We Could

Husband and wife Boudleaux and Felice Bryant wrote more than six thousand songs together in a wide variety of musical styles. Many would come to be regarded as pop and country classics. These include the biggest hits of the Everly Brothers, such as “Bye Bye Love,” “Wake Up Little Susie,” and “All I Have to Do Is Dream.” As Nashville’s first full-time professional songwriters, the Bryants created enduring compositions that ranged from hard-country songs to tunes of romance and heartbreak, and even the widely known Tennessee state song “Rocky Top.” This book was published as a companion to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibition We Could: The Songwriting Artistry of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant. It contains more than 100 rare personal photographs and reproductions of song manuscripts, and it celebrates their remarkable musical achievements and endearing love story
