by Diamond Rio & Tom Roland
With the purchase of the NELSONfree version you get the audio book and the ebook.
From the publisher: *If your only exposure to Diamond Rio is the band's flawlessly layered harmonies and tender lyrics, you only know a fraction of the story.
You don't know about the coal mining grandfather, the taskmaster piano teacher from Berlin, the quarter midget car racing, the King Tutt impressions, the four-year-old band member, or the slaughterhouse chores. And while these details might even seem insignificant to the group's nearly two decades of chart-dominating singles, they are essential elements to the band's collective journey.
The individual stories of Diamond Rio's members reveal the intersection of six lives at a shared goal. Through the group's rise from theme park entertainers to country music superstars is familiar among plenty of other Nashville musicians. Diamond Rio's unusual hurdles distinguish the group from its peers.
In this portrait of one of Nashville's most adored country groups, the members of Diamond Rio give a candid and often amusing account of their rise to--and near fall--country music's A-list.*
Beautiful Mess is a great collectors item for any fan of Diamond Rio. I would recommend this book to anyone that is a lover of their music. It takes you behind the music scene. You get to know the history of the band and how they overcame obstacles.
After reading the book, it gave me more respect and admiration for Diamond Rio.
The story shows how the group followed God's plan. In the world today it's hard to make the decision to follow God's plan and not our own. We need to put away our wants and accept the blessings that God gives us.
...What a beautiful mess I'm in...
