Diamond Rio

Six talented musicians make up the band Diamond Rio. The individual stories,
good times and bad of these six friends make up the book"Beautiful Mess".
I have always loved their music with its layered harmonies and tender lyrics.
Each chapter gives us insight into the background of members Marty Roe, Dan Truman, Jimmy
Olander, Brian Prout, Gene Johnson and Dana Williams and how they stayed together all these years. Details of their personal joys, trials and troubles emerge from six different perspectives.
This book is an inside scoop on how tough the music industry can be. I fell in love with this band in the nineties and found this book very interesting.
