Rock and Roll Woman: The 50 Fiercest Female Rockers by Meredith Ochs
Rock and Roll Woman: The 50 Fiercest Female Rockers by Meredith Ochs
From ethereal chanteuses to blues belters and guitar slingers, the fifty amazing female artists and groups profiled in this book not only illustrate the width and breadth of rock music; they define it.
Award-winning radio personality, author, and musician Meredith Ochs explores iconic rock-and-roll women across the genre, from the birth of rock to today. Big Mama Thornton howled and astounded in her recording of "Hound Dog" several years before Elvis shot to fame with the song, and Janis Joplin and Grace Slick ruled the counterculture scene as queens of the 1960s. Siouxsie Sioux's haunting melodies defined what goth rock was before anybody knew it existed, while the Go'Go's snapped California pop into shape with a New Wave twist. Ochs also includes eclectic artists like Amy Winehouse, Gwen Stefani, and Cyndi Lauper. Illustrated with more than 100 striking black-and-white and color photographs -- many rarely seen -- this book celebrates women rockers who indelibly shook up the music scene.
