She Can Really Lay It Down

In She Can Really Lay It Down, author Rachel Frankel tells the fascinating stories of fifty female musicians who left their indelible mark on music and culture. From under-celebrated industry greats like Carol Kaye - the kickass bass player who we’ve all listened to but never heard of - to legends like Nina Simone - the American singer, songwriter, pianist, and civil rights activist - She Can Really Lay It Down showcases outstanding female-identified musicians from the 20th and 21st centuries.

Featuring a foreword by music critic and New Yorker staff writer Amanda Petrusich and an exposed black-and- white spine, this one-of-a-kind book will inspire a whole new generation of fearless, talented performers.
