Muse, Odalisque, Handmaiden : A Girl's Life in the Incredible String Band
Incredible String Band - Book - by Rose Simpson
(2021)
Rose and partner Mike Heron
believed in, and lived, a naive vision of utopia in Scotland. But they
were also a band on tour, enjoying the thrills of that life. They were
at the center of “Swinging London” and at the Chelsea Hotel with Andy
Warhol's superstars. They shared stages with rock idols and played at
Woodstock in 1969. Rose and fellow ISB member Licorice were hippie
pin-ups, while Heron and Robin Williamson the seers and prophets of a
new world.
Through a haze of incense and marijuana, they played
out their Arcadian dreams on stages brilliant with the colors of
clothes, light-shows, rugs, cushions, and exotic instruments. Like most
utopias, the ISB's imploded. Never seeing herself as a professional
musician, Rose retained an outsider's detachment even while living the
life of a hippie chick. Her memoir gives a voice to those
flower-wreathed girls whose photographs have become symbols of the
psychedelic sixties.
