"The story of two of the greatest country singers of all time, told from the inside." according to Neil R Rossi. Most of these "my life in the music business" books are best read only by their most devoted fans. But boy howdy! Alton can tell a story! I confess I've been a Delmore Brothers fan since I first heard them, but even if you're not you'll get caught up in their history. Highly recommended.. An important book and a great read. Best book ever written about life in the music business. This was Alton's diary, not intended for publication. It's the truth, folks. Simply written, it's astounding in its simplicity and poignancy. An important work. A must read for all fans of music and great writing.
