4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A poor account of a great TalentBy Teri ShowalterThis book is a less personal; less detailed; and believe it or not a lesser quality written book than Georges Autobiography; "I Lived toTell it All." It rushes through his career with few quotes; few stories; and basic knowledge of Georges life and career. All this writer has accomplished is an obvious attempt at cashing in on George Joness death without adding any new or detailed accounts of his life and artistry or even adding any personal judgment of Georges talent. He glosses over many years and the turmoil of Georges personal life. This is a rushed; uninteresting account of a very interesting man.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
