Customer Reviews

Fascinating look at country legends.

The shelf of good books on country music is a small one. However, this is one of the best. It contains thoughtful, often amusing interviews with a number of country and western entertainers, some famous, a few not so famous.Most of the interviews are excellent and highly informative. There are only a few "clinkers" for example, she takes David Allan Coes intermittently amusing messianic rant a little too seriously. However, that is the exception. Most of the conversations, especially with women , offer real insights. For example, the interview with Lacy J. Dalton tells the reader much about the life, and the beliefs, of that sadly neglected talent, while the interview with Loretta Lynn possesses an odd poignancy.
