Having a Large Time!

I’m still working on the manuscript, but I just got the proof for the cover for my upcoming book about Southern music, and I’m very pleased with how it turned out.

The book, “LARGE TIME: On the Southern Music Beat, 1976-1986,” includes stories about Elvis, the Allman Brothers, James Brown, R.E.M., Dolly Parton, Isaac Hayes, Atlanta Rhythm Section, the Commodores, Jimmy Buffett, Willie Nelson, Joe South, Roy Orbison, the Brains, Chet Atkins, Charlie Daniels, the B-52’s, Jerry Lee Lewis, Lionel Richie, Chet Atkins, Kenny Rogers, Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts, Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash, the Dregs, Tanya Tucker, B.B. King, the Oak Ridge Boys, Amy Grant, Barbara Mandrell, Kris Kristofferson and many others!

And, of course, The Beatles make quite a few cameos in the book, with performers ranging from Carl Perkins to the Commodores talking about them.

If you’re interested in receiving word when the book is available for order, just send an email to goodypress@mindspring.com. Put “BOOK” in the subject line.
