After I finished reading, I felt as though I had been to a family reunion, for a family that was totally dysfunctional except for the fact that everyone could be instantly bonded by Mother Maybelle Carter picking the 'Wildwood Flower.' It is a beautifully written book. - Tom T. Hall, member of the Country Music Hall of Fame All I can say is, '(Peter Cooper) is one hell of a writer.' -- Hank Williams Jr. I really enjoyed this book. Reading about the Cowboy brought back many great memories. -- John Prine An eminently readable romp...Cooper's an obvious expert on the unique history of (country) music and (Nashville), but what comes across most strongly is his genuine love for the music. It's that passion which makes this a delightful and poignant read. -- American Songwriter magazine Peter Cooper looks at the world with an artist's eye and a human heart and soul. -- Kris Kristofferson Readers will be hard-pressed to find a selection in Cooper's book that lacks humor and humanity... -- The Bluegrass Situation Like most things that are good, it's hard to classify the book: it's a memoir; it's an encyclopedic record of the Old Testament-esque origins of country music; it's a behind-the-scenes look at legends struggling with mortality and legacy...They're all remembered with dignity, sincerity, humor, and heartfelt conviction-with writing that's tight and clean and erudite and all those other words writers use to describe good writing...I suggest picking up a copy ofJohnny's Cash and Charley's Pride. You won't be disappointed. - NATIVE magazine Musician, singer, songwriter, producer, author, professor, and music journalist...Peter Cooper is a modern day renaissance man. -- Bob Edwards, NPR The art of the stories is in the telling, which is where Cooper wins the argument. Arriving at the end of this sparkling collection, few will doubt that writing about music is exactly what Cooper should be doing. - The Washington Post
