Reviews
"Alton Delmore's effort to make sense of the world and his life -- which he firmly and correctly believed was an important story to tell -- is true folk literature, written with honesty, directness, informality, and candor. It is completely in Alton's own language, and his sensitivity and eloquence shine through every page. This is one of the finest country music biographies ever written." -- Robert K. Oermann, co-author of Finding Her Voice: The Saga of Women in Country Music
