Guide Review - Behind the Grand Ole Opry Curtain

Robert K. Oerman is commonly known for his immense knowledge of Country Music in general but he has really outdone himself with Behind the Grand Ole Opry Curtain.
Behind the Grand Ole Opry Curtain covers all of the more known and interesting tales and tragedies of The Grand Ole Opry but he takes a whole lot further by also detailing, connecting, and interweaving the people, history, and tales of not only the Grand Ole Opry but of Music City U.S.A.
Altogether, the author conducted over 150 interviews that covers an amazing 33 tales from behind the curtains of the Grand Ole Opry.
