The two-time Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter bares her heart and soul in this intimate memoir, a story of music, stardom, love, family, heritage, and resilience.
She inspired songs—Leon Russell wrote “A Song for You” and “Delta Lady” for her, Stephen Stills wrote “Cherokee.” She co-wrote songs—“Superstar” and the piano coda to “Layla,” uncredited. She sang backup for Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, and Stills, before finding fame as a solo artist with such hits as “We're All Alone” and “(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher.” Following her story from Lafayette, Tennessee to becoming one of the most sought after rock vocalists in LA in the 1970s, Delta Lady chronicles Rita Coolidge’s fascinating journey throughout the ’60s-’70s pop/rock universe.
A muse to some of the twentieth century’s most influential rock musicians, she broke hearts, and broke up bands. Her relationship with drummer Jim Gordon took a violent turn during the legendary 1970 Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour; David Crosby maintained that her triangle with Stills and Graham Nash was the last straw for the group. Her volatile six-year marriage to Kris Kristofferson yielded two Grammys, a daughter, and one of the Baby Boom generation’s epic love stories. Throughout it all, her strength, resilience, and inner and outer beauty—along with her strong sense of heritage and devotion to her family—helped her to not only survive, but thrive. Co-written with best-selling author Michael Walker, Delta Lady is a rich, deeply personal memoir that offers a front row seat to an iconic era, and illuminates the life of an artist whose career has helped shape modern American culture.

Review
“Candidly tells the ups and downs of her life story, including her romantic relationships with Leon Russell, Stephen Still, Graham Nash and Kris Kristofferson.” (Parade)
“Unusually frank and compelling.” (San Diego Union-Tribune)
“DELTA LADY is so intimate, you feel you are in a room with Rita Coolidge as she confides her experiences as backup singer, songwriter, star — and muse to some of rock’s greatest talents. An extraordinary, moving, and insightful journey through the minefields of musical talent, ego and glamour.” (Sheila Weller, author of GIRLS LIKE US: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon — and the Journey of a Generation)
“Lyrical…. Exhibits a deep understanding of human nature…. Authentic and intimate.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Surprisingly rich… in a manner that rarely seems gossipy and never salacious, the author presents her perspective on the sea changes that rock underwent in the early 1970s, an era in which she played a key role…. This illuminating autobiography exceeds expectations.” (Kirkus)
“It’s funny how one person’s memory can wake yours up, transporting you instantly to that particular time in your life. The life story of this beautiful, strong, elegant woman takes me back to a happier place in my past and I hope others get the same feeling reading Rita’s story, the story of a life well worth living.” (Graham Nash)
“The personal saga of a young woman who was driven to sing and the account of a time in which pop music itself was finding a new version of itself…. A positive, uplifting life story…. For Coolidge’s legion of fans, this is a must-read.” (Booklist)

Behind the curtains
By Mary M.
There is no one I would rather listen to than Rita Coolidge. I have gone to hear Rita at great venues such as Madison square garden when she was married to Kris, and just about any place she appeared in NYC solo. My favorite was at a Supper club within a hotel on Madison Avenue where In between songs she would stop and tell long stories about the circumstances of the song or the time and place. Rita is a great story teller who kept her audiences captivated and entertained. She was so warm and after the show you could have your picture taken with her and say hello.
Her stories although shorter than those in the book, however, never placed the person she was talking about in a bad light. She would never, as far as I remember criticize somebody else for there off key singing or repeat something they might have said in there darkest hours.
Throughout the book I wondered if this was Rita's voice or Michael walkers voice wanting to spice it up or an editor who thought a certain "tone" would sell more books. If you love Rita like I do you will have to buy the book and read it for yourself, however I think a lot was lost in having a co-author. Do not misunderstand me, the book was a page turner and gave me glimpse into a world that is hard to relate to. I guess it is just the side of Rita Coolidge I never imagined

Delta Lady Shines
By Ouija
Rita Coolidge is one of my favorite singers of all time. I had the great fortune to meet her after a show in Las Vegas, and she was the most gracious person you would ever want to meet. That graciousness shines through in Delta Lady. I have always wished that one day Rita would tell her story, and here she does just that with warmth, honesty and a sense of humor. Stories about her childhood, experiences on the road with Joe Cocker, meeting and marrying Kris Kristofferson, and being a chart-topping artist are all told as if Rita was an old friend. It's clear that there is still sadness about the dissolution of her marriage to Kris, but I admire them for remaining friends. Rita talks about the people she has met on her long journey through the music industry and I can see why so many people couldn't help but to love her. She's a classy lady through and through. This is certainly one of the most enjoyable memoirs I've ever read.

Thank you for sharing ....
By Becky Taken
I've been a fan forever based on her voice alone. She has shared her story and insight into an era of music that continued to change and grow in spite of so much drama within the industry. I loved the story of Joe Cocker since he is also one of my all-time favorites and now I appreciate him even more. A tumultuous story (I remember so many of the incidents in the news at that time that she shares with just enough emotion so as not to villain-ize any of the people involved in her life) told with love and beauty.
