“The first time I met Billy Ray I felt like I had known him all of
my life. I still feel the same way today. He is a warm feeling in
my heart and a sweet thought on my mind. He seems like family to
me. I’ve always been interested in his life, his success and in his
children, especially my beautiful fairy god daughter, Miley. I’m
very proud of Billy Ray and find him very fascinating and
interesting. I know you will enjoy finding out all about him, his
life and rise to fame. What we have most in common is a Hillbilly
Heart.” —Dolly Parton
“What a life this guy has had. He goes from having one of the
biggest records in the history of radio to watching his daughter
grow from a child to one of the biggest stars in the business.
There are very few people who can handle that. Billy Ray has done
an incredible job as a father and an artist and now as an author.”
—Kenny Rogers
“Billy Ray’s talent, whether singing, acting, or writing, amazes
me, and his versatility sets him apart from most. Hillbilly Heart
is a beautiful account of Billy Ray’s colorful life—great stories,
told by a humble man. My life is richer, and the world is a better
place, because of him—just as yours will be after reading this
book.” —Randy Travis
“It’s no exaggeration to call country star Cyrus’ memoir a hoot.”
—New York Post
“Told in a natural and candid tone, the book will please
country-music fans and may even win over some skeptics…A warm
account of a star who has managed to remain humble.” —Kirkus
Reviews
“Cyrus chronicles a rollercoaster life, from his troubled
adolescence and the revelation that he wanted to become a musician,
to life on the road, the challenges and successes of writing music,
the difficulties and joys of marriage, and his work in television.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Such earnest yearning, in his songs and in the telling of his life
story, endears Billy Ray Cyrus to his audience. During recent
interviews promoting the book, Cyrus makes a point to honor and pay
tribute to the victims of last week’s Boston Marathon bombing.
Against the backdrop of such a terrible and baffling event, the
timing of Hillbilly Heart, with its positive focus on faith in the
source of all good things, seems fortuitous.” —Biographile
“This book is an honest look at his life. He’s truthful about his
drinking, drugs and the mistakes he’s made in his life.” —Red
Carpet Crash
