内容简介
Late in 1959, the Brown siblings—Maxine, Bonnie, and Jim
Ed—were enjoying unprecedented international success, rivaled only
by their longtime friend Elvis Presley. They had a bona fide
megahit on their hands, which topped both the country and pop
charts and gave rise to the polished sound of the multibillion
dollar country music industry we know today. Mesmerized by the
Browns’ haunting harmonies, the Beatles even tried to learn their
secret. Their unique harmony, however, was only achievable through
shared blood, and the trio’s perfect pitch was honed by a childhood
spent listening for the elusive pulse and tone of an impeccably
tempered blade at their parent’s Arkansas sawmill.

But the Browns’ celebrity couldn’t survive the world changing
around them, and the bonds of family began to fray along with the
fame. Heartbreakingly, the novel jumps between the Browns’
promising past and the present, which finds Maxine—once supremely
confident and ravenous in her pursuit of applause—ailing and alone.
As her world increasingly narrows, her hunger for just one more
chance to secure her legacy only grows, as does her need for human
connection.

Lyrical and nuanced, Nashville Chrome hits all the
right grace notes with its vivid evocation of an era in American
music, while at its heart it is a wrenching meditation on the
complexities of fame and of one family—forgotten yet utterly
unforgettable when reclaimed by Bass—who experienced them
firsthand.
