The author, a unique voice in American music, transcends a rough childhood and a heroin habit, and writes a memoir as lyrical as her poetic songs of street life and its denizens. She grows up amid fractured parents and siblings, and the turning point is when Rickie emancipates herself and takes to the road as a fourteen year old runaway in a stolen car. Time and time again, she is saved by sympathetic strangers, by a kind policeman, by her mother, and by Tom Waits, Lowell George, and Dr. John, the unholy trio of her life. Rickie's dramatic and unlikely rise to sudden stardom does not destroy her, and the reader will be convinced of her heroism in surviving and coming out the other side with wisdom and grace. The book is filled with poignant photos and song lyrics.

"There was only one chair left for women musicians at the big table, whereas the boys-only room had plenty of empty chairs."

"I was aware before I even made a record of the danger of being used up too fast."

"Musicians rarely enjoy playing hometowns where we are forever trying to prove something."… (more)
