Rebel Heart is Bebe Buell's no-holds-barred account of her life at the center of the rock scene in the '70s and '80s, when rock stars were royalty. A wild child model who took New York by storm, Buell captivated a generation of rock's greatest talents. Her relationships with musicians like wunderkind Todd Rundgren, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler--father of her daughter Liv-Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page and Elvis Costello played out against a backdrop of some of the most legendary locales of the era: Max's Kansas City and CBGBs in New York, the "Riot House" in Los Angeles and Tramps in London.

Bebe's spirit informed some of the greatest songs of her time, and her book is bursting with the stori! es she was a part of, the fun she had, and the music she helped make.

Bebe Buell's first record in ten years, is a deeply autobiographical, cinematic rock n' roll affair. Wide in scope and very emotional, "Sugar" is quite a ride.

On the opening track "When We Were Godhead" Bebe deftly pints a picture of her early days on the scene with her uniquely powerful delivery, behind blazing guitars, pounding drums and soaring strings. That is just the beginning of her journey. "Love Is" is a sultry gem, Bebe's operatic delivery in the chorus is stunning. "Black Angel" is a beautifully heartbreaking tribute to her late friend Joey Ramone. Then there is the fun, sexy future pop of the title track.

Next Bebe turns in a smoldering performance of Johnny Thunders' "Untouchable" (a song he always wanted her to cover) and truly makes it her own. "Grey Girl" is exquisite,lush and impassioned. "Timeline" is a venomous cathartic tale in a tasty pop setting. "Happy Now" r! ips and roars with hard rock gusto, a very personal view going! by at 8 0 mph. Rounding out the set are the sentimental "Trunk of Dreams", the timely pop culture treatise "Air Kisses For The Masses" (by NY gay icon Dean Johnson) and the other-worldy "I Will Wait". The final track is a bombastic orchestral number, a sort of personal manifesto, "Fall and Rise".

The album was recorded in Williamsburg, Brooklyn by the hot new production team Twinomatick (Bobbie Rae and Jimmy Walls) and mixed at Boston rock legend David Minehan's Waltham MA studio Woolly Mammoth Sound. Sir Minehan even contributes wailing lead guitar to "Air Kisses". New and classic "Sugar" is rock n' roll past,present and future.rock babe- BEBE BUELL & George Carlin interviews

The stylish, exuberant, and remarkably sweet confession of one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and 70s is back in print in this new edition that includes an afterword on the author's last 15 years of adventures. As soon as she graduated from high school, Pamela Des Barres headed for the Sunse! t Strip, where she knocked on rock stars' backstage doors and immersed herself in the drugs, danger, and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s. Over the next 10 years she had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. She traveled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons, Ray Davies, and Frank Zappa. As a member of the GTO's, a girl group masterminded by Frank Zappa, she was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance in the history of modern popular music. Warm, witty, and sexy, this kiss-and-tellâ€"all stands out as the perfect chronicle of one of rock 'n' roll's most thrilling eras.
