Luck or Something Like It is the first memoir by a celebrated American singer who rose from Depression-era Texas to decades of chart success. The book traces early years spent in poverty, a start as a jazz bassist, and time with the New Christy Minstrels before finding a voice with the First Edition.

The story follows a Nashville reinvention and the making of signature songs such as "Lucille," "The Gambler," "Lady," and "Islands in the Stream." It also highlights the creative partnerships and friendships formed along the way, including memorable moments with Dottie West, Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton.

Framed by studio snapshots and life on the road, the memoir offers an intimate portrait of an artist balancing craft, collaboration and the realities of a long career in American music.
