One of the most beloved country music stars of all time gives us the first collection of her lyrics and, in her own words, tells the stories that inspired her most popular songs, such as "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin'," and, of course, "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl." Loretta Lynn's rags-to-riches story--from her hardscrabble childhood in Butcher Holler, Kentucky, through her marriage to Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn when she was thirteen, to her dramatic rise to the top of the charts--has resonated with countless fans throughout her more than fifty-year career. Now, the anecdotes she shares here give us deeper insight into her life, her collaborations, her influences, and how she pushed the boundaries of country music by discussing issues important to working-class women, even when they were considered taboo. Readers will also get a rare look at the singer's handwritten lyrics and at personal photographs from her childhood, of her family, and of her performing life. Honky Tonk Girl: A Life in Lyrics is one more way for Lynn's fans--those who already love her and those who soon will--to know the heart and mind of this remarkable woman.

The Honky Tonk Life or, "Put a Flashing Neon Light on My Tombstone" is by far award-winning author RD Foster's best work to date; an instant classic, reminiscent of a time when music was king and all the world its subjects. A sort of coming of age story in reverse that combines all the best and all the worst of the elements of the old-school music world. Set concurrently in the 1990s, as well as in the turbulent 1960s, it features a unique twist on the never-ending quest for stardom and fame. Mysterious and alluring things begin to happen to California surfer boy, turned country-and-western musician, Brady Schmalzie. On the brink of financial ruin, bankruptcy and foreclosure, and with no possible solutions in sight, Brady receives a letter from an attorney in Fort Worth, Texas. Brady, along with his golden goddess girlfriend, Honey B Goode, travels to Texas where they find that the truth is sometimes so much stranger than fiction. So begins Brady's sojourn into another world and time where things may or may not be all that they seem. Neat, witty and with more twists and turns than the US Interstate system can provide, you will ride along with a unique cast of characters that only RD Foster's mind can imagine. Topped off with conspiracy, organized crime and a lot of beautiful women, sex and wild partying, The Honky Tonk Life, or "Put a Flashing Neon Light on My Tombstone" will grab you hard and never let you go.

Earthy, sexy, and vivacious, the life of beloved country singer, Patsy Cline, who soared from obscurity to international fame to tragic death in just thirty short years, is explored in colorful and poignant detail. An innovator?and even a hell-raiser?Cline broke all the boys' club barriers of Nashville's music business in the 1950s and brought a new Nashville sound to the nation with her pop hits and torch ballads like ?Walking After Midnight," ?I Fall to Pieces? and "Crazy." She is the subject of a major Hollywood movie and countless articles, and her albums are still selling 45 years after her death. Ellis Nassour was the very first to write about Cline and did so with the cooperation of the stars who knew and loved her?including Jimmy Dean, Jan Howard, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn, Roger Miller, Dottie West, and Faron Young. He was the only writer to interview Cline's mother and husbands. This updated edition features not only a complete discography and a host of never-before-published photographs, but includes an afterword that details controversial claims about her birth, the battle between Cline's siblings for her possessions, the amazing influence Cline had on a new generation of singers and, in Cline's own words from letters to a devoted friend, her excitement as her career soared to new heights and her marriage descended to new depths.
