Country Music's Most Embarrassing Moments

Like the rest of us, country music stars frequently experience mortifying, humiliating moments they would just as soon forget. Unlike the rest of us, however, when something embarrassing happens to an entertainer, it usually occurs in the bright glare of spotlights. Now, in Country Music's Most Embarrassing Moments, music journalist James Dickerson shares inside stories of some of those moments for twenty-four country entertainers, including legendary stars Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Shania Twain, Chet Atkins, Janie Fricke, Terri Clark, Marty Stuart, and T. G. Sheppard. These painfully true stories from country music's elite are about moments that, for the first time, they have decided to share with their friends. Included are stories of forgetting the words to the national anthem, pants splitting open during concerts, being signalled by fans that one's fly is unzipped, tripping over electrical cords and destroying an entire percussion section and being arrested on stage as a prank set up by the band. Country music fans will enjoy this inside look at one of the occupational hazards of being an entertainer. Includes photographs and biographies of 25 country music stars.
