Bush describes his agonizing, but ultimately successful struggle to keep performing and rebuild his fan base, as well as the hard-won happiness he has found in his personal life.Woven throughout Bush's autobiography is the never-before-told story of Texas honky-tonk music, from Bob Wills and Floyd Tillman to Junior Brown and Pat Green. He has one of the purest honky-tonk voices ever to come out of Texas.

In addition, Bush covers a double-handful of his Texas contemporaries, his multiple marriages and his disrespect for the contemporary Nashville sound-all with unabas

Johnny Bush is a legend to country music insiders (like George Strait, Ralph Emery and Ray Price), a mogul to his patrons in Texas, yet shamefully few fans outside the state have ever heard his name or can identify his songs (even a song made internationally famous by Willie Nelso.
