Belmont Country Music Book of the Year Award, 2013.

"A detailed account of the life and career of country music superstar Marty Robbins. Anyone interested in Robbins or the country music world of his long era will enjoy Diane Diekman's refreshing, compelling narrative." --Ronnie Pugh, author of Ernest Tubb: The Texas Troubadour

"A well-told and informative biography of a great but over looked country star."--Country Music People


"A top country & western artist who crossed over to the pop charts, Marty Robbins deserves this well-written, well-researched account of his life and music. Diekman's expert history is a welcome addition to the oeuvre of classic country music biography."

--Holly George-Warren, author of Public Cowboy No. 1: The Life and Times of Gene Autry


"Diekman propels the narrative with impressive detail and energy, leaving the reader with an impression that can only echo the admiration and respect of those who knew him."--The Austin Chronicle

"In her excellent new, 2012 biography, Diane Diekman explores the personal, more nuanced side of this unique and gifted talent and explains how he was painfully shy by nature."--American Cowboy
