From 60s icons like Hank Marvin, to Peter Gabriel, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Stevie Nicks, Ronnie Wood, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash, John Mayall, Peter Frampton, Ravi Shankar, Nancy Wilson to Kirsty MacColl and Ice-T, instrumentalist and producers, this is a bible of rock royalty. It's an intimate portrait of their craft and a unique insight into how the world's most legendary rock stars created and delivered their greatest music. The former 1960s model and younger sister of Pattie Boyd (who was married to George Harrison and Eric Clapton), Jenny was married to Mick Fleetwood twice and has been immersed in the world of rock 'n' roll since her teens. She even inspired Donovan and Mick Jagger to write songs about her including Donovan's famous hit 'Jennifer Juniper'. A good friend to the Beatles, Jenny worked at their retail venture Apple Boutique in London. In 1968 she accompanied her sister Pattie on the band's visit to India where they studied under the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Jenny co-wrote two songs for the band Fleetwood Mac, miscredited to Mick!
