Book Review: Bless His Broken Heart!
Summary: 1 Stars
When I found out that a biography was written about Tennessee Ernie Ford, I couldn't wait to read it. What a waste of time! He's singing on page 4, dies on page 5, and is living through the Great Depression on page 6. This book is pitiful. No organization whatsoever. The author is like a leap frog. She spends more time talking about Johnny Cash and other singers, than she does about Ernie. She spends more time talking about his brother Stanley's death, than his death. She also has a lot of nerve to "critique" his recordings. Anyone who listens to Ernie singing the powerful "Were You There" and then fusses about his pronucication, has missed the beauty and sincerity of his singing. The best title for this book would be "Recollections and Reflections of Tennessee Ernie Ford's Family". Maybe his family will seek out a true fan that has writing skill to write a biography worthy of a great man. Other than an interesting story about Ernie serenading a girl, this book has little value. The author brags about how one of the sons read her "work" and was "kind" enough not to change a word of it. Well, he didn't do her a favor. It might have been kind for her, but it was awful for his fans and worse for his Ernie. As Ernie would put it "This book is useless as a milk bucket under a bull."
