Description
Rose Simpson's memoir offers a unique perspective on the Incredible String Band's story, from their hippie utopia to its eventual implosion. Between 1967 and 1971, Simpson lived with the band, transforming from an English student to a West Coast hippie and eventually becoming the bassist in leathers. Simpson's account provides a voice for the flower-wreathed girls of the psychedelic sixties, whose photographs have become iconic symbols of the era. Through her story, she shares the highs and lows of life on tour with the band, including their experiences at Woodstock and their time in "Swinging London". This memoir is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who lived through this pivotal moment in music history, and offers a fresh perspective on the Incredible String Band's remarkable story.
