Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate
Story of Patsy Cline by Ellis Nassour
Kevin Morgan
Earthy, sexy, and vivacious, the life of beloved country singer, Patsy Cline,
who soared from obscurity to international fame to tragic death in just thirty
short years, is explored in colorful and poignant detail. An innovator —and
even a hell-raiser—Cline broke all the boys’ club barriers of Nashville’s
music business in the 1950s and brought a new Nashville sound to the
nation with her pop hits and torch ballads like “Walking After Midnight,” “I
Fall to Pieces“ and Crazy.” She is the subject of a major Hollywood movie
and countless articles, and her albums are still selling 45 years after her
death. Ellis Nassour was the very first to write about Cline and did so with
the cooperation of the stars who knew and loved her—including Jimmy
Dean, Jan Howard, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn, Roger Miller, Dottie West,
and Faron Young. He was the only writer to interview Clines mother and
husbands. This updated edition features not only a complete discography
and a host of never-before-published photographs, but includes an
afterword that details controversial claims about her birth, the battle
between Clines siblings for her possessions, the amazing influence Cline
had on a new generation of singers and, in Cline’s own words from letters
to a devoted friend, her excitement as her career soared to new heights
and her marriage descended to new depths.

Personal Review: Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate Story of
Patsy Cline by Ellis Nassour
I love this Updated Edition of Honky Tonk Angel! Why do I love it? It's the
only book that is so complete in the details of Patsy Cline's life & dreams.
Mr. Nassour has updated the book with a lot of rare photos of Patsy and a
lot of detail, such as the excerpts from letters Patsy wrote that add a lot
more clarity to Patsy's struggle. If you are a Patsifan & a fan of country
music this is a must read. It's jammed packed with quotes from many stars
and those who really knew Patsy. Not to put the other Patsy bio books
down, but this book is still clearly number one and it now has a ton of new
information. I also like the new larger size! I especially wanted to refute
the "reviewer" who wrote that this is a cut and paste job and that much was
left out from the original paperback. I don't know what book this "reviewer"
read, but it can't be the Updated Edition. I read the earlier editions and I
don't find anything left out. It's the total opposite because much has been
added in my opinion.
