Miss O'Dell Summary

Miss O'Dell: Hard Days and Long Nights with The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton by Chris O'Dell

Chris O'Dell has packed a lot in a small amount of time and is probably surprised that she made as far as she has, considering the life she have lived. Hanging around with the Beatles, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones and managing tours for George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Santana, Earth, Wind & Fire and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. In the early 1980s she worked with Led Zeppelin, Phil Collins, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, The Grateful Dead, and The Band.

During all those years, drugs were everywhere. She smoked marijuana, popped black bombers, dropped LSD, and drank endless Scotch and cokes (the Beatles' favourite drink). Getting deep into cocaine while touring with the Stones by the end of the tour in New York she was shooting up the drug. Now sixty years old and with a full life she reflects back on her past.

Miss O'Dell Reviews

If there were such a thing as a female Forrest Gump of rock 'n' roll, Chris O'Dell would be it. --High Times
One of the most rollicking and enjoyable classic rock memoirs of recent years...don't mistakenly file this book under Groupie Lit. --Houston Press
Nick Carraway to classic rock's Gatsbys...brisk and excellent. --The New York Times Book Review
