New. It's the real stories, not the publicists' confections, that concern Colin Escott. We hear Perry Como's story in his own words: it wasn't all smooth. We learn about the astonishing twists and turns in Roy Orbison's life, and the stories behind the songs we know so well. And we go down with Vernon Oxford, the last great honky tonk singer, who came to Nashville just a little too late. These are stories for anyone who loves what Escott calls "little songs from great sorrows." They will fascinate even the most casual fan of popular music, and they're told here in sympathetic, engaging, and illuminating prose.

Paperback / softback. New. This title presents an array of talents, from the famous Roy Orbison and Perry Como, to the more obscure Sonny Burgess and the Collins Kids. Escott shows how these individual stories illuminate an entire era of music history.
