I think I would've given this book 3.5 stars if that was an option, only because I tended to skip some of the songs I didn't know. Four stars seems a bit enthusiastic when you didn't actually read it cover to cover, but the songs I do know and read made up for the ones I don't know. Now, these songs have even more meaning behind them. A lot of these already held a special place in my heart because of their personal meaning to me. I think this is a book I'll come back to and re-read the stories behind the songs that mean the most to me. I don't listen to country music as much as I used to, and some of the songs hold so much sentimental value for me that they're hard to listen to. But to me, country music will always be the best genre when it comes to beautiful melodies combined with lyrics that haunt you. It's music that can inspire you and make you cry all at once.
