A COUNTRY MUSIC GIANT

THIS BOOK GIVES SOME INSIGHT AS TO WHY HANK SNOW WAS SUCH A GREAT COUNTRY SINGER .AS YOU READ HIS STORY,YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY,AND HOW HE COULD PUT SUCH FEELINGS IN HIS SONGS. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SEE HANK IN PERSON FOR TWO SHOWS IN 1978 IN HUNTER MOUNTAIN N.Y. THE BOOK IS WRITTEN IN SUCH A WAY IT SEEMS AS THOUGH HANK IS TELLING YOU HIS STORY IN PERSON. A GREAT BOOK ABOUT A GREAT PERSON.I HATED TO FINISH IT.

A fascinating book about a fascinating man.
