A Guitar and a Pen: Stories by Country Music's Greatest Songwriters

Robert Hicks, John Bohlinger and Justin Stelter (edited by)
Center Street (2008)
ISBN 9781599950648
Reviewed by Gina Holland for RebeccasReads (6/08)

"A Guitar And A Pen" is very unique; it’s a collection of short stories that were written by some of country music’s most talented songwriters. I have always enjoyed country music, and I really enjoyed reading these stories. The collection proved that these artists’ abilities swell beyond their songwriting talents. Each story was written well, and I found them all a joy to read. In contrast to listening to the artists’ hit songs, I was able to actually sit down, read and absorb what I was being told.

Many of the stories really relate to the world around us today. There is joy, sadness, happiness, death, life, and a lot about family! Some of the writers are well known today in the world of Country Music. Among the writers are Kris Kristofferson, Charlie Daniels, John Hadley, and Marshall Chapman, and many, many more.

"A Guitar And A Pen" is a very good blend of fiction and non-fiction. Some of the stories written are so poignant that they feel as though they are real. That songwriters wrote this book makes it even more worth the while of reading it. Anticipation is one thing that keeps us going in this life. I suggest you read this book. Once you read it, you might want to read it again and again. It is definitely a collectible. Thanks to all the songwriters for taking time out of their busy lives to put together such a wonderful collection.
