This illustrated biography tells the story of one of the most decorated songwriters in history, Country Music Hall of Fame member Bill Anderson, who broke into the music business with “City Lights,” which he penned at the age of nineteen, in 1957. When singer Ray Price released the song in 1958 on Columbia Records, it became a #1 country hit, and it launched Anderson’s long and storied career as a songwriter and recording artist. Anderson’s songs have been recorded by performers as varied as Connie Smith, James Brown, Dean Martin, Willie Nelson, Charley Pride, the Louvin Brothers, Elvis Costello, Conway Twitty, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kenny Chesney, and countless others. His multifaceted career has included stints as a disc jockey, sportswriter, and television star. At the same time, he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to bridge eras in his music and collaborate with writers across the country music spectrum, cementing his reputation as a songwriter and recording artist of uncommon impact and distinction. This book was published as a companion to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s exhibition Bill Anderson: As Far as I Can See, and it contains a foreword from fellow Grand Ole Opry star Jeannie Seely, along with seventy-five personal photographs and significant images rarely seen.

Die in Südthüringen nahe der bayerischen Grenze gelegene Burgruine Henneberg zählt zu den bedeutenden Zeugnissen einer längst vergangenen Dynastie. Die Henneberger Grafen prägten im Hoch- und Spätmittelalter nicht nur die Geschichte Südthüringens und Unterfrankens entscheidend, sondern spielten zeitweise auch eine herausragende Rolle in der Reichsgeschichte. Von der im Bauernkrieg 1525 zerstörten Burg blieben nur wenige Gebäudereste erhalten. Archäologische Grabungen sowie die Arbeit von Historikern und Bauforschern haben jedoch wesentlich zur Erhellung des historischen Bestands beigetragen. Sehenswert sind die spätmittelalterliche Ringmauer, der mächtige Bergfried und besonders die Reste der Holzstube, die zu den ältesten Bauten dieser Art auf Burgen im deutschsprachigen Raum zählt.

Husband and wife Boudleaux and Felice Bryant wrote more than six thousand songs together in a wide variety of musical styles. Many would come to be regarded as pop and country classics.

It contains more than 100 rare personal photographs and reproductions of song manuscripts, and it celebrates their remarkable musical achievements and endearing love story
