A Country Music Legend

Jumping Bill Carlisle's career began back in the 1930's. He was a versatile entertainer performing as Smiling Bill Carlisle, The Carlisle Brothers, Hot Shot Elmer, and later years as Jumping Bill Carlisle. He joined the grand ole opry in 1953 and continued to perform there each weekend, his last performance came 10 days before he passed away at the age of 94. This book is a great biography on the life and times of Bill Carlisle as it is told by Bill himself. There is very little music available of this great man on cd, so this book is the next best thing. However i did receive news that bear family records is planning to release a single cd of 30 or more of his recordings on it so lets be sure to look out for its release and cross our fingers for a future Box Set. This book belongs to every fan of the Carlisles, whether you own his music or just seen and listenend to him perform on the grand ole opry, any fan of traditonal country music will be glad to add this book to there library.
