Bernie Nelson, Songwriter for Alabama & Miranda Lambert, Shares How God Works Behind Many Country Songs
Songwriter Bernie Nelson is sharing the stories and inspirations behind some of the biggest hits in country music in his new book, HonkyTonk Angels: Stories of God's Influence on Nashville's Most Iconic Songs. The book describes the inside workings of both the country music world, and the presense of God's hand upon some of the biggest songs in country music's history.
With a birds eye view Bernie Nelson shares rare glimpes of the creation and journeys of these songs. Being a 30 plus year respected veteran of the famous Music Row, Bernie has gained the trust of many of Nashvilles biggest names so as to tell the stories like many of them have never been shared before.
From "Old Flame" (Alabama) to "On the Other Hand" (Randy Travis) and "The House That Built Me" (Miranda Lambert), Nelson takes readers on a tour through some of the most iconic songs ever recorded in country music and how they got out into the world.
"My hope in writing the book is, first of all, to give those that have never had an inside view of the songwriting world a peek behind the curtain," Nelson shares. "Secondly, to show both songwriters and or anyone trying to achieve their goal that God has a perfect plan for you and your gifts and to be both hardworking and patient."
Nelson has had multi-Platinum cuts by Conway Twitty, Ricky Van Shelton, Kenny Chesney, Wynonna, Collin Raye, Confederate Railroad, Chris Ledoux, Kris Kristofferson, John Anderson and many more. Throughout his career, his songs have sold over 25 million copies.
