Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: Patsy and Loretta were two trailblazers who'd be damned if they'd let men or convention tell them how to sing or perform. Together they stood up to venues shortchanging female singers and put their foot down with demanding managers. Instead of competing against each other, they forged a friendship. They leaned on each other while balancing touring and raising children, writing songs and making dinner. They were taking on the industry together, and they seemed to be winning when, on March 5, 1963, Patsy's plane went down just outside Nashville. That day, Loretta's life as she'd known it stopped, and she's spent the rest of her career trying to honor her friend and what they started all those years ago. -inside cover.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Discover the "important and inspiring" and never-before-told complete story of the remarkable relationship between country music icons Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn (Miranda Lambert).



Loretta Lynn and the late Patsy Cline are legends--country icons and sisters of the heart. For the first time ever Loretta tells their story: a celebration of their music and their relationship up until Patsy's tragic and untimely death.



Full of laughter and tears, this eye-opening, heartwarming memoir paints a picture of two stubborn, spirited country gals who'd be damned if they'd let men or convention tell them how to be. Set in the heady streets of the 1960s South, this nostalgia ride shows how Nashville blossomed into the city of music it is today. Tender and fierce, Me & Patsy Kickin' Up Dust is an up-close-and-personal portrait of a friendship that defined a generation and changed country music indelibly--and a meditation on love, loss and legacy.
