    I learned a lot about old Hank. I've listened to his music my whole life and could never understand how he was able to write the songs he did in such a short life. After this book I understand. RAB Vernon Fl

    This is my second book to read by mr. Escott. The details that he uses and his style of writing are both captivating yet easily understood. His style keeps me searching for more from him. If you read one of his books you have to read them all.
