nA stunning musical biography of Stevie Nicks that paints a portrait of an artist, not a caricature of a superstar. n Reflective and expansive, Mirror in the Sky situates Stevie Nicks as one of the finest songwriters of the twentieth century. n n This 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 celebrations. n n The book uniquely: n n- Analyzes Nickss craft--the grain of her voice, the poetry of her lyrics, the melodic and harmonic syntax of her songs. n- Identifies the American folk and country influences on her musical imagination that place her within a distinctly American tradition of women songwriters. n- Draws from oral histories and surprising archival discoveries to connect Nickss story to those of Californias above- and underground music industries, innovations in recording technology, and gendered restrictions.
