Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation (Hardcover)
by Sheila Weller (Author)


Review
"Girls Like Us is about three women whose courageous, defiant talent defined a generation. Whether you read it to rediscover that wonderfully stormy time -- the '60s and early feminist movement -- or to discover it for the first time, take it to heart. Sacrifice, hard work, and daring to dream is still the tale of girls like us." -- Carole Radziwill, author of the New York Times bestseller What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love

"More than the story of three pop stars, Girls Like Us chronicles a generation of young women who had a moving determination to recast their lives and loves as high adventure. Weller beautifully captures the mammoth enterprise of making a new womanhood." -- Christine Stansell, author of American Moderns: Bohemian New York and the Creation of a New Century

"Juicy and politically astute, this book is a page-turner, and it fills a gaping hole in the history of the counterculture." -- Peter Biskind, bestselling author of Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-and-Rock 'n' Roll Generation Changed Hollywood

"Reading Girls Like Us is like sneaking into a reunion of the hippest class from the '60s...where all the secrets come spilling out after the third glass of wine." -- Suzanne Finstad, bestselling author of Natasha: A Biography of Natalie Wood

"A wild ride through an important part of rock history that too often has been overlooked. This book will stay on my shelf next to albums like Blue and Tapestry, places I turn to to capture a more innocent and romantic era in music and in my life." -- Charles R. Cross, bestselling author of Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix

"There were five books by my bedside when Girls Like Us arrived, but this was the book I had to keep reading. It's filled with nuggets I hadn't known about, and this generation of women is my subject! If you love the singers and the songs, you'll tear through Girls Like Us." -- Sara Davidson, bestselling author of Loose Change: Three Women of the Sixties and Leap!: What Will We Do with the Rest of Our Lives?

Book Description

A groundbreaking and irresistible biography of three of America's most important musical artists -- Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon -- charts their lives as women at a magical moment in time.

Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon remain among the most enduring and important women in popular music. Each woman is distinct. Carole King is the product of outer-borough, middle-class New York City; Joni Mitchell is a granddaughter of Canadian farmers; and Carly Simon is a child of the Manhattan intellectual upper crust. They collectively represent, in their lives and their songs, a great swath of American girls who came of age in the late 1960s. Their stories trace the arc of the now mythic sixties generation -- female version -- but in a bracingly specific and deeply recalled way, far from cliché. The history of the women of that generation has never been written -- until now, through their resonant lives and emblematic songs.

Filled with the voices of many dozens of these women's intimates, who are speaking in these pages for the first time, this alternating biography reads like a novel -- except it's all true, and the heroines are famous and beloved. Sheila Weller captures the character of each woman and gives a balanced portrayal enriched by a wealth of new information.

Girls Like Us is an epic treatment of midcentury women who dared to break tradition and become what none had been before them -- confessors in song, rock superstars, and adventurers of heart and soul.

New book captures photographer's life with Ringo Starr
"Ringo Starr wasn't the first Beatle in my life - that place is held by John Lennon."

Thus begins the text about John Lennon by photographer Nancy Lee Andrews in her

The book is rich in photos of tender moments with Ringo, his loving relationship with his children, his playfulness and their travels around the world. Her years with the famous Beatle drummer brought Andrews and her highly original and perceptive camerawork into the world of some of the greatest rock and roll and pop icons of the time, along with the women who loved them. Among many others appearing in the images and text of the book, in addition to Ringo and the late, great John Lennon and George Harrison, are Keith Moon, Bernie Taupin, Arlo Guthrie, Hoyt Axton and Eric Clapton, to name a few

A Dose of Rock 'n' Roll is being issued by Dalton Watson Fine Books in a limited edition of 2,500. Priced at $69, it contains 292 pages, 207 color and 98 black and white photos, numbered and signed by Andrews, in a slipcase. It will debut at The Fest for Beatles Fans 2008 at the Meadowlands Hotel in Secaucus, New Jersey from March 28-30, 2008. The author will be on hand at the hotel to autograph books on Friday, 5pm-midnight; Saturday, noon-midnight; and Sunday, noon-10:30 pm. A regular edition will be released in June, 2008 for $39. ISBN # 978-1-85443-235-3.


Nancy Lee Andrews grew up between Jersey City and Alabama. She has worked notably and successfully on both sides of the camera. As a Ford model, she posed for legendary fashion photographers Richard Avedon, Milton Greene, Burt Stern and Irving Penn. Over the years of modeling she became increasingly interested in how the camera "captured the moment." Greene, realizing her potential, gave her a Nikon camera and some film and told her to "start shooting." Under his guidance, and from that first roll of film, she was hooked.

According to Andrews, "Ringo Starr was also ardent about photography. It was a huge part of our life." They collaborated on two album covers, Ringo the 4th and Bad Boy, as well as the advertising shoot for his "Ringo" special.

In her book, Andrews captures the moment in words as well as images. Here's a brief sample, about a day in George Harrison's house. "George looked at me and said, 'Nancy, I want to give you something.' He took out a bowl of Indian cabochon blood rubies and told me to take as many as I wanted and design something for myself. I was astounded and asked for paper and pencil and started sorting through the rubies. Some were small and others ranged to the size of quail eggs. As George strummed the guitar and chatted with Ringo, I feverishly drew a design and showed it to the boys. George smiled and looked at Ringo and said, 'Alright, I've given Nancy the stones, now you can give her the gold.'" Later, Ringo had a necklace made by Aspreys, the Queen of England's jewelers.

An exhibition of Andrews's photo portraits of musicians from the 1970s selected from A Dose of Rock 'n' Roll will be on view at Rock Star Gallery in Scottsdale, Ariz. April 12, 2008; The Ingleside Inn and Melvyn's in Palm Springs, Calif. April 13-14; the June Kelly Gallery in SoHo, New York from June 11-14 and at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville from July 13 to August 31. A national gallery and museum tour is being planned.

Andrews is married and lives with her husband Eddie Barnes in Nashville.
