“Whisperin Bill Anderson: An Unprecedented Life in Country Music” is the story of the Country Music legend Bill Anderson by Bill Anderson. It’s his autobiography. Actually this book is an update upon his autobiography written some years ago.
Not so unusual for an autobiography, it starts with his parents, their families, and his arrival and progressing chronologically through his life. Covering early musical interests, early jobs, and how he progressed from play songs (as a radio DJ) to writing and performing. In so doing becoming a prolific songwriter and beloved performer over the past six decades. It provides insight into his craft and the life of a performer through his personal experiences.
I’m not a big country music fan, but thoroughly enjoyed Bill Anderson’s memoir and gladly recommend it
NOTE: I received this book in a Goodreads giveaway.
