Gold Dust Woman Stephen Davis

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: &#9679How Nicks and Buckingham were asked to join Fleetwood Mac and how they turned the band into stars &#9679The affairs that informed Nicks' greatest songs &#9679Her relationships with the Eagles' Don Henley and Joe Walsh, and with Fleetwood himself &#9679Why Nicks married her best friend's widower &#9679Her dependency on cocaine, drinking and pot, but how it was a decade-long addiction to Klonopin that almost killed her &#9679Nicks' successful solo career that has her still performing in venues like Madison Square Garden &#9679The cult of Nicks and its extension to chart-toppers like Taylor Swift and the Dixie Chicks
