Crook & Chase - book "Crook & Chase: Our Lives, The Music, and The Stars"

Crook & Chase
Our Lives, The Music, and The Stars
Lorianne Crook & Charlie Chase

They have been described by TV Guide as The Nashville Network's "Dream Team." And for the past dozen years, Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase have been more than the hosts of one of the most popular shows in country music. They have been at the center of the country scene, and confidants to the artists whose lives so often reflect their songs.

In this incredibly candid and revealing book, Crook and Chase tell their own stories and those of the stars, taking the reader behind the scenes of the most popular music in the world. Crook and Chase is like a conversation with the biggest names in country music, while the millions of fans who have watched the give-and-take of Lorianne and Charlie's five-nights-a-week performance listen in.

Here are rare glimpses into the lives behind the smiles of country music's stars: Lorrie Morgan's effort to save her husband, Keith Whitley, from his self-destructive ways; the battles of Garth Brooks and Vince Gill, Tammy Wynette and Reba McEntire, to stay centered in spite of all-engulfing music careers; the love stries of Jimmy Dean and Roger Miller; and the wit and down-home wisdom of Dolly Parton, Willie Neson, and Chet Atkins.

Packed with observations, anecdotes, and character insights, "Crook & Chase" shows what life is really like when the bus is on the road and the wheels - and music - go round and round.

And, of course, Lorianne and Charlie take you behind the cameras of their hit shows "This Week In Country Music," "Crook & Chasem," and "Music City Tonight," and look back on the memorable times - from the most embarrassing moments on the air to the stars trying their darndest to get the best of the hosts. All of it is told with a shoes-off style that holds nothing back, from cheating hearts and broken dreams to the purest form of country humor.

It's Crook and Chase, live, from Nashville.
