The only true, comprehensive and compelling biography of one of western music history’s inimitable talents: “No One to Cry To:  A Long, Hard Ride into the Sunset with FOY WILLING of The Riders of the Purple Sage,” by Sharon Lee Willing, is now available through the publisher, Wheatmark, Inc. (Wheatmark.com), Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, BarnesandNoble.com, Borders.com, Target.com and numerous other outlets.

 

    “No One to Cry To” tells about Foy Willing’s spectacular rise to national popularity through the Golden Age of Radio, million-seller recordings, and rip-snortin’ performances in “B” western movies with cowboy stars Charles Starrett, Monte Hale and Roy Rogers.  It’s also the story of a musical genius’s sad career decline and battle with alcohol and drugs.  With sometimes disturbing - but always tender - honesty, the author chronicles Foy’s struggles to regain his niche in the musical entertainment world, and the abrupt cutting short of that imminent success.  “No One to Cry To” is a fascinating introduction to an incomparable man and a bygone era.  Includes never-before-seen photos and a complete filmography and discography.
