A beloved member of the country music community, David "Stringbean"
Akeman found nationwide fame as a cast member of Hee Haw. The 1973
murder of Stringbean and his wife forever changed Nashville's sense
of itself. Millions of others mourned not only the slain couple but
the passing of the way of life that country music had long
represented. Taylor Hagood merges the story of Stringbean's life
with an account of murder and courtroom drama. Mentored by Uncle
Dave Macon and Bill Monroe, Stringbean was a bridge to country's
early days. His instrumental savvy and old-time singing style drew
upon a deep love for traditional country music that, along with his
humor and humanity, won him the reverence of younger artists and
made his violent death all the more shocking. Hagood delves into
the unexpected questions and uneasy resolutions raised by the
atmosphere of retribution surrounding the murder trial and recounts
the redemption story that followed decades later.
