-
Rock chick: n. A gutsy, high-energy female singer/musician who challenges the stereotypical pop-queen image. Janis Joplin was part of the first wave of female singers who shifted perceptions, from folk singers like Joan Baez and the girl groups of the 1960s such as The Supremes and Martha & the Vendettas. Rock Chicks profiles the hottest rock 'n' roll women, spanning the 1960s to current times - from Janis Joplin, Suzi Quattro and Chrissie Hynde to Courtney Love and Pink. With perceptive biographies and in-depth music critiques, author Alison Stieven-Taylor gives an up-close and personal look at the experiences, adventures and musical passions of these extraordinary and talented women whose wild vocals and on-stage antics have made them rock 'n' roll legends. This highly illustrated book - which features the photographs of Tony Mott, leading rock photographer, a rock 'n' roll bible with a paperback jacket that folds out into a poster of the hottest rock 'n' roll women the world has ever seen.
