Jenny Boyd – Sister In Law To George Harrison & Eric Clapton – Talks About New Book ‘Icons of Rock-In Their Own Word’ (INTERVIEW) – Glide Magazine
Back in the 1960s, Jenny Boyd and her sister Pattie were top models in Britain, being courted by rock stars and living a jet-set life. Serenaded by Donovan on his 1968 Hurdy Gurdy Man album with the Top 5 UK single “Jennifer Juniper” and marriage to drummer Mick Fleetwood, the middle Boyd daughter ended up following a different path in her life: academia and psychology. Still just as lovely at 76, Boyd spent this past weekend in NYC at The Fest For Beatles Fans, and on February 13th, an update of her 2013 book, Icons Of Rock: In Their Own Words, will be officially released. Not your run-of-the-mill music book, Boyd has always been interested in creativity, especially how musicians write songs. Having access to some of the world’s most famous artists – George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Don Henley – gave Boyd a chance to pick their brains about the muse that haunts them and how they capture the transcendental images she releases. Featuring over 75 songwriters and running 432 pages, this book is truly a holy grail for those who wonder how a song is given birth.
