Sing Your Heart Out, Country Boy: Classic Country Songs and Their Inside Stories by the People Who Wrote Them

This is the definitive country music book. Here are the lyrics to every country song that matters, from “Sixteen Tons” to “ Your Cheatin’ Heart” to “I Walk the Line,” with comments on each song by the artist who wrote it, or a friend or heir. The list of contributors reads like all-star night in Nashville: Loretta Lynn tells how “Coal Miner’s Daughter” came out of her own experience while the author of “Gentle on My Mind” reveals that the inspiration for the song came from watching the movie Dr. Zhuvago. Audrey Williams talks about her husband, Hank. Maybelle Carter remembers A. P. Carter. Kris Kristofferson, Gene Autry, Hank Snow, Roy Acuff, Bobby Gentry, and countless others speak for themselves.
