Bobby Braddock
Down and Out in Orburndale (A limited number of signed copies are available).
Louisiana State University Press

You might not recognize the name Bobby Braddock right off, but if you've ever listened to country music, you are no doubt familiar with his work. Braddock created--among many other hits for stars like George Jones and Tammy Wynette--what many consider one of the greatest country songs ever: "He Stopped Loving Her Today."

In his affecting memoir, Down in Orburndale, Braddock reveals himself to be a skilled writer of more than the classic 3-minute country song. His new book is both a distinctive portrait of an artist as a young man and a vivid description of the pre-Disney Central Florida of the 1940s and 1950s in which he grew up.
