All the Gold in California and Other People, Places & Things is a remarkable read about an extraordinary life. Rich with reminiscences, humor, insight, and honesty, this 303-page tome tells the story of this Grammy award-winning singer's fall from grace and remarkable return to faith and freedom from drug and alcohol addiction.
Featuring 50 never-before published illustrations and a foreword by the late Johnny Cash, Larry talks about it all-his humble gospel music beginnings, his early musical success with such country music legends as Jimmy Dean, Dottie West, Kris Kristofferson, and Roger Miller, and his meteoric rise to the top and the songs that have made him a household name
303 pages - 6 x 9 - illustrated.
"Gatlin shares the hard lessons he's learned with young performers and others facing the seductive influences of drugs and alcohol, so they won't ruin their lives as he nearly did his."
--McClatchy News
"Co-written by Jeff Lenburg, [the book] is so conversational that it reads as if Gatlin wrote every word."
