Description
A stunning musical biography of Stevie Nicks that paints a portrait of an artist, not a caricature of a and expansive, Mirror in the Sky situates Stevie Nicks as one of the finest songwriters of the twentieth biography from distinguished music historian Simon Morrison examines Nicks as a singer and songwriter before and beyond her career with Fleetwood Mac, from the Arizona landscape of her childhood to the strobe-lit Night of 1000 Stevies book uniquely:
- Analyzes Nicks’s craft–the grain of her voice, the poetry of her lyrics, the melodic and harmonic syntax of her songs.
- Identifies the American folk and country influences on her musical imagination that place her within a distinctly American tradition of women songwriters.
- Draws from oral histories and surprising archival discoveries to connect Nicks’s story to those of California’s above- and underground music industries, innovations in recording technology, and gendered restrictions.
