About this Book

"While you might not recognize Pete Wade's name, you have heard his work ... thousands of times. To say that he has played on the biggest hits in country music history would be an understatement. Just a handful of those classic songs include Tanya Tucker's "Delta Dawn," Mel Tillis' "I Ain't Never," George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley P.T.A." and Jeanne Pruett's "Satin Sheets." Wade also played guitar on Charley Pride's "Mountain of Love," Ray Price's "For the Good Times," Loretta Lynn's "Fist City," Crystal Gayle's "Don't It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue," Donna Fargo's "The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A.," Lynn Anderson's "Rose Garden," and John Anderson's "Swingin'." Pete Wade's autobiography takes readers into the studio as he plays on those legendary country hits. Wade also shares memories of his years on the road with Ray Price, Patsy Cline, Jean Shepard, Kitty Wells and Elvis Presley. The Elvis chapter is quite interesting as Pete shares how he once had to give Elvis the shirt off his own back! The book's foreword is written by Willie Nelson. That came as one final gift to Pete from his friend Jimmy Capps. "Jimmy was in the hospital, just a couple weeks before he died. But his thoughts were still on his friend Pete and on making sure his book got done," explains Scot England. "He also wanted to get Willie Nelson involved with the book. Willie and Pete were together at the very beginning of their careers, as they played behind Ray Price. From his hospital bed, Jimmy helped arrange for Willie Nelson to write the foreword. So, this has really become a special tribute to Pete and also to Jimmy Capps." The hardback book includes over 100 rare photos from Pete's personal collection. Each book will be personally autographed by guitar legend Pete Wade at no extra charge!" --Amazon.com.
