hillbilly heart by Billy Ray Cyrus

"The first time I met Billy Ray I felt like I had known him all of my life.  I still feel the same way today. He is a warm feeling in my heart and a sweet thought on my mind. He seems like family to me.  I've always been interested in his life, his success and in his children, especially my beautiful fairy god daughter, Miley. I'm very proud of Billy Ray and find him very fascinating and interesting.  I know you will enjoy finding out all about him, his life and rise to fame.  What we have most in common is a Hillbilly Heart."—Dolly Parton

"What a life this guy has had. He goes from having one of the biggest records in the history of radio to watching his daughter grow from a child to one of the biggest stars in the business. There are very few people who can handle that. Billy Ray has done an incredible job as a father and an artist and now as an author."—Kenny Rogers

"Billy Ray's talent, whether singing, acting, or writing, amazes me, and his versatility sets him apart from most. Hillbilly Heart is a beautiful account of Billy Ray's colorful life—great stories, told by a humble man. My life is richer, and the world is a better place, because of him—just as yours will be after reading this book."—Randy Travis

"It's no exaggeration to call country star Cyrus' memoir a hoot."—New York Post

"Told in a natural and candid tone, the book will please country-music fans and may even win over some skeptics.…a warm account of a star who has managed to remain humble."—Kirkus Reviews

"Cyrus chronicles a rollercoaster life, from his troubled adolescence and the revelation that he wanted to become a musician, to life on the road, the challenges and successes of writing music, the difficulties and joys of marriage, and his work in television."—Publishers Weekly
