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 Cline's 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 Cline's 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.

Though based on Ellis Nassour's original Patsy Cline biography published in 1981, Honky Tonk Angel is actually a brand new book by author Nassour, in that he reapproached his subject with additional interviews and new insight.
Honky Tonk Angel has been one of our most consistent sellers since the publication of the hardcover Collector's Edition in 1993. The book has found thousands of fans around the world, and continues to elicit incredible praise from readers.
I love your book so much because you let us get to know Patsy through the multi-dimensional person she was.You show us the daughter, wife, mother, friend and the best damn singer that ever walked the face of this earth! The unique way you blend all this makes it easier for us who never got to know Patsy to understand better the woman she was. She had a temper like a Texas wildcat, but she was also a soft, sexy, classy lady. Telling her story through the interviews with those who loved her, especially her Mother and Brenda Lee, is truly a grand ability. Your book is the greatest!
Myy interviews with old friend and devoted Patsy Cline fan, Louise Seger, make up the entire spoken word portion of the hit revue, Always, Patsy Cline. Through my book, Louise has become popular throughout the U.S. and U.K. for her stories of the friendship and letters she shared with Patsy Cline.
