Well-researched biography of one of the most influential women in the history of American music. Despite his obvious admiration for his subject, Richmond rarely pulls his punches in recounting the many personal and professional trials, tragedies, and triumphs of Norma Deloris Eggstrom, the sad little girl from North Dakota who evolved into Miss Peggy Lee, one of the most celebrated entertainers in the world. During the course of the seven decades that comprised her remarkable career, we are privileged to meet most of the great figures in both jazz and contemporary music. With very few exceptions, they all were in awe of Peggy Lee. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves

Anyone who nurses nostalgia for the early sixties, and the emergence of folk music as a defining cultural vehicle of that period, will be enchanted by this book. Written from material gathered from several hundred interviews, Hajdu is able to make us believe we are immersed in a novel with fascinating characters who happen to be real. He weaves the complicated backstory of folk music icons Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Richard and Mimi Baez Farina from their early family lives to their emergence into the infant days of the Greenwich Village Bohemian scene. It becomes apparent as the stories unfold that these talented and tortured artists pioneered a new form of creative expression and created an enduring genre and lifestyle based on their relationships with each other and interaction with the world around them. ~ Reviewed by Karen Frank
