon-swathed rock goddess, right up to present day. Including exclusive interviews with some of Stevie's associates and collaborators from over the years, author Zoe Howe explores the mystique while retaining the magic of this modern-day musical sorceress and wise woman of rock.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Put simply, Visions, Dreams and Rumours is an epic tale of an epic woman that has left me even more desperate to find tickets for Fleetwood Mac s UK tour next year --Gigslutz

"Howe documents it all the sex, the drugs and the mystification with the nonjudgmental vigilance of a devoted fan" "Washington Post"
"Though not a memoir, Howe s massive Nicks tome is an example of the legacy Lisa Robinson has created. Howe s Stevie Nicks biography is her latest book, but she s previously written about The Slits, Florence + The Machine and more." "The Riveter Magazine"" --The Washington Post

Witty asides and liberal adjectives add to the breathless, over-the-top feel --Record Collector
