A Dose of Rock 'n' Roll (Hardcover)

~ Nancy Lee Andrews (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

It has been said that rock ‘n’ roll was a boys-only club in the 1960s and 1970s. Among the few women who gained entry was a high-spirited, half-Sicilian and half-Cherokee beauty named Nancy Lee Andrews. As a top Ford model, Andrews was the perfect complement to one of the world’s biggest rock stars, former Beatle Ringo Starr. Her romantic relationship with the famous drummer granted her an All Access Pass to a world beyond the velvet rope. These photographs, taken over a decade starting in 1970, are a personal journey through Andrews’ life at the peak of pop culture history. It’s also an intimate view of the stars with whom she shared those amazing years. Seen through the lens of Nancy Lee Andrews, this fascinating visual portrayal captures some of the greatest rock and other icons of our lifetime. This is a casebound signed edition.

Terrill "marshzoe" (Tempe, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I'm stunnted by the presentation of this gorgeous book - it comes with a slipcover and signed and numbered by Nancy Lee Andrews. But the pictures are worth its weight in gold - rock icons of the 1970s in their prime include Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Keith Moon, Harry Nilsson, Bob Dylan, the Band, Donovan.

Holland (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    A Dose of Rock 'n' Roll I just received my copy of this book and could not put it down. The author's photos give the reader a gentle and intimate look into the lives of some of rock's well-known (and not-so-well-known) musical movers and shakers of the wonderful 70's, but maybe even more revealing is the commentary accompanying the great photos . . . soulful and gentle. A beautifully done book and a wonderful gift for anyone who lived and loved the music of those times. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars the signed, limited edition is beautiful, August 27, 2008 By  Tonya K. Perrotto "mediabear" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I was waiting for the regular hardcover of this book to be released, but clicked on Amazon's link to the signed copy. With the discount off of the cover price, it was only about $12 more than waiting for the hardcover release. I am so glad I spent the extra bit of money because this book is truly a work of art. It is a limited edition of 2500. It is signed by the author and she also numbers your copy with your personal number out of the 2500 available. The book comes in a hardcover shell so that it is protected. The photographs are gorgeous. There are color and black and white photographs. The author also writes blurbs as well as expanded text about the images. This book is perfect if you are a fan of the Beatles, the 1970s, rock and roll, popular culture, or art photography. There are photographs of everyone from Ringo Starr to a very young Angelina Jolie. This is a book I will treasure for a lifetime.
