Reviews

Faragher, a reluctant Nashville insider, here attempts to "expose" the country music racket. Far from being an enlightening glimpse behind the scenes, his book is nothing more than a tedious, mean-spirited grouse at an industry whose sins and scandals are (at least by Faragher's account) no worse than those of any other big business. Faragher engages in pointless name-calling and personal attacks on co-workers, associates, and the professional musicians in his circle. Much of his vehemence is leveled at obscure supporting figures whose names will have little meaning to even the most ardent fans. The amateurish writing only underscores the book's banality. Not recommended.
