Non-Fiction Memoir
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.
