Book Reviews of Public Cowboy No. 1: The Life and Times of Gene Autry
Book Review: Well Researched Bio of the First Singing Cowboy
Summary: 5 Stars
This long, well researched bio deserves extra praise for a complete filmography, a listing of every recording session (including who played and produced) and scores of pictures. Though the author is obviously a fan of Gene's, she doesn't shy aware from mentioning his frequent infidelities and alcoholism along with his generosity, loyalty, business acumen and talent. It was great to learn that the Autry-Rogers feud was a myth, that Gene was an early fan of Rudy Vallee and that he started his professional career recording Jimmy Rogers covers. This a must read for anyone interested in Gene or the cowboy as pop icon, and a great read for anyone who is a fan of good biography.
