A solid musician’s memoir. I know Clint Black’s music, but I didn't know anything about his background. It is not surprising that a gifted songwriter is also a great storyteller. This book keeps the reader entertained. Each chapter is the title of a Clint Black song with a few lines of lyrics. The early chapters about his childhood and his pre-Nashville music career as a struggling artist are the highlights of this well-written book. This book obviously will appeal to Clint Black fans but also music fans in general who enjoy the behind-the-scenes look at the music industry.

I flew through this book by one of my favorite country singers. Clint writes like he talks…low-key, warm, funny and informative. Very easy read, and also fascinating story.

Good book, mostly about his music career. He does speak some about his childhood and later about Lisa and Lily Pearl. It’s got some good stories sprinkled throughout the book. I didn’t realize how many number one hits he has. He does a good job reading the audiobook.

It was a joy to read about the life of Clint, a life lived with standards not usually found in the music business. As with most in the business, he paid his dues on the way to one of the best. He had standards for his music, writing his own, as well as the standards of those who worked with him. His commitment to family is to be commended. A very relaxing read, with much detail of the workings of the music industry.
