Praise for Storms
“Carol Ann Harris experienced the brightness and darkness of rock and roll and bring[s] it to life in a passionate classic.”
“Fascinating... [Carol Ann Harris] candidly recount[s] Buckingham’s rage and his repeated physical assaults on her. Along the way, she offers great descriptions of the band’s recording sessions, especially her account of Buckingham’s desire to create something new, something completely different for Tusk, the more experimental (and less profitable) follow-up to Rumours.”
“Fleetwood Mac abandoned its blues roots to pursue mainstream commercial success even before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined it in 1975. Harris, then Buckingham’s girlfriend, chronicles the behind-the-scenes drugs-and-sex-and-rock-and-roll aspects of the band’s late-1970s climb to mega mainstream success... seekers of celebrity dirt will revel in this work.”
“Storms is a must-read for any fan of Fleetwood Mac.”
“After reading Storms, you’ll never hear Fleetwood Mac’s or Buckingham’s music in the same light. ”
“Fans will be enthralled.”
