For a while, Daisy Jones & The Six were everywhere. Their albums were on every turntable, they sold out arenas from coast to coast, their sound defined an era. And then, on 12 July 1979, they split. Nobody ever knew why. Until now.

They were lovers and friends and brothers and rivals. They couldn't believe their luck, until it ran out. This is their story of the early days and the wild nights, but everyone remembers the truth differently.

The only thing they all know for sure is that from the moment Daisy Jones walked barefoot onstage at the Whisky, their lives were irrevocably changed.

Making music is never just about the music. And sometimes it can be hard to tell where the sound stops and the feelings begin.

Review of 'Daisy Jones & The Six' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

unfurling like a VH1 Behind The Music episode, this was a nice little story about rock and roll that DIDN'T go where you expected it to. And and I'm so grateful that this was a romance that took the harder, less glamourous road of stability and resolve. As a plus, it also made me realize the depth and detail required to make a truly great record, and the so-obvious-now reasons that bands like The Lowest of the Low break-up just as they hit their stratospheric high.
