"I absolutely love this book! It's To Kill a Mockingbird with "Great Balls of Fire" playing in the background."
-- Jill McCorkle
author of Creatures of Habit
"It's been an adventure knowing Marshall Chapman over the last 25 + years. Now with this wonderful book, the rest of the world will be able to become acquainted with a true American original. She talks about the South and rock & roll in a voice that is funny, poignant, and authentic. You go, girl!"
-- Emmylou Harris
"Marshall Chpman writes like she lives -- with wild grace.
This book is as strong and sweet as a julep in July."
-- Alice Randall
author of The Wind Done Gone
"Goodbye, Little Rock and Roller is a great read full of honesty and emotion. Chapman's story of her personal journey evocatively captures a time and place many of us will recognize. Her yearning to be free and yet rooted is quintessentially American and her lyrics are rock 'n' roll poetry. My hope is that through this book more people will come to love her songs as much as I do."
-- Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley
"Marshall Chapman writes as good as she sings."
-- Larry Brown
author of The Rabbit Factory
"If Marshall can write such a book, the least I can do is render a blurb in lyric form:
Full of juice and of conviction,
Fast and loose and yet nonfiction,
If they make this book illegal
Let's declare Marshall law."
-- Roy Blount, Jr.
"It's a credit to Marshall Chapman's wit and spirit that Goodbye, Little Rock and Roller manages to tell the unvarnished truth about writing and playing music while still communicating just how much fun those adventures in the American night can be. Remembering the days when we were our own best enemies and almost drove each other sane, I can assure that Marshall is good company for any adventure upon which you might care to embark."
-- Dave Hickey, author of Air Guitar:
Essays on Art and Democracy
"Marshall Chapman deserves an honorary doctorate in verve and attitude. Anyone who thinks that this little rock and roller is saying goodbye has another thing coming."
-- E. Gordon Gee
Chancellor, Vanderbilt University
"Marshall used to play in my band. Hell, if she can survive that, she can certainly write about it... and anything else I imagine."
-- Jimmy Buffett
