Christina Delaine’s performance often feels like rock singer Stevie Nicks herself is telling her story. Delaine conjures up visions of Stevie with her melodious voice, which can turn sharp as a knife when the story makes it necessary. And what a story it is: Everyone wanted her, but no one wanted to love her. This audiobook relies heavily on interviews with friends and associates, and interviews Stevie gave. It illuminates the conflicts within one of America's greatest rock bands and how its members simultaneously hate and love one another. Nicks's music comes from the pain caused by bandmate and lover Lindsey Buckingham, who, ironically, is the one man whose arrangements make her music sound perfect. The meanings of Stevie's songs are explained, exposing her tortured heart and soul. M.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
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
