Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride: Lasting Legends and Untold

Johnny's Cash and Charley's Pride: Lasting Legends and Untold Adventures in Country Music

Peter Guralnick, dean of rock-and roll-storytellers, writes in the introduction to Johnnyâ€™s Cash & Charleyâ€™s Pride, â€œPeter Cooper has always been in the mix.â€ Whether spending time with Johnny Cash or Kris Kristofferson, playing bass for Loretta Lynn, discussing songwriting with Taylor Swift, or introducing the Grateful Deadâ€™s Robert Hunter to Porter Wagoner, Peter Cooper has continually found himself in the presence of music royalty and the recipient of countless intimate conversations, asides, and confidences.

In Johnnyâ€™s Cash & Charleyâ€™s Pride: Lasting Legends and Untold Adventures in Country Music, Cooper chronicles his many â€œin the mixâ€ tales since arriving in Nashville in 2000 to cover the country music scene for the Tennessean. Filled with untold stories and newly revealed histories, it is an informal yet well-studied inside view of country musicâ€™s greatest characters and pivotal moments. Now a senior director at the Country Music Hall of Fame, Cooperâ€™s stories are akin to a curated behind-the-scenes tour of country music.

Spanning nineteen chapters, Cooper offers an original take on the formative days at WSM and engaging introductions to an ensemble cast of country musicâ€™s icons, quirks, and golden-but-hidden personalities. With a gem on every page, Cooper has crafted a perceptive, smiling, and atypical immersion into the world of country music that will keep any music fan engaged with its wit, passion, and authenticity.
