Description

Although it's been some time since Foy Willing's spectacular rise to national stardom through radio, personal appearances, million-seller recordings and "B" western movies, there are still people today who remember him and ". . . the smoothest western sounds ever recorded," as voiced by western music historian, O. J. Sikes. And for those who don't recall those more-innocent days, "No One to Cry To" panoramas the Golden Age of Radio and the rip-roaring cowboy movies with Monte Hale and Roy Rogers of the 40s and 50s. "No One to Cry To" is also the story of a music genius's sad decline from a star-studded life to a recovering alcoholic's struggle to regain recognition for his song writing, singing and arranging talents. The story of that comeback, cut short at its imminent pinnacle, is aptly described by Ranger Doug (Riders in the Sky) who said: "I found 'No One to Cry To' to be a moving and deeply personal look at the troubled life of a hugely talented performer. To see Foy's terrible struggles as well as his enormous successes gives a set of insights unobtainable anywhere else . . . deeply affecting." "No One to Cry To" is published by Wheatmark, Inc.
