Why read it?
1 author picked The Farewell Tour as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This story about a female country singer spans her coming-of-age during the Depression and her struggle to make it as a country musician. Hearing this story from a female point of view is different and interesting. Much of the story is also about her life as a “regular person” after her heyday.
As she embarks on her “farewell tour” she must face the choices she’s made. The story is a good reminder that fame and glamour often come at a great cost.
From Phyllis' list on Books on musicians for those fascinated with musical history.
