Daisy Jones & The Six – Taylor Jenkins Reid<\/p><\/div>\n

Told as an oral history of the band responsible for one of the biggest albums of the 1970s, Daisy Jones & The Six<\/em> covers the rise and spectacular fall of the collaboration known as Daisy Jones & The Six.\u00a0 The Six were a traditional rock band, working their way towards success, with one album under their belt and another one on the way.\u00a0 Daisy Jones was a precocious groupie-turned-singer, looking to make it on her own terms and nobody else’s.\u00a0 When their shared label suggested they join forces for one song on the second album from The Six, it became the groups biggest hit and a successful tour, with Jones as the opening act.\u00a0 The suggestion that she join the band leads to a commercial and critical smash hit, but at what cost?<\/p>\n

It’s a tale as old as time, or at least as old as rock and roll.\u00a0 A band rises to the top, egos get bigger and tensions flare, love affairs begin and end, and then *POOF*, just as quickly as it all began, it all comes crashing down.\u00a0 Choosing to tell this tale as an oral history was a genius move by Taylor Jenkins Reid.\u00a0 Instead of trying to create life on the road for a 70s rock band, something that would be difficult to do authentically for anyone who wasn’t part of that scene, she instead creates the book equivalent of the group’s Behind The Music<\/em> episode, something we are all familiar with, and lets the reader fill in the details and the missing pieces in-between the memories of each band member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
