Ralph Emery has always had the best seat in the house for watching country music grow from its rural American roots into a multinational billion-dollar business. As country music's foremost radio and television host, Ralph has the inside track on a world many have written about but few actually understand. Now, in The View from Nashville, Ralph introduces us to his friends, the people who turned Nashville into "Music City U.S.A."
Not being a country music fan, I thought twice about buying and reading this book. But I was pleasantly surprised by some of the compelling anecdotes and memories of the author.
