NOBODY EVER ASKED ME ABOUT THE GIRLS Women, Music and Fame

Lisa Robinson, music reporter, as well as author and narrator of this audiobook, creates an affecting portrait of life for female music stars. In her husky timbre and New York accent, she reveals anecdotes and quotes from her own interviews of some of the greatest female music stars of the 20th and 21st centuries. Linda Ronstadt, Sheryl Crow, Lady Gaga, and Stevie Nicks all sat down with Robinson and recounted some hair-raising experiences that they faced in the male-dominated music business. Robinson is not a fan of all of her subjects; clipped tones and sarcasm abound when telling some of their stories. Listeners will get a straight dose of reality from her and come to understand that fame sometimes comes at a very high price. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2021]
