The Years the Wind Blew Away: Don Ricardo's Life and Times

Written between the late-1970s and 2012, this collection of newsletters is a snapshot of country musician Richard J. Dobson’s life and observations. With all the humor and sadness that comes from years of hard traveling, he covers topics as diverse as politics, the vagaries of human behavior, and the ever-changing state of the music industry. Taken as a whole, the book shows us a portrait of ourselves as we were—and how we’ve changed—filtered through Dobson’s own adventures and friendships.
