It’s an interesting book about Garth’s career, and it’s affect on Country Music.
I had seen some interviews with the author, but I finally read it over the holidays.
I had a pretty good seat for the Garth phenomenon because I was just getting into Country radio when he was getting started. It always intriqued me that he was the biggest thing in music at the time, not to mention our format, but his name was a dirty word in Nashville.
It’s definately a “pro-Garth” book, but it does get into some of the controversies that we used to hear whispers about at conventions and such. Things like his fights with his record label, his relationship with Trisha Yearwood, the whole “Chris Gaines” fiasco and more.
It also shows how his career impacted the rest of Country music. When Garth sold a lot of albums, so did everybody else.
If you enjoy “behind-the-scenes” type stuff about Country music, I think you would enjoy the book, Garth fans especially.
