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

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.

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.

Stevie Nicks a perfect depiction.

It's purely a personal bias of mine that I enjoy autobiographies more than biographies... especially unauthorized ones. Still, the author does a solid job of providing what I suspect is a fairly accurate picture of Nicks' life. I can't help but wish I had a little deeper insight into many aspects glossed over in this book though, that only the subject herself could have provided.

Pretty Solid If Not A Little Superficial

If you love Stevie Nicks then you will LOVE this audio book. The narrator was excellent and in my opinion, very captivating.

Awesome
