Late Freddy Powers Thru the Eyes and Pens of Catherine Powers, Jake Brown, et al

Country Music legend Freddy Powers, credited with introducing Dixieland Jazz into Country for the first time, is affectionately known as the 'Ol Blue Eyes' of Country Music, according to the L.A. Times, & if you were to "ask country superstars Willie Nelson, George Jones, or Merle Haggard (they'll)...tell you that he's one of country music's best-kept secrets."

That secret is spilled for the first time on paper in Powers' highly-entertaining and emotionally-touching page-turner "THE SPREE OF '83 - The Life and Times of Freddy Powers (with Exclusive Commentary from Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard)." Taking readers from the plains of West Texas into the Marine Core in the 40s before winding up in Arlington, TX alongside Willie Nelson as undiscovered artists in the early 50s before Freddy's career as one of Nevada's TOP performing acts exploded over the 1960s and '70s before landing in the studio with Willie Nelson to produce the Grammy-winning 1980 Over the Rainbow album.

His career got even hotter in the 1980s when he joined forces with another country music superstar, Merle Haggard, moving up to Lake Shasta in Northern California, where the 2 lived a truly rock & roll lifestyle on houseboats during the height of the roaring 80s, writing # 1 hit after # 1 hit, including "Natural High," "Let's Chase Each Other Around the Room Tonight," "I Always Get Lucky With You," among many more.  Visit the official website by clicking on Freddy's website.
