An enjoyable book on country music with some really good stories. Each chapter focused on a different artist or person associated with country music, past and present. I found some of the chapters on the lesser known people quite interesting, while other chapters, such as those on Johnny Cash and George Jones amounted to little more than quick bios. They weren't bad, but I would have rather had a story relating to the artist or a lesser known artist in place of those bios.

I knew Peter Cooper's writing from his years with The Tennessean newspaper, so I had no doubts about appreciating this book. But man, what stories, brought to life again by a true storyteller. Even the ones I've heard before were a thrill to rediscover.
