DOWNLOAD EBOOKJames Cooley's mother had 10 children by six different fathers. She knew she could not care for all her sons and daughters, living as they did in the projects of Chattanooga, Tennessee. So she sent James and his older brother to live with their aunt and uncle in the tiny farming town of Graham, Alabama. Through humor, wit and engaging storytelling, James Cooley paints a picture about his arrival in that rural town in the deep South and his immediate realization that his life would never be the same again. In vivid detail, Cooley lays out his struggle to adjust from city life to country life and then back again to city life. Along the way, the lessons he learned molded him into a successful member of his community and a proud servant to his country. Now he shares those hard-earned lessons to educate, encourage and enlighten our next generation of leaders and the heroes who are helping them on their journey.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Boy's Country-Book: Being the Real Life of a Country Boy, Written by Himself; Exhibiting All the Amusements, Pleasures, and Pursuits of Children in the Country The next neighbour was old Tommy Hall - so we called him - a tall, thin man, who prided himself on his being born and bred a gentleman; but who, having spent all his property in gambling, racing, and hunting; had retired to this secluded village with the wreck of his fortune, some few shillings a week, and lived by himself in a house of two rooms. Gentle man as he was, however, he was very fond of new laid eggs, and whenever: he heard the hens cackling in our yard opposite, he made a speedy Visit there, and whoever went after him was sure to find empty nests. His neighbour was a good old woman, Mary Kater, who'lived in a house of a single room, where she often assembled her friends to a prayer-meeting, for she belonged to that most useful religious body the Methodists, and we used to peep through the space left by her window curtain on such occasions, and I then wondered at the zealous gestures and fervent zeal of herself and friends. But the house of all houses was the next. It was that of a poor widow, old Sally Garner. It was a small cottage, with a brick floor as worn and uneven as need be. A few crazy chairs, a table.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCountry music boasts a long tradition of rich, contradictory gender dynamics, creating a world where Kitty Wells could play the demure housewife and the honky-tonk angel simultaneously, Dolly Parton could move from traditionalist "girl singer" to outspoken trans rights advocate, and current radio playlists can alternate between the reckless masculinity of bro-country and the adolescent girlishness of Taylor Swift. In this follow-up volume to A Boy Named Sue, some of the leading authors in the field of country music studies reexamine the place of gender in country music, considering the ways country artists and listeners have negotiated gender and sexuality through their music and how gender has shaped the way that music is made and heard. In addition to shedding new light on such legends as Wells, Parton, Loretta Lynn, and Charley Pride, it traces more recent shifts in gender politics through the performances of such contemporary luminaries as Swift, Gretchen Wilson, and Blake Shelton. The book also explores the intersections of gender, race, class, and nationality in a host of less expected contexts, including the prisons of WWII-era Texas, where the members of the Goree All-Girl String Band became the unlikeliest of radio stars; the studios and offices of Plantation Records, where Jeannie C. Riley and Linda Martell challenged the social hierarchies of a changing South in the 1960s; and the burgeoning cities of present-day Brazil, where "college country" has become one way of negotiating masculinity in an age of economic and social instability.
