A Road Less Traveled: A Memoir

Tommy Overstreet has entertained people around the world, singing his brand of Country Music. Long considered one of Country Music's true innovators, he broke new ground with his record-breaking appearances in Las Vegas headlining the Landmark Hotel, Hacienda Hotel, The Golden Nugget and the Silver Slipper (where he recorded "Live From The Silver Slipper")! Tommy's list of Top 10 singles (26 in all, 7 number one hits) shattered many of the record industry's records, and established Tommy Overstreet as Solid Box Office. "Ever since Tommy Overstreet sang on stage as a young man with his dear friend and mentor, Gene Austin, his "uncle", he has charmed audiences not only with his rich and expressive voice, but with his endearing personality. Here, in these memoirs, readers will find the reason behind Tommy's superb delivery of a song, and why he rose to the top of his profession. In these accounts of his rubbing shoulders with many of the entertainment giants, Tommy reveals his humanity and his humility. This is a memoir you will want to read again and again as he tells of his life that brought him in contact with Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Marlene Dietrich and a host of other luminaries. I highly recommend this wonderful book by a great singer and songwriter." -Jory Sherman, Author of Bukowski & Me
