Resumen del Editor

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.

AMAZING!!

This book is so inspirational! Perfectly written and so easy to listen to!
I would definitely recommend it!

great job Bobby!

I enjoyed hearing your story and connected with many parts of the book Thank you for sharing there are a lot of people that struggle with addictions and they don't always get to hear the side of the children I'm proud of you for being aware of what addiction can do and not becoming a part of the statistic.

Loved it!

The story of the underdog who made something of himself is not lost on me. I too have had to pull myself up by my boot straps and have overcome my past. And I agree that everyday is another opportunity for a good day. Life is what we make of it and one’s outlook on a situation can determine how the day will evolve. Bobby is a role model with a great story that will encourage even the most down trodden individual. I am ready for the next book, “Fail until you don’t.”

Engaging, heartwarming and above all REAL

Felt like I was just having coffee with Bobby while he told me stories. If you listen to his show and are like me, there are times when he goes to commercial you wish the story would have continued, we'll... In this book, you get to hear the whole stories, uninterrupted. So glad he narrated it himself. We'll done, Bobby. Have 30 seconds and enjoy the compliments you receive from this book as there are sure to be many!

Bobby Bones is such an inspiration and entertainer!

First, as someone who listens to a lot of audio books, I have to say that Bobby is one of the best, if not the best, narrators I've listened to. He was very engaging, funny, and true to himself.

Second, Bobby is great! I was one of those people who was not happy when the Bobby Bones Show took over my morning program. I was resistant and would change the station whenever the music stopped playing, but Bobby and the gang quickly won me over, and I enjoy spending every morning with them. So naturally, I had to buy his book!

Third, the book is great! It's captivating from start to finish. It was really interesting to learn more about Bobby - the struggles he's faced, his sheer determination, and his successes. Whether you're a fan of the show or not, this is a great read (that I highly recommend listening to)!!

Touching

Bobby bones is a stand up human being and deserves every bit of fortune he has received. Getting to know him and his story brought me to tears several times. I'm a life long Bobby bones show fan, and hope to one day meet Bobby to discuss the amazing book he has written.
