Book Overview
With country music as popular as ever-what other form of music has been honored on an official state quarter? Country Music's Most Wanted hits the stage to bring you tales of country music's famous and infamous. Alan Jackson delivered mail to Hee Haw before he made it big. Garth Brooks was booed off the stage during an eleventh-grade talent show. Kris Kristofferson landed a borrowed helicopter on Johnny Cash's lawn so he could pitch Cash a song. You'll read about Vernon Dalhart, Kenny Chesney, Hank Williams, the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, the Carters, the Cashes, the Webbs, and so many more artists of yesterday and today. With more than fifty lists, Country Music's Most Wanted(tm) gives you those stories and people plus fun discussions of the best train songs, phone call songs, humorous songs, and tequila songs (you provide the salt and limes). Country music's vibrant past, successful present, and bright future are all represented in this humorous look at the stars and legends of Music City. From the first million-selling record in 1924 to the songs you heard on the radio last night, Country Music's Most Wanted has a tractor-full of fun country music trivia!

Cream of the Crop
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
There are a lot of trivia books on the market. Most of them do not live up to their hype or our hope. This book is a happy exception. Peppiatt manages to have it both ways -- it is a fast-moving collection of short, punchy, themed chapters, while at the same time, it goes into some obscure, loving, fascinating detail. It also covers a great deal of ground on the country landscape, from recounting the time Garth Brooks was booed off the stage at an 11th grade talent show; to Ferlin Husky's alter egos, Simon Crum and Terry Preston; to Six Degrees of Red Foley. All in all, it's something any fan of country music will devour, and it just might make a few non-fans want to hear more. Good job!
