50 Years Down a Country Road
by Ralph Emery
For the past half century, Ralph Emery's incredibly popular radio and television programs have allowed millions to tune into the newest hits and savor their old favorites. Now Ralph combines his unique perspective with an encyclopedic wealth of country lore as he examines the changing face of the music he loves. From Hank Williams, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, and Johnny Cash to Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, and the Dixie Chicks, he chronicles the lives and careers of the stars, many of them his close friends. He shows how country music has changed over the years, but also reveals how its eternal themes and timeless melodies have kept this quintessentially American genre alive and well for fans of all ages.
Hank Williams, So Lonesome
by Bill Koon
Hardcore Troubadour
by Lauren St. John
Steve Earle is the musicians' idol - 'my hero' to Emmylou Harris - who has said of his life that 'If I'd known I was going to live this long I'd have taken better care of myself.' He was taking heroin at thirteen, and by the age of forty was mired in a seemingly permanent 'vacation in the ghetto' as he described his life then. In and out of jail for a variety of offences, Earle seemed determined to make good on his boast that when the end of the world came (and it seemed pretty close at times) only he, Keith Richards and the cockroaches would be left standing. Not yet fifty, he has been married six times, twice to the same woman, and amazingly forgiven by almost all of the ex-wives. In moments of consciousness he has, through sheer musical ability, shared a stage with, among others, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Sheryl Crow, the Pogues and Bob Dylan. He's a legend, and one of the most gifted songwriters of his generation. He has poured a lot of living into those songs. Nashville just wouldn't be the same without him.

Publishers Weekly The author of Dolly: A Biography of Dolly Parton offers brief biographical profiles of and conducts Q & A interviews with 27 popular performers, from the octogenarian ``King of Country Music'' Roy Acuff to Tammy Wynette, the ``Heroine of Heartbreak.'' Nash asks knowledgable, penetrating questions and leads the singers into intimate areas with ease. Many speak with refreshing candor. Wynette: ``Acting is a very special talent. One that I don't think I have.'' The late Marty Robbins: ``I love attention . . . My ears are tuned for the name Marty Robbins.'' Brenda Lee: ``I grew up not really knowing who or what I was. I was what I read I was.'' Charley Pride: ``I don't have skin hang-ups. I'm no color. I'm just Charley Pride, the man.'' Loretta Lynn: ``I've had so many death threats that I don't get out of the bus that much.'' Minnie Pearl reveals the hurtful experiences that led to the creation in 1936 of her comedy character. She also notes the ``special type of camaraderie that exists among country music performers.'' Fans will delight in this hefty volume, replete with integrity, earthy banter and engaging anecdotes that capture the twang of their favorite honkytonk heroes and heroines. Photos not seen by PW.

But now Nash provides a through-the-keyhole look at the lives of 27 country music acts, picked from interviews she has conducted with whom she sees as ``almost every significant country performer of the last several decades.'' She skillfully probes lives and psyches with perceptive questions: ``Have you always thought that you were destined to have this career?''; ``What did you learn about yourself in prison?'' From traditionalists to Southern rockers, from 85-year-old Roy Acuff to 25-year-old Wynonna Judd, her choice of subjects provides us with a wide range of opinion and experience in country music.
