Bare Bones: I'm Not Lonely If You're Reading This Book
Bare Bones: I'm Not Lonely If You're Reading This Book | Bobby Bones
8 posts | 14 read | 2 to read
A touching, funny, heart-wrenching, and triumphant memoir from one of the biggest names in radio, the host of The Bobby Bones Show, one of the most listened-to drive time morning radio shows in the nation.Growing up poor in Mountain Pine, Arkansas, with a young, addicted mom, Bobby Estell fell in love with country music. Abandoned by his father at the age of five, Bobby saw the radio as his way out a dream that came true in college when he went on air at the Henderson State University campus station broadcasting as Bobby Bones, while simultaneously starting The Bobby Bones Show at 105.9 KLAZ. Bobby s passions were pop, country music, and comedy, and he blended the three to become a tastemaker in the country music industry, heard by millions daily. Bobby broke the format of standard country radio, mixing country and pop with entertainment news and information, and has interviewed some of the biggest names in the business, including Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum, and Jason Aldean.Yet despite the glamour, fame, and money, Bobby has never forgotten his roots, the mom and grandmother who raised him, the work ethic he embraced which saved him and encouraged him to explore the world, and the good values that shaped him. In this funny, poignant memoir told in Bobby s distinctive patter, he takes fans on a tour of his road to radio. Bobby doesn t shy away from the curves he continues to navigate including his obsessive-compulsive disorder on his journey to find the happiness of a healthy family.Funny and tender, raw and honest, Bare Bones is pure Bobby Bones surprising, entertaining, inspiring, and authentic."

Inside depth into one of my favorite Radio Host. My family has been listening to his show for years and the book was as funny as he is. Great insight into his life.

When I started reading this book, I didn‘t really know what to expect. But after reading this book, I respect Bobby Bones for revealing more of his life to the world.

My first Litsy post! I'm almost finished with Bobby's book and I have laughed and cried through it. He is one of the most genuine humans and I'm glad I tuned in to his radio station when I first moved to Austin many years ago. Love him and his book!
