Show notes

CLICK HERE TO HEAR THIS EPISODE'S SOUNDTRACK

Kris is honored to welcome her guest, the First Lady of Rock n Roll herself, Suzi Quatro. From Detroit Rock City and around the globe, Suzi has sold more than 50 million albums and inspired countless female rockers. But being a pioneer wasn't without its hardship. Loneliness, sexism and strained familial relations all weighed on Suzi as she rose to the top. Now a new documentary illustrates how one woman's passion allowed her to persevere in the ultimate Boys Club and forge a path forevermore for female musicians everywhere.

Watch the SUZI Q now on Apple TV.

Track02 - Jenny Boyd Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

Liner Notes:

Kris is honored to welcome her guest, music muse and Beatle ally, Jenny Boyd.

"Just be yourself." These were the worlds of George Harrison to his then sister-in-law, Jenny Boyd. And while the model turned rock wife, followed his advice, she had a rough go of it along the way. From being chased by Beatles fans enraged that she had access, to the Beatles' fateful trip to India; from San Francisco's peace-loving streets to the drug-fueled parties of the 70s and finally to her own path, Jenny's story is riveting, sad and wildly exciting. Join us for stories of her travels and observations of some of the most memorable moments in music history as they appear in her new memoire, Jennifer Juniper, a Journey Beyond the Muse.

Jenny's book is available in paperback and Kindle edition.
