A GUITAR AND A PEN presents, for the first time, the literary work of some of the best storytellers in the world: the songwriters who cut and polish tales down to sparkling three-minute gems. A blend of humor and poignancy, these tales range from Kris Kristofferson's charming tale of how an explicit natural rock formation causes chaos in a small farming town, to the domestic drama of a Kentucky family with six daughters, to Charlie Daniels' character-driven fable of money and unhappiness, to Gary Nicholson's riveting tale of an albino African American singer\/songwriter who inspired him to be a musician. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA celebration of music and storytelling, other contributors include Hal Ketchum, Janis Ian, Mark D. Sanders, Tom T. Hall, Marshall Chapman, and Robert Hicks, among many other notable Nashville luminaries.","brand":"Center Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165593583856,"sku":"9781599951386","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781599951386_p0.jpg?v=1769901916","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781599951386","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
