overlooked gem

This is a wonderful book reeking with authenticity about the hard lives lived in country music before the glitter of CMT. Cobb is a beautiful, spare stylist whose penchant for the truth keeps him from jumping on a glib music business plot and adorning it with with easy ornamentation. He's after something deeper here about tragedy and human limitations. I never could understand why this novel failed to garner a larger following other than the usual vagaries of the book business that sheds non bestselling titles within three weeks. "Crazy Heart," I suspect, is one that is destined to be rediscovered.
