Summary
A stunning musical biography of Stevie Nicks that paints a portrait of an artist, not a caricature of a superstar.
Reflective and expansive, Mirror in the Sky situates Stevie Nicks as one of the finest songwriters of the twentieth century.
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.
The 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.

Quotes from various sources give the book a more rounded basis
I am a huge Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac fan and this book is a step up from others I have read. Numerous sources make it more balanced. A must read for fans of the group or SN.

Tedious
This book is hard work. The narrator is OK but much of the content is boring and very tedious, I couldn't wait to get to the end, almost quit several times. If all the 'Octave references' were removed, the book would be half the length. It drove to to despair. This is one of the least memorable books I've listened to. I love Stevie and wanted to know more about her. Nothing new in this book. I wouldn't recommend it. Waste of a credit.
