#1 New York Times Bestseller A touching; funny; heart-wrenching; and triumphant memoir from one of the biggest names in radio; the host of The Bobby Bones Show; one of the most listened-to drive time morning radio shows in the nation.Growing up poor in Mountain Pine; Arkansas; with a young; addicted mom; Bobby Estell fell in love with country music. Abandoned by his father at the age of five; Bobby saw the radio as his way out—a dream that came true in college when he went on air at the Henderson State University campus station broadcasting as Bobby Bones; while simultaneously starting The Bobby Bones Show at 105.9 KLAZ. Bobby’s passions were pop; country music; and comedy; and he blended the three to become a tastemaker in the country music industry; heard by millions daily. Bobby broke the format of standard country radio; mixing country and pop with entertainment news and information; and has interviewed some of the biggest names in the business; including Luke Bryan; Taylor Swift; Blake Shelton; Tim McGraw; Lady Antebellum; and Jason Aldean.Yet despite the glamour; fame; and money; Bobby has never forgotten his roots; the mom and grandmother who raised him; the work ethic he embraced which saved him and encouraged him to explore the world; and the good values that shaped him. In this funny; poignant memoir told in Bobby’s distinctive patter; he takes fans on a tour of his road to radio. Bobby doesn’t shy away from the curves he continues to navigate—including his obsessive-compulsive disorder—on his journey to find the happiness of a healthy family.Funny and tender; raw and honest; Bare Bones is pure Bobby Bones—surprising; entertaining; inspiring; and authentic.

It does wander a bit when addressing aspects of the rangers. Also; as the book is heavily reliant on geography; the limitations of accessing maps on a Kindle makes following the story a bit difficult.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

The history of these men was just fascinating I had no idea ! I found myself listening in parking lots; my driveway and other places where people look at you like "whats up with you dude."
