Like Me
Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer
Chely Wright
The award-winning country music artist-songwriter and singer (Single White Female, Shut Up and Drive,and others)-writes movingly and candidly about her life, her career, her extraordinary journey. From her childhood in Wellsville, Kansas, high school homecoming queen, determining at a young age to become a country music star, being cast in Country Music USA Opryland, making a pact with God-to keep her ‘sinning’ to a minimum if he’d get her to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry-and her dream coming true at eighteen . . . She writes about the record contracts and bus tours; the concerts and TV videos; the critical acclaim and industry awards; the #1 hits on the Billboard charts; the fans; the friendships and the working collaborations with Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, and others. . . We see the vortex of success taking its toll on her life, and then her finding a new voice in her music, with music flowing naturally from her that never came so easily. Like Meis a book of revelation: honest, inspiring and true.
