Five Stars Tore Norvald Osen i liked it.. Omnivorous Reader said A Lot More Marshall than Willie, Kris, Emmylou, etc.. Yes, it's very readable and interesting, probably worth for the story of a young and unknown Rodney Crowell meeting a another budding country singer, as the latter wandered down the street with his first record.However, this book is about Chapman, who apparently knew everybody who was anybody in the music business in Nashville. Those of us who are not fans wish she would get out of the way. She prints her interviews in the question and answer format, which makes it very clear where she has interrupted her interviewee in the middle of an interesting story with her own stuff.. "I love the stories but this honestly feels like a vehicle" according to Mr Harper. It's hard to put down, for sure. But when it's all said and done I was left feeling there is just way too much self promotion from the author and not enough actual interview print. I love the stories but this honestly feels like a vehicle to sell Marshall and her career.
