About this listen
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

No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

As lead singer and songwriter for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis has lived life on the razor's edge. Much has been written about him, but until now we've only had his songs as clues to his experience from the inside. In Scar Tissue, Kiedis proves himself to be as compelling a memoirist as he is a lyricist, giving us a searingly honest account of the life from which his music has evolved.

From the moment their hugely influential 1978 debut landed, Van Halen set a high bar for the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, creating an entirely new style of post-'60s hard rock and becoming the quintessential rock band of the 1980s. But the high-flying success was fraught with difficulty, as Eddie struggled with alcohol and drug addiction while simultaneously battling David Lee Roth over the musical direction of the band, eventually taking the band in an entirely new direction with Sammy Hagar and scaling new heights, before that iteration of Van Halen disintegrated.

Iggy Pop's legendary career has been tumultuous, reaching great heights with mega-hits and then hitting rock-bottom lows in jail and mental institutions. Along the way, he's become a cult-rock hero, an inspiration for dozens of other famous rockers, and has had a pretty good time of it, too. But the image of Iggy Pop versus the man behind that image, James Newell Osterberg, Jr., is surprisingly contradictory.

Phil Spector, born in the Bronx in 1940, grew up an outsider despised by his peers. But he formed a band, and had a number-one hit with "To Know Him Is to Love Him". He quickly became the top producer of early rock and roll and the originator of such girl groups as the Ronettes. Hit followed hit, and for all of them he used a new recording style called the "wall of sound". But the reign of the boy-man who owned pop music was doomed, and Spector spiraled into paranoid isolation and peculiar behavior.

With more than 90 million records sold and eight Grammy Awards throughout its 40-year history, Earth, Wind & Fire has staked its claim as one of the most successful, influential, and beloved acts in music history. Now, for the first time, its dynamic lead singer, Philip Bailey, chronicles the group's meteoric rise to stardom and his own professional and spiritual journey. Never before had a musical act crossed multiple styles and genres with a quixotic blend of astrology, universalism, and Egyptology as Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) did when it exploded into the public's conscience during the 1970s.

New York Times best-selling author Donald Spoto has brilliantly explored the lives and careers of numerous Hollywood stars and entertainment icons. In Possessed, his subject is the inimitable Joan Crawford, one of the most electrifying divas of the Golden Age of American film. A more thorough, revealing, and sympathetic portrait of the often maligned movie star - most notably lambasted, perhaps, in the scandalous best seller, Mommie Dearest - Possessed is a fascinating study of the real Joan Crawford, a remarkable actress, businesswoman, mother, and lover.

Even more impressive, Johns was perhaps the only person on a given day in the studio who was entirely sober, and so he is one of the most reliable and clear-eyed insiders to tell these stories today.

Loved this book. It offered so many insights to the “stories behind the songs” that I loved in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and beyond. What a remarkable woman. Her perseverance through addiction, then horrendous medical treatment should be an inspiration for all.

Would you consider the audio edition of Gold Dust Woman to be better than the print version?
I enjoyed listening to the story in my car. I do not have time to read for enjoyment so I would not have had the opportunity to sit down to read it. I Love listening to Audiobooks.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Steve Nicks- I have more respect for her than I ever did. I've been a fan from the start.

Stand Back
This was a mildly entertaining story. It didn’t cover as much as I had hoped. However, anyone that loves Stevie should read this. Hopefully, she will release an autobiography that is more telling and true. This focused on a lot of information that was already out there. I don’t think the author had any contact with Stevie. The narrator was pretty bad. Listen to the sample before purchasing.

Great book!
If we can’t get a biography directly from Stevie this is the next best thing! Very detailed and the authors research to get all that detail are impressive. Unauthorized biographies a lot of the time just fall short but this one nails it!

Just Okay
Struggled to finish, kept trying to finish. Did not care for this Biography at all. I had hopes that it would be better, but it just never got there.

Loved it
I thought this was so interesting and I couldn’t stop listening. I really loved the narration. I had to listen to her music in between and afterwards.

Very Enjoyable.
So many twists, turns, heartbreaks and in great detail. Stevie Nicks what an inspiration. What a career.
