It has been said that Mike Huckabee is a different kind of politician. And this book profiles his different kind of guitar collection. The former governor of Arkansas was a stereotypical youngster who was mesmerized by the Beatles' appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, when he was eight and a half years old. He's been fascinated with basses and guitars ever since, and has played numerous brands and models over the decades. Mike's collection dates back to an "identical twin" of his father's 1934 Gene Autry cowboy guitar, and he also has his first electric guitar from 1966. Both of those instruments are on display herein (along with their stories) as are dozens of basses and guitars he's collected in more recent times, including autographed guitars and custom-made instruments. Also participating with guitar-centric recollections are several famous guitarists who have appeared on Huckabee's television show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, including Doyle Dykes, Mark Farner, Steve Wariner, Vince Martell, Greg Martin, Doug Phelps and Richard Young. BASSES AND GUITARS: The Huckabee Collection is an informative and entertaining look at an assemblage that is a unique part of the guitar collecting phenomenon.

This book is the authorized chronicle of the Atlanta Rhythm Section, the legendary southern rock band that created such memorable hits as "Champagne Jam," "So Into You," "Imaginary Lover," "Spooky," and "Doraville." Already seasoned studio professionals when they formed in 1970, the A.R.S. forged a new direction in southern rock by focusing on the integrity of their music onstage and in the studio. Through platinum and gold albums--A Rock and Roll Alternative, Champagne Jam, and Underdog--as well as international tours, huge outdoor concerts, and personnel changes, the band has staunchly maintained its dedication to its craft over the decades. This story contains recollections from original and current band members, producers, technicians, other musicians, and fans, as well as more than 120 photos of band members from the early days as backup musicians for Roy Orbison and other iconic artists to the present day.
